[...] I find the play on our society interesting, Pfeffer seems more skeptical about it. This was another review I found helpful which is more in depth. It talks more about the plot of the books and the writing, [...]

I read the Hunger Games, and to be honest, it was a very empty experience. The characters are not very in-depth and believable. Yes, Katniss is strong and alone, but what heroine isn’t these days? The rampant killing off any character at any time can easily be compared to Harry Potter. And, yes, I do compare it to Battle Royale. If this is intentional or not is irrelevant: the book series was upsetting. The characters are stereotypical of their roles in the story. Katniss: Main Character who is set apart from the others who are cold-blooded killers. Peeta: the hopelessly in love sap who’s along for the ride. Gale: The best friend many consider to be the future spouse for the main character. They all play their predictable parts to perfection. Disappointing perfection. All in all, this book was mediocre at best, and with this passing fad getting a movie, I am truly disappointed in today’s American populace. Books five times better are ignored for whatever reason. And, to top it all off, not one person I know have given a good excuse to why Hunger Games is good. You want a good book, look in the god damn library!

The story of Hunger Games takes place in the post-apocalyptic Panem, which has been divided into 13 districts. The Capitol, which rules the 13 districts, had unfair policies. This made the people from the districts rebel. So, the 13th district was destroyed. The Hunger Games had 24 kids participate in the game, so two people from each district are chosen to represent their district. When Kat Everdeen finds out that her sister has been chosen to represent their district, Kat volunteers to take her place. Kat and Peeta are the represenatives for their district. The bad thing is, only 1 out of the 24 kids can survive. Later on during the game Peeta tells Kat that he likes her. Towards the end of the game, their is an announcement that now two people may survive at the end of the survival game. It turns out at the end that Peeta and Kat survive.
What I really liked about the novel was that their was a lot of detail during the game and their was a lot of action involved during the survival.
What I disliked about the novel was that they took to long talking about the actual game, and it got a little boring towards the end.
If I were to give this book a rating I would give it a 4 because it was interesting and a lot of action.

I think the series is addictive, fun, but very predictable… I admit the themes you’ve highlighted are compelling, but something about the narrative irks me. And I think it’s because it could have been a much better book. Something epic. Instead, I just feel less guilty about reading it than when I read Twilight. For youth audiences, I think it’s a good introduction to dystopian fiction, but I think adults should know better before praising the series as the best thing since sliced bread. I’ve gone into a bit more detail (/ranting) at my blog, so feel free to come visit and disagree with me. ;)

We had to deal with this review in our exam after dealing with the second part of the book. This is why I wrote down the internet adress given and came back. I definetly wanted to read the whole review and it was worth it. Not to mention the book, by the way.

Ok, so, my friends started reading the Hunger Games and told me I needed it. So, I got the books. I picked up the book and from the first page I couldn’t stop. I had it with me everywhere. Dinner. Bed. TV. I couldn’t stop. At the end of the day it took all my will to put the the book down to sleep. 3 days. The whole series and when I finished, I was numb until I realized, I wasn’t done. I think about it constantly. Little things make you think of it. I needed to read again. Had to. I read it everyday of my life and wish I could erase the memories of reading it so the impact would be fresh. I know it word for word, and it’s truly, the best book ever.

I completely agree Jia – The Hunger Games is a book in its own right, and too much is made by the comparison to Battle Royale. Admittedly, I’d still recommend Takami’s novel as a much more engrossing read, but The Hunger Games still has something to offer.
