Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins

Vol. 2 of the Hunger Games series.  This was my treat for a vacation read.  There have been plenty of reviews of this series, and I generally agree that this 2nd volume is slower to get moving, but has a good cliffhanger finish.  The story starts with Katniss and her partner, Peeta, taking their victory tour for winning the Hunger Games.  During the tour, they visit each of the districts, and learn of the smoldering rebellion.  In this volume, Katniss moves from innocent to naive and sometimes clueless, to the point where the people really plotting the rebellion leave her out of the plannning, so she won't inadvertently mess it up.  The second half has the action that's expected, and leading well into the final book.
400 p.
