Catching Fire (Spoilers)
I read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. You probably all have already read this book, but I'll talk about it anyway. Catching Fire is the sequel to The Hunger Games. This book is really good i recommend that you read it if you haven't already. The book will obviously only make sense if you have read the prequel so be sure to do that first! This book starts with Katniss Everdeen talking about the victory tour that comes with winning the Hunger Games. Eventually the 75th Hunger Games arrive with a little twist, the tributes are chosen from the victors of each district. Katniss Everdeen is selected by default because she is the only victor from her district. Believed to have started a rebellion Katniss must marry Peeta Mellark, her fellow victor so that her rebellious action from the first book could be seen as an act of love instead of rebellion. During the interviews we see that Katniss's wedding dress burst into flames and turn into a mockingjay costume, we then also find out that Katniss is pregnant with Peeta's child which causes an uproar among the audience. Prior to the games Katniss's stylist is beaten by peacekeepers for the mockingjay stunt. During the games she and Peeta make new allies and find something out about the arena. Eventually they are able to destroy a force-field around the arena making their escape. We then find out that a rebellion has been planned and will continue through the third book Mockingjay. So that is a kind-of brief summary of Catching Fire the second book of the Hunger Games Trilogy.
