preceding it, and after hearing that it would be adapted into a movie, I decided to see what all the fuss was about.<br><br>Overall, I was disappointed. It did not come close to living up to expectations. It's an alright book. The world that the book takes place in is fantastic - but that is the only reason I plan on finishing the trilogy. Some of the minor characters, such as Cinna and Haymitch, are also quite interesting. Unfortunately that wraps up what I like about the book.<br><br>The premise of the Games is an interesting idea, but <spoiler> the book just skims over those parts. It reads like a summary of the action with everything else devoted to Katniss's feelings and thoughts. Katniss is not a compelling character. She's the main character with all these amazing hunting skills, but she is just so stupid. Every social interaction goes completely over her head. That sort of character has potential if written well, but Katniss simply became aggravating. And Peeta wasn't much better, which made the whole being in love subplot unbearable. And by the end of the book, that subplot morphs into the main plot.</spoiler><br><br>The Hunger Games has a lot of potential, but having a book about <spoiler> human interaction starring two characters with apparently no experience with human interaction </spoiler> is a huge letdown. If it were not for the amazing setting and my curiosity about the world, I wouldn't have been able to finish the book. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss2.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_275924263" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275924263"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_275924263" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_275924263" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_275924263"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/MamaDuck535" target="_top">MamaDuck535</a> | Nov 27, 2024 | <a href="/review/275924263"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275915182" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/4979986" data-workid="4979986" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0439023483.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0439023483.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0439023483.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>I wouldn't say Hunger Games is my favorite, but it's still pretty good. One of the best dystopian books I've ever read, actually. I'm actually a little disappointed by the Katniss and Peeta pairing though, I was hoping for Gale. Other than that, it's storyline is intriguing and really makes you think about stuff that we do.<br><br>Another reason why this isn't my favorite, is that I dislike Suzanne Collins' writing style. Its really different from what I'm used to, and though I know we all should "keep our minds open" and all that, it just gave me this... this feeling that makes me dislike it.<br><br>One more thing, I might have actually preferred it more if they kept the graphics to the minimum. Not that I haven't read worse stuff, it just seems to be a little unnecessary. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_275915182" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275915182"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_275915182" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_275915182" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_275915182"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/koaytm" target="_top">koaytm</a> | Nov 27, 2024 | <a href="/review/275915182"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275911596" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/4979986" data-workid="4979986" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0439023483.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0439023483.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0439023483.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>"The Hunger Games" is about a young teenager named Katniss.

It's time someone reviewed the setting, specifically, mine.*<br><br>I take the book and head to my bed, attempting to worm my way in between the edge and my dog, who is grumpy and doesn't want to be disturbed. I'm left with about eighteen inches of blanket between him and the edge of the covers, so I draw a throw over the exposed parts and start reading. I soon find myself lost in imagining the hardscrabble life of District 12 and wondering if the 'meat-eaters' Katniss refers to outside the fence mean zombies. I hope so, but I'm doubtful, because otherwise the reviews would have mentioned zombies. Most reviewers don't just forget to mention something like that in a review if the book has them. Like vampires, they are hard to ignore. So she probably means cougars and such. Oh well. Still, note to self: look out for 'meat eaters.'<br><br>Katniss' has just the sort of self-reliance and composure I love to see in a character. I understand her anger at her mother, although I sigh a little at yet another female who has an Oedipus complex. I am glad that Prim is used to humanize her, even if it is a tried and true technique. I find myself interested in Buttercup, the antagonistic, ill-named cat. Still, my own canine Buttercup isn't budging, despite my attempts to gradually use my leg as a wedge to drive him further toward the middle of the bed. I'm getting colder, since the throw isn't compensating for the house cooling. Since it is late and I'm cold, I decide a hot bath would be just the setting for the next stage of the journey.<br><br>Alas, while the water is satisfactorily warm to start with, it never reaches the truly steaming temperature that is worth a prolonged soak. I try to read quickly. Leaving the District, headed toward the Capitol, and the wider world in this post-apocalypic setting is becoming clear, as well as Collins starting to detail revolutionary underpinnings. Still, it's subtle, and I rather like that in a book, especially a teen one. The city setting is unsurprising, although it seems like quite a tech contrast from the districts, and the connection Katniss develops with the understated stylist Cinna is warming. I wonder if he is supposed to be referencing a real-world designer? Except all the ones I've heard of seem quite flamboyant. I wonder if Collins is trying to say something about character in the city? It is here, immersed in rapidly cooling water that I wonder a bit if I'm reading too fast, because I find myself hitting more areas that I don't think Collins explained and I find it a little odd when Katniss suddenly drops these bits of knowledge for the reader. Except why does she seem clueless at times? But despite running more water, the bathwater isn't getting much warmer, so I can't be bothered to go back and re-read to see if I missed some subtle hint. I'm a little irritated from being chilled, so it's time to get out before I start picking further at the story.