Set in a harsh and unforgiving future The Hunger Games (this is the second in a trilogy) tells the story of Katniss and how she becomes a symbol for the revolution against the brutal regime at the capital. In Catching Fire Katniss has survived The Hunger Games but is she able to survive the more subtle danger of revolution?Suzanne Collins writes thrilling fiction, the true definition of a unputdownable book - like Katniss and the other player in The Hunger Games you are never quite sure what is happening next. The central character is well rounded and believable, with human flaws that make you like her even when you are annoyed with her. It is a depressing read, because it depicts the negative aspects of human beings so well but also the hope that one human being can inspire in others.
"All I was doing was trying to keep Peeta and myself alive. Any act of rebellion was purely coincidental. But when the Capitol decrees that only one tribute can live and you have the audacity to challenge it, I guess that's a rebellion in itself. My only defence was pretending that I was driven insane by a passionate love for Peeta. So we were both allowed to live. To be crowned victors. To go home and celebrate and wave goodbye to the cameras and be left alone. Until now."
