Catching Fire, the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy, continues where The Hunger Games left off, but takes a darker approach. The book, though consistent with the first book in tone, is much more political, violent, and disturbing.

The book focuses more on the larger picture of life in Panem, and focuses on more of the story outside of Katniss' life. Catching Fire is even more violent than The Hunger Games, but also goes deeper into the romantic elements of the story.

My one complain about Catching Fire is that I felt like it ended too soon. Where The Hunger Games felt like a complete and finished work, Catching Fire is a cliffhanger that is stopped short in anticipation of the third book.

Catching Fire is a fast but though provoking read. Can't wait for the third book!
