Hunger Games Trilogy (Box set)

Product Information

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. I gagged when I attatched the gif above this, and I cannot possibly look at it any more. Franich, Darren (March 21, 2011). " 'Hunger Games': Suzanne Collins talks Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss".

Just imagine all the things that blow-you-away, that make you cry, that make you laugh, that make you love, that give a warm glow to your heart, that make you smile through your tears, that make your heart ache, that make you want to be a better person and combine all of them. The result: The Hunger Games Trilogy. Well at least for movie 1, Hunger Games, release in 2012 and movie 2, Catching Fire release in 2013. That would be two more rereads of all three books.

The Hunger Games trilogy left a bitter taste in my mouth - the taste of failure, of a wonderful opportunity thrown away. Valby, Karen (January 25, 2011). " 'The Hunger Games' gets release date".

Try to refrain from throwing your copy of this series at the wall nearest you-you may have to buy a new one, and not all books are cheap. I don't know, but this strikes me as being only slightly more sensible than the Battle Royale justification. Apparently government officials in the future are as dumb as they are today.Staskiewicz, Keith (March 17, 2011). " 'Hunger Games': Is Jennifer Lawrence the Katniss of your dreams?".

I keep asking myself, did the author have a word limit she had to adhere to? Was she over her deadline by too much and had to rush? Was she simply bored/tired of this world? What on earth could’ve made her do this? The second book is everything that it should have been in a sequel. Much like Golden Son in the Red Rising series, this was the perfect sequel: it expands the world, gives depth to the characters we know, grows in the writing department by being much smoother, and above all, tells a tense and more compelling and interesting sequel story.

The deus ex machina strikes mercilessly again and again at the already frail realism; the harrowing times when the characters are forced to wait it out in grueling circumstances don't harrow much at all - instead, they are shrugged off with an almost bored "and so the hours and days went by"; injuries always seem to either have an on-off switch or conveniently benefit from "coincidental" recovery periods (which are skipped just as easily with the same forced fast-forwarding); with only a few exceptions, the author seems to get scared and cringe away when reaching violent scenes. All of this finally contributes to the feeling that you're reading a medical treaty written by a butcher with good intentions. Booklist Editors' Choice: Books for Youth, 2008. Booklist.

All in all, reading the trilogy felt like I was being taken for a baby in a peek-a-boo game while being force-fed a cheap moral lesson and lectured on what I should feel and think instead of being allowed to actually experience it and come to my own conclusions. While working on a Kids WB show called Generation O! she met children’s author James Proimos, who talked her into giving children’s books a try. In this horribly disturbing world, we are introduced to the protagonist Katniss Everdeen, a girl who volunteers to take her little sister's place in the Hunger Games. The trilogy is essentially the story of Katniss and how she goes from a girl struggling to win the Games to a symbol of rebellion for the oppressed. It is also the story of her complex relationships with the very masculine Gale and the doggedly loyal Peeta, two very different heroes whose characters are steadily etched out as the trilogy progresses. Katniss’s character is at once brave and selfish, steadfast and inconsistent, strong and weak – I was quite let down by the way she turns out in the last book but the author almost compensates for it by great character development in Peeta.Portato con me sull’isola (non proprio deserta, ma il distanziamento sociale aiuta a creare l’atmosfera) come lettura d’evasione ha svolto appieno il suo dovere, tanto che l’ho divorato in una decina di giorni (1440 pagine, non so se mi spiego). This series is a must. You will love it till the end of your days. It deserves an infinite number of stars. The amount of action, romance, heart-break, and inspiration in this trilogy is unforgettable. And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me."

In contrast, The Hunger Games trilogy is not about Katniss, Gale, and Peeta, and their adventures in the land of Panem, and should not be read as such. This is where people get confused in their reactions to the books, and those who focus on the plot and characters as if they were reading another Harry Potter often give up reading due to taking offense at the content and events of the books. Instead of the characters and plot being the focus, they are merely vessels for exploring the presented themes.Green, John (November 7, 2008). "Scary New World". The New York Times .

Tutti probabilmente conoscono questo nome in vari modi: dai libri, dai film e, per quella piccola minoranza, anche grazie al film parodia. Amongst the few book I read after seeing the movie (part 1) and I must say I liked having those extravagant pictures in my mind while enjoying the whole story. Seeing how Katniss is going to get out of one scrape after another is exciting and the three books are compelling enough reading that I finished the whole thing in about nine days. (And by "about nine days," I probably really just mean ten days.) As demonstrated in the above, the writing's not fantastic by any stretch. Collins suffers from a typical need to over-dramatize, to the point where irrational things are treated sensibly. But (!) it's still a league-and-a-half better than Twilight, not that there isn't much that isn't better written than Meyer's delicious collection of vampire doggerel. I only compare them because they both occupy that meta-genre of light, compulsive reads that others may better know as Summer Reading. And yet, here we are in December! Regardless, I was several nights up far past my bedtime letting Collins plot have its way with me.

From New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu comes the second book in the exhilarating Young Elites series Scherzi a parte, io avevo in libreria il volume con tutta la trilogia da molto tempo, e visto che mi ricordavo poco o niente dei film, ho colto la palla al balzo e ho iniziato la trilogia ha mente fresca. There have been a number of outstanding dystopian fantasies but The Hunger Games is profoundly imagined, nightmarish, psychologically plausible and quiet well written. It's more than just a very clever thriller. The stunning action sequences and the cleverness of concept and execution give this a haunting philosophical complexity. The choices the characters make and the strategies they use are often morally complex. The tributes build a personality they want the audience to see throughout the Games. [7] Library journal Voice of Youth Advocates names the major themes of The Hunger Games as "government control, ' big brother', and personal independence." [9] The trilogy's theme of power and downfall, similar to that of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, was pointed out by its publisher Scholastic. [10] Laura Miller of The New Yorker finds the author's stated premise of the Games –an exercise in propaganda and a "humiliating as well as torturous [...] punishment" for a failed uprising against the Capitol many years earlier– to be unconvincing. "You don't demoralize and dehumanize a subject people by turning them into celebrities and coaching them on how to craft an appealing persona for a mass audience." But the story works much better if the theme is vicissitudes of high school and "the adolescent social experience". Miller writes:
