Review

Praise for THE HUNGER GAMES

“I couldn't stop reading." --Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly

“The Hunger Games is amazing.” --Stephenie Meyer

“Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced.” --John Green, The New York Times Book Review

Praise for CATCHING FIRE

“Whereas Katniss kills with finesse, Collins writes with raw power." --Time Magazine

“Collins expertly blends fantasy, romance and political intrigue." --People Magazine

Praise for MOCKINGJAY

“Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay is every bit as complex and imaginative as Hunger Games and Catching Fire." --Entertainment Weekly

“Suspenseful... Collins' fans, grown-ups included, will race to the end." --USA Today

“At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984, the memorable violence of A Clockwork Orange, the imaginative ambience of The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness of Harry Potter." --New York Times Book Review

“Unfolding in Collins' engaging, intelligent prose and assembled into chapters that end with didn't-see-that-coming cliffhangers, this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears. [Mockingjay] is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit as original and thought provoking, as The Hunger Games. Wow." --Los Angeles Times

* “This concluding volume in Collins's Hunger Games trilogy accomplishes a rare feat, the last installment being the best yet, a beautifully orchestrated and intelligent novel that succeeds on every level." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

Finding A Flawed, Relatable Heroine and Her Hero

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

My long ago 9th grader classical history students alerted me to this trilogy during a discussion on the Minotaur. I asked if anyone knew what a "tribute" was and every hand shot up. We had a sidebar on the Hunger Games. As soon as class was dismissed, I ordered my Kindle copy.

I immediately understood Katniss: the mindset to survive unthinkable tragedy, to distrust as first reflex, to protect others, to wrap oneself in emotional distance - yep I got that. Refusal to be a game piece, to surrender myself, That she was in her teens and I in my 40's mattered not a whit. Still, many years later, Katniss and I amble through a reunion - a literary walkabout is still a fresh experience. This is unusual for me. (The films, though entertaining and generally well done, can't compete with the story in my head. Though I confess the idea of drinking fruit juices recommended by s Donald Sutherland voiceover can give me chills.)

Peeta's deep love for Katniss and her misunderstanding of it in so many ways - especially feeling unworthy of it - I also understand. I am fortunate to have married my Peeta. He may not have Collins' character 's gift for the right words, I know he loves me always.

The other marvelous folks who populate the books are an odd sort of family now. Reading their collective story never gets old. And they always remind me to be my fierce though flawed, self and never be a piece in anyone's games.

Required Reading For All Politicians And Military

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is, of course, written from the viewpoint of a young woman, but the lessons she learns, and the lessons she can not un-learn are, in our real world, critical for us to know, understand and never forget.

We as a species stand on the knife edge of our continued existence. We are not struggling in some post apocalyptic state, yet. However we are trying our damnedest to get there.

Our evolutionary heritage as a top predator has become our current evolutionary excess baggage.

Additionally the way our minds were constructed by natural selection to allow us to become a social species is a disaster when we consider how they allow us to be manipulated by fake, made up, and pure crap ideas that are just yelled loudly at us from sources that we do not, and can not question based on how we evolved to form social groups.

We must understand this if we are to persist as a species.

Our big brains do know how to self train to engage in contemplative scientific thought.

To the extent we require ourselves to exercise our big brains in this manner with a view toward curbing our evolutionary heritage that is preventing us from being sustainable: We will succeed.

To the extent we do not or can not: We will not persist.

A great series that got me thinking with fast pace and memorable characters

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

The Hunger Games trilogy is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen that at her core, is struggling to survive in her dystopian world built on top of an apocalypse that occurred an unknown time before the story, wanting to protect those close to her. Already stoic and somewhat emotionally detached coming in, she’s put in the ringer, starting when she subs in for her sister Prim to participate in The Hunger Games, a live TV event where children are forced to kill each other until only one remains.

The books themselves are all fast paced with great twists and cliffhangers at just about every chapter to get you to read more. For the most part, I was pulled into the story, outside of some parts of Mockingjay where I felt the story dragged in parts, mostly the second third. The characters are fleshed out, and while some characters don’t get a lot of story time, you feel for most of them and I was stunned by quite a few of the deaths (there’s a lot of this in the series). Katniss herself was a great character that fit her story. She struggles with herself and the story isn’t afraid to delve into the darkness within her, especially as we get later in the series. Despite all this, she persists to protect what she loves and has the wits, knowledge and physical strength to last through her trials. The country of Panem is fleshed out well throughout, and while it’s obvious from the first chapter how depraved it is, we see how dystopian this world is as the series moves on. It doesn’t bog down on a bunch of backstory more than what’s needed on the story. I loved the themes and questions the story trotted out, which got me to think a lot about the world and humanity. While there’s a love/hate towards the love triangle aspect in fandom, I thought it was not bad and didn’t distract from the plot as much as I thought, but I disagreed with some aspects and thought to an extent unneeded. I suspect it’s here partly due to the success of Twilight and it’s love triangle. Without giving too much away, I liked the way the series ended and I felt satisfied.

