Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is the second installment of the Hunger Games trilogy. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have just won the 75th Hunger Games, and for the first time in the history of the games, there are two winning tributes who also happen to be from the same district. Both Katniss and Peeta are allowed to go back home to District 12, where they will begin their new lives as Victors. Being a Victor has its perks, such as a new, very nice house, a place of honor in the history of the Capitol, and getting enough food to keep their families fed for the rest of their lives. However, there are also some downsides to being a Victor, one of them being the obligation of going around to the different Districts in what is known as the Victory Tour.
The Victory Tour isn't as happy and cheerful as the name suggests. While on their tour, Katniss and Peeta discover that the Victory Tour entails so much more than just waving and looking pretty for the crowd. These people are the families and friends of the other Tributes who died--no, were killed, in the Games, by Peeta and Katniss. How will these crowds react to the deaths of their loved ones by the Victors' hands? How will Peeta and Katniss react to the families of the friends, and enemies that were made during the Games? If you enjoy suspense, love triangles, and politicians being made absolute fools, read onward and find out what happens as these two Victors from District 12 embark on what is sure to be an interesting tour of the Capitol.
