Hunger Games Trilogy (Box set)

Product Information

By hijinks, I mean Peeta and Katniss meet their fellow tributes, train for a couple of weeks, and are thrust into an arena to brutally, unapologetically murder each other. But enough with the lighthearted aspects of the Hunger Games trilogy. Katniss and Peeta outsmart the Capitol by threatening to ingest deadly berries, and they both escape from the arena alive. The Capitol, a bunch of insane control freaks, isn’t thrilled with what went down. So naturally, the following year they force Katniss and Peeta to compete again, this time with former victors of the games. When they also find loopholes in THOSE games, things go haywire faster than they will once general audiences read my jab at the Twilight series. Katniss goes from being the pawn of a much bigger game to a symbol of freedom and strength… and that’s only in the first installment. a b Fujita, Akiko (March 22, 2012).

Someone said "if in doubt, write about what you know" - so I expected at least a more profound delving into the female psyche; I was, again, sorely disappointed.

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: Dominus, Susan (April 8, 2011).

To start things another way, I'll admit this: I had no interest in Hunger Games until, upon hearing someone actually describe it, I thought: "Holy smokemonsters. That sounds like an American rip-off of Battle Royale." From that moment on, there was little that could stop me from diving straight into Suzanne Collins' derivative little world.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. a b King, Stephen (September 8, 2008).

In any case, the beauty is that these two sacrifices from each of the twelve remaining districts are not just killed outright, like on an altar atop a stone ziggurat Aztec-style. No, that would be too easy. Instead, they fight in televised survival games (inexplicably called the Hunger Games). These are wildly popular (like I'm told Survivor or American Idol used to be), especially with the Capitol crowd and contestants take on a form of celebrity and their stylists are princes and princesses among men.

Retrieved September 5, 2010.Allora, credo che alla fine di questa lettura Katniss sia diventata uno dei miei comfort character, perché durante la lettura mi piaceva sempre di più in quanto lo vedo un personaggio reale: una persona che tiene alla famiglia e alle persone a lei care, che quando sbaglia cerca di rimediare e anche perché nei miei modi sembro un po lei; Poi abbiamo Peeta, qua dobbiamo fare un'applauso alla scrittrice in quanto è riuscita a rendere interessante un personaggio di indole dolce. So che molta altra gente avrebbe Gale a Peeta, ma mettendo i pro e i contro, Peeta è quello che ha il vantaggio, perché Gale e Katniss hanno un carattere troppo simili tra loro, e Peeta con il suo carattere riesce a controbilanciare i bollenti spiriti di Katniss. I just finished reading the series and already want to re-read it. The Hunger Games trilogy is freaking amazing! It has become one of my favorite series of all times!!! Attempt to refrain from yelling and cursing Suzanne Collins when in public. Suzanne Collins is a goddess given to us from above-she deserves to be loved. And no screaming in public. It causes a scene. That is something you do in private.

This is THE otp. It's obvious. No explanation needed. They're just shamelessly perfect for each other. This is the first series that I loved unconditionally. Suzanne Collins is the first author who made me actually want to pursue reading. For this and many other reasons named below, The Hunger Games is truly remarkable.

It was a very compelling ride! I loved book 1 & 2 more than book 3, but not by much. It was the first series I'd read in ages and got me really hooked to books again - so for that alone I am very grateful. Parlando del libro in generale, mi è piaciuta il mondo della Collins, sentivo quell'atmosfera da dittatura e lo stile di vita dei vari distretti, poi mi anche piaciuto che abbia evidenziato il lato oscuro della televisione, ovvero che tutto quello che vediamo sullo schermo non è quello che sembra anche il concetto della censura (e il periodo storico in cui stiamo vivendo attualmente e in cui stavo leggendo questa trilogia, mi ha un pò aiutato a coglierlo meglio). These books really rekindled my love for reading and the anticipation of waiting a year between releases, I think, really trapped me in this new fangirl universe.
