I think that Katniss must have amazing self control not to go burn the capitol to the floor. They promised her not to ever have to go back, and she is chosen for the quarter quell. But I love the large alliance and the escape from the arena.

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

It's been tough for Katniss. She is a victor of the Hunger Games, the deadly event that is held every year to maintain the peace among Panem. She is supposedly in love with Peeta Mellark, the boy with the bread. Her life is constantly changing, peacekeepers showing up at her door, her family in a even higher rate of dying, and even her own hunting partner changing up their relationship completely. Nothing seems to go her way, and the Capitol makes it even harder. She's going back to the games. Against all odds, the annual Quarter Quell states that the 75th annual Hunger Games is the game to return 24 victors back into the games. And obviously, being the only girl from District Twelve, Katniss is going back. While battling human eating monkeys, other tributes and her hatred for President Snow, Katniss must realize her importance to the games. Those berries that were held out in the last games were the start of a rebellion. She isn't just the girl on fire, she's the face of the rebellion. And the Capitol doesn't want that happening. Thrilling, gruesome and excitement that's unleashed with the flip of a page, Catching Fire exceeds the power of The Hunger Games in every way. It's the start of something much more, and it will get that fire burning up inside of you. You are now truly. . . CATCHING FIRE!
