Catching Fire


Recently I have been reading a book called Catching Fire. Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games trioligy. The books are set in the land of Panem, the country that rose up from the ruins of North America. Panem is dictated by the people of the Capitol, who are rich and powerful, while the 12 districts are struggling to get by. Every year the Capitol forces two young people from every district to particpiate in the Hunger Games where the motto is "Kill or be killed."

The series follow the lifes of two characters: Katniss Everdeen, a wild girl who struggles to keep her family at life and Peeta Mellark, the local bakers son. Both of the so called "Tributes" originate from District 12, the poorest of all the districts.

I really enjoyed the first book and so far I am enjoying the second one. I would reccomend this book for anyone who loves a good fantasy book with an amazing twist.