The quality of the box set is great, no issues with the book quality themselves; all sturdy and I love the black with the color text that accompanies each book (yellow, red, blue). The covers are a bit different than the original USA hardcovers, as I presume it’s based on the UK covers, but they all have the uniform style expected in a package like this one. I do have a bit of a struggle of jarring a book out when all three are in the box, but shifting the box gets them out without much of a problem. I recommend this set as a great way to dive into this landmark YA series.

Note: I gave this a five based on an average score of the books, which I gave detailed reviews of each elsewhere. I gave “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire” 5/5 and “Mockingjay” 4/5.

They're books, what more is there to say?

Good quality books and case thingy.
I watched the films (on release) and, initially, enjoyed them. Then read these books and watched the films again. The books are much better than the films. The films are actually quite poor in comparison.
The story is, in general, quite good. Katniss gets a bit annoying towards the end because she never seems to grow out of her 'whiny teen' stage despite all the things she goes through, you'd think she'd grow up a bit but nevermind.
The prequel story/film should be interesting...

First two books were excellent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books of the trilogy, well written, good plot, but I think it should have stopped there. I really had to force myself to keep reading the third book, it was really heavy going.
It seemed as though the author had lost interest in her characters, I know I did!
It would have got five stars if it had stopped at book 2.

Better than the films!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Usually people would read the books before the films, I however had the pleasure of watching the films first, which set expectations of how I thought the book was going to be. Luckily those expectations were concluded with satisfactory on a whole for both the film and the books as they had their own superiority, definitely worth trying and arrives extremely quickly!

Wow!... better late than never...

I cannot remember exactly who first drew my attention to "the Hunger Games".... some friend I think it may be when the first film came out??... anyway, I poo-pah-ed it.... based on no more than it "seeming" to be some teen-flick romance type film...probably not my "cup-of-tea"
... and then i watched the film for the first time a week ago.... and was blown away!.... Im not even sure exactly why?... so, encouraged, I watched Catching Fire.... now Im fully gripped, drawn in and cannot wait to see the next installment.
...and now to the book.... do I need to read it??.... well, I "kindled" the trilogy and have just finished reading the first book...oh wow, what a truly brilliant story (despite having watched the film(s).... I have never read a story that has been written fully from the perspective of the lead character...its quite intriguing, its riveting, its extrodinarily beautiful.... I love it.
All I am really trying to say here that MAY be useful to anyone is regardless of watching films, do try to read the books...ok, I havnt hit the last two books yet but somehow... i know.. I wont be disappointed.
"May the odds be forever in your favour....." >:)

Better, by far, than Harry Potter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

As a woman "of a certain age" I know that this book is not aimed at me as the target audience, but what a read! Set in a post apocalyptic America where 12 districts are ruled by "the Capitol"which, as punishment for a long ago rebellion, demands 2 children from each district every year as "tribute" to fight to the death in gladiatorial combat. We follow the events through the eyes of one such "tribute" but this novel is not just about fighting or survival, it is about love & loss & subversion & rebellion & everything else in between.
It is impossible to discuss the plot without spoiling it for those yet to read this trilogy however I was caught up in the story & found it truly emotional. Comparisons with "Lord of the Flies" are inevitable &, although it is years since I read it , I can see similarities. However I also see the influence of other writers & of others concepts & mythologies. Again it is impossible to discuss the complexities of the themes without ruining the plot for others. But do not be put off by my use of the word "complexities"; these 3 books are not a difficult read & will keep your interest all the way to the end. Read it simply as a novel, or set of novels, & you will not be disappointed but I would have loved to have these books as set reading for analysis in a literature class; they would stand up remarkably well.
As I said, I know that I am not the target demographic for these novels but, like the Harry Potter novels, they are likely to transcend the generations. I read all the Potter novels & found them entertaining enough, if a little dull at times & taking an awfully long time to get to the inevitable conclusion. These novels are never dull & the conclusion is anything but inevitable. They should make the reader think far more than a Harry Potter novel & are all the better for that.
