"...enough action to please Hunger Games fans and leaves enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to be desperate for the next installment." - School Library Journal, starred review"Whereas Katniss kills with finesse, Collins writes with raw power." - Time Magazine"Collins expertly blends fantasy, romance and political intrigue (so who needs vampires?)." - People Magazine"Collins has joined J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer as a writer of children's books that adults are eager to read." - Bloomberg.com"Catching Fire not only lived up to my high expectations, it surpassed them. It's just as exciting as The Hunger Games, but even more gut wrenching, because you already know these characters, you've already suffered with them." - Stephenie Meyer