<br><br>Changed into pajamas, dogs sprawled on the bed but with a spare third left for me. I weasel my way under the covers and nudge a dog aside. The contestants have entered the arena, poised in their metal circles. The writing is done well enough to give a sense of place and yet pull action forward. The firewall unleashed by the gamemasters seems a bit unfair and reminds me of (insert any reality show here) but it reminds me I have a heating pad in the bed, so I turn it on to warm me up faster. The action in the arena is captivating, and is isn't until Katniss is hallucinating that I realize I am also experiencing a bit of double-vision. My new bookshelf arrived yesterday, and it didn't get more than a day to air out before I impatiently hauled it inside, spending a number of happy hours rearranging my books. Unfortunately, it had been so tightly wrapped that the stain hadn't really finished out-gassing, and I was starting to get headachey. As Katniss tried to recover, I decided timing was right for my own move. Besides, I knew she would survive--it's a trilogy. I turned on the ceiling fan and headed to the living room where there was a nice thick comforter and couch just waiting for me.<br><br>Wrapped up in the comforter, I prepared to finish the book. I liked the way Collins gradually brought about Katniss' political awakening. Using Rue was a particularly smart move that helped it feel organic with character and story. No zombies--I don't think, although that appears to be a question for another time. I certainly understand complaints about the nature of the games and how Collins wrote herself a number of <i>very</i> easy ways out of a truly ethically ambiguous situation, and I confess that goes against my story preference. I find myself agreeing with <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/11898426-jocelyn" rel="nofollow" target="_top">Jocelyn's</a> emphasis on the story as a fairy tale. Still, in that context, it was enjoyable and well-paced, if not riveting. <br><br>And, after all, I was finally warm, snug in the feather comforter with only hands and head exposed. <br><br>Three and a half warm stars.<br><br>Cross posted at <a href="http://clsiewert.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/the-hunger-games-by-suzanne-collins-or-a-myth-in-search-of-someplace-warm/" rel="nofollow" target="_top">http://clsiewert.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/the-hunger-games-by-suzanne-collins-or...</a><br><br>*Edit thoughtfully provide by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3920693-richard" rel="nofollow" target="_top">Richard</a>. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss6.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_275855445" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275855445"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_275855445" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_275855445" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_275855445"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/carol." target="_top">carol.</a> | Nov 25, 2024 | <a href="/review/275855445"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class='reviewnav'><div class="right"><strong><a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,3,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','4979986','',false, null, 'profile');return false;">date<span class="sortArrow"> ▼</span></a></strong> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,2,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','4979986','',false, null, 'profile'); return false;">votes</a></div>Showing 1-5 of 3416 (<a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',5,0,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','4979986','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">next</a> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,0,3,'wp_reviews',10000,'','4979986','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">show all</a>)</div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="workpagesort_53" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer" style="float: right;"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></span></div> <a name="publishedreviews"></a><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'mediareviews', 'u_db742a65', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Published reviews</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_db742a65" style="display:block;"><div id="mediareviews_container"><div id="mediareviews"><table class="sa_tools" id="u_c94f4ba5_link"><tr><td id="left">1 review</td><td id="center"><a href="#" onclick="LibraryThing.mediareviews.edit({'workid':'4979986'});return false;">add a review</a></td><td id="right"> thingScore <a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews"><span class="mre_score mre_score_default">unrated</span></a></td></tr></table><div class="bookReview" mr_id="11949" style="font-size:12px;"><span style="float: right; margin: 5px 0px 5px 6px;"><span id="rate-u_88e0a21a" title="0.0 Stars" aria-title="0.0 Stars" class="rating rating-style-2 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ></span></span><div id="brtext_11949" class="commentText">Het verhaal, vertaald uit het Engels, speelt zich af in de toekomst. Na een burgeroorlog is van Noord-Amerika het land Panem overgebleven, bestaande uit het welvarende Capitool met twaalf daaraan ondergeschikte districten, waarin veel armoede en onvrijheid heersen. In de jaarlijkse Hongerspelen moeten 24 kinderen, uit elk district een jongen en een meisje, strijden op leven en dood in een ‘Big Brother’-omgeving. Katniss Everdeen (16, ik-figuur) uit het 12e, armoedigste district springt in de bres voor haar jongere zusje Prim wanneer deze wordt uitgeloot. Na een wat aarzelend begin krijgt het verhaal vaart in het tweede en derde deel. Het thema is gedurfd: een strijd op leven en dood tussen twaalf- en achttienjarigen, als vorm van vermaak. Wie is de slimste overlever? De auteur creëert een eigen begrippenkader dat zijdelings doet denken aan Harry Potter. Ze combineert overlevingstechnieken uit de traditie van Jean Auels prehistorische romans met ultramoderne technologie. Het slot lijkt voorspelbaar, maar is dat niet. Spanning, romantiek en het open einde maken de lezer nieuwsgierig naar het volgende boek in deze serie, 'De Hongerspelen II: vlammen'*.</div><div class="commentFooter" style="clear: right;"><span
