About this deal

Instead of the characters and plot being the focus, they are merely vessels for exploring the presented themes.

The focus in the Potter books is on the plot and the characters' journey and growth through it all, and though they explore some mature themes, that element is used more as a storytelling device to drive character growth and plot development, and is only slipped in once the reader is enthralled by the world of the books and the characters within. It is written in the perspective of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the future, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. However, she may rely too much on the strength of the prose without providing the drama young adult listeners often enjoy. You enter a future world where every year two tributes from each district are thrown into an arena expected to fight to the death or get knocked out by other means. Collins tells her story in the first-person present, meaning that we are supposedly getting new information at the same rate as Katniss is.It stopped being about Prim when Katniss decided she didn't want to be a piece in the Capitol's games and she fought for freedom, dignity and a future. That was something else that kept me reading: the speed of the novels never lets up, and each installment is just as exciting as the last. Whilst it has been a little while since I read these books (although I intend a reread someday) I feel confident in saying that I still recommend this trilogy to dystopian fans and teens who are looking to start reading.

From each zone a male and female will be selected to participate in the Hunger Games which continue until only one competitor remains alive, to be declared the winner. Again, I think this triangle was completely unnecessary, especially if the author was planning to gloss over the love story the way she did.She's motivated for partially selfish reasons, and that's what allows her to get manipulated so much in the first place. Because they are reading for entertainment, and expected an engaging plot with relatable characters and themes that would take them on a journey to another world. Read by the actress Carolyn McCormick, it has a total running time of eleven hours and fourteen minutes. Well, that’s the story of Gregor the Overlander, the first book in her five-part series, The Underland Chronicles. The Hunger Games Trilogy is quite understandably one of the greatest successes in young adult fiction over the last decade.

It's not like Harry had to make a choice to never go back to the land of the muggles, unlike Bella, who turned into a vampire and was now a completely different creature. Just like the right spices in an exotic dish, teen angst can work wonders in a knowing hand, but the story overdoses on it and never recovers. She didn’t sugarcoat anything for her readers, and only those with strong minds (and at often times, stomachs) can handle the grit and velocity that the Hunger Games carries to the end. I hate Gale with a passion (though I have nothing against Liam Hemsworth, 'cause he's smoking hot), so we are not even going to discuss this. Es un poco como Harry Potter, una persona normal que no quiere la fama que recibe, pero que le hace frente, y es que cuando vence (spoiler) van cambiando las cosas y se acerca la revolución, y creo que es todo lo que puedo contar si no quiero aguar la fiesta literaria a los que vengan después de mí.

I'm not quite sure what it was about this one that got to me, but it mostly didn't work in the right ways. It actually feels to me like the story has been censored and stripped down to the bone in an attempt to make it appropriate for as wide an audience as possible.

Direi di cominciare parlando della trama: ci troviamo in una Nord America non più tale, distopica che dopo una serie di crisi ambientali e economiche si è deciso di instaurare un sistema politico a distretti con Capitol City come diciamo città fulcro, ogni distretto, 13, si occupa di un particolare settore: pesca, agricoltura e così via e ogni distretto doveva rifornire Capitol City in cui si ha una vita paradisiaca mentre nei distretti non così tanto. As punishment for a past failed rebellion against the Capitol, which resulted in the obliteration of District 13, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each of the remaining districts are selected by an annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, a contest in which the "tributes" must fight to the death in an outdoor arena until only one remains. is the question needing answering for both parties, and they are happy to set it aside after that has been answered (the first book).

In March 2012, during the time of The Hunger Games film's release, Scholastic reported 26 million Hunger Games trilogy books in print, including movie tie-in books.
