Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games series and is an excellent read - my favourite character was Haymitch. The main themes are survival, sacrifice and government control. It was released in 2009 and I would recommend it to children, teenagers and young adults who like dystopian fiction books.

I liked Katniss's costumes best, especially the wedding dress that turned into a mockingbird. I would definitely recommend it to other people.

This is my favourite book in the hunger games series. It just seems less depressing than Mockingjay, but more interesting than the original hunger games.

I thought it was great but I preferred the first book. The ideas are creative and terrific but I find it less interesting somehow.

Katniss is my favourite character. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading about the future and can cope with adventure and death.

Loved it, my favourite character was either Finnick, peeta or katniss. Would recommend to anyone my age or a tiny bit older

I thought Finnick (my favourite character) was very cool when he wielded his trident. Beetee was very clever when he set up the electric wire trap, planning to fry the force field while electrocuting the opponents. This book is very gory and violent so I would recommend this book to 11 - 12 year olds.

This was just as epic as the first hunger games book! As it is the Quarter Quell this year, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark got entered into The Hunger Games again! Luckily they survived, and he others broke the rules as District 13 saved more than one person, making the Capitol look bad.

I loved this book and couldn’t put it down! I especially enjoyed Susanne Collins’ writing style and the constant cliffhangers. My favourite character was Katniss Everdeen for her faith in herself. I would recommend it to anyone who likes eventful books.

I didn’t like it as much as the first book, but it was alright.

Catching Fire is an excellent sequel to The Hunger Games, that takes us deeper into the aftermath of surviving the games and the torturous nightmares of such a disturbing place that make the terror unforgettable. After pulling the berries stunt that miraculously managed to keep both her and Peeta Mellark alive at the end of the Hunger Games Katniss now faces the threat of losing her loved ones when President Snow realizes that some people have taken Katniss's survival as an act of defiance, and a signal to rebel against the controlling Capitol.(A similar rebellion had already taken place before the events of the first book - it is also how the annual Hunger Games were established,to remind the rebels that they wouldn’t stand a chance against the Capitol) To keep her family and friends alive, Katniss must attempt to convince the entirety of Panem that her berries trick was purely out of an insatiable fear of losing Peeta, the love of her life, not as defiance against the Capitol. However, with a disastrous plot twist and the horrors of the games still looming over her life, Katniss finds comfort in the only other person she knows understands her situation: Peeta. Throughout this book we see Katniss begin to appreciate Peeta as a person and more, rather than her supposed star-crossed lover. This is where Katniss and Peeta really become a major part of each other's lives with a mutual understanding of most things, and when Peeta becomes more and more important to Katniss. We learn more about the other districts and previous victors in this book along with the hints of uprisings in these districts, the injustices of the Capitol and people's eagerness to fight back despite the fear. There is definitely more of a sense of unity among the victors of all people, and the feel of a pre-war spark and the sense of hope that follows these uprisings. I would recommend this entire series to anyone and would give this book a ∞/5(infinity out of five).

This is a good book. There are a lot of different characters. It was very exciting - I wanted to keep finding out what was going to happen next.

A great sequel with good returning characters and new twists to the plot of the books

This was a phenomenal book full of adventure and adrenaline. This dystopian book is all about Katniss Everdeen. She tries to forget the hunger games, a bloodthirsty tv show where all the districts fight to the death, and there is only ONE WINNER. But it isn't over. She must return to the arena for the Quarter Quell, which occurs every 25 years. They choose the contestants from the existing pool of victors. But in the real world, there is an uprising, and she, the Mockingjay, is the face of the rebellion to defeat the Capitol. My favourite character is Katniss, since she is a strong female character that is ready to fight, and is such an inspiration. I would recommend this to someone who likes wars, adrenaline, dystopia and fear.
