What is the point of view of Catching Fire?

The point of view of the book Catching
Fire
is first person.  In fact, all three books in the Hunger
Games
trilogy are written in first person.  The story is told from the
perspective of the main character Katniss Everdeen.  We are not privy to any information
Katniss does not know.  When a character leaves her presence, we do not follow that
character until they interact with Katniss again.  While this is a perspective that
draws the reader into the story, it is also somewhat limiting.  We can only see what
Katniss sees and we can only know what see knows.  Katniss is often tricked, lied to, or
confused.  We cannot know what motivates other characters nor what they think or feel
unless they choose to share this with Katniss.
