Product Information

Catching Fire had an initial print of 350,000 copies, [4] a number which had grown to over 750,000 by February 2010. Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, and Mags form a group and head into the jungle where Katniss discovers that an electrical force field blocks part of the island and creates a dome over them. She is a threat to Katniss in the arena, but is later captured by the Capitol along with Peeta and Johanna. Beetee is thrown from the island, and Katniss goes to Wiress' body to retrieve a wire that Beetee wanted desperately. Katniss unwittingly sets off a show of respect for herself and protest against the Capitol – started by an old man in the district.

Katniss and Peeta ally themselves with Finnick Odair from District 4 and Mags, his 80-year-old mentor. It explores several themes including manipulation, love and sacrifice, the power of appearances, strength, and courage, and the struggle for control. She listens to them speak of how they have not had shrimp in the Capitol for weeks and realizes that other districts are rebelling. Throughout this book we see Katniss begin to appreciate Peeta as a person and more, rather than her supposed star-crossed lover.In addition, Time magazine named Catching Fire the fourth top fiction book of 2009, [7] while People magazine rated it their eighth Best Book of 2009.

Among its accolades, the film was nominated for the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Action Film and a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film.Gale then says that they could have a rebellion in District 12 as well, and he runs off to spread the news. The plate leaves her in the middle of blue water, which she realizes "is no place for a girl on fire. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Katniss is overwhelmed, and kisses him with true feeling, like when they were back in the cave, and decides she must still attempt to fulfill her plan.With mirrors of The Dispossessed as well as The Running Guy as well as a custom-made backpedaling to the Roman combative diversions, the Appetite Gamings finds out just how to conjure up something brand-new as well as entirely superordinary in what might be considered as a well made use of out story present. After, Peeta brings the morphling female to the beach and they notice that the bites have punctured a vital organ. Cant stick around for the 3rd movie to end up (except a number of years yet) so I will certainly value reading the book initially. As a reader, I felt excited and even hopeful: could it be that this series and its characters were actually going somewhere? They hike to the tree and wrap the wire around it, and Katniss and Johanna begin carrying it back to the beach.
