Catching Fire picks up where Hunger Games ended, after Katniss and Peeta have become victors in the 74 annual Hunger Games in their country called Panem. The Hunger Games is a fight to the death kinda reality tv show during which two "tributes" from each of the 12 districts (kinda like states) must kill each other off on television. The event is held to remind the districts that The Capitol reigns supreme and that they are still being punished for an uprising against it that took place years and years ago.
In the first book, Katniss outwits the Games and the Capitol by making it so two people (she and Peeta) win the Hunger Games. Well in this book, she is going to pay for it.
The President of Panem sends both her and Peeta back into the deadly arena along with all of the other living tributes to fight to the death.
Once again Collins has created a serious page turner and Peeta and Katniss are more life-like than ever.
The ending leaves me wanting the last installment NOW, but I will be very sad when the trilogy is completed. It has been an adventurous, dangerous, captivating ride!
