Review: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

!: Review: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I began this particular journey with nothing special in mind. I've heard about The Hunger Games. While browsing Barnes and Noble and Borders, I've seen the book on the shelf sitting next to "Waiting for Superman" in the best seller aisle. I've wanted to read it. But I never got around to it.

Then I started hearing more and more. No special details, just little blurbs here and there saying how great the book is. How excellently written this book was. How amazing this book was. But no special details were ever spoken. And I can understand why now.

I recently received a copy in the mail. Yay! A new book for me to read! This finally gave me the motivation to read through The Hunger Games. And I am glad I did. As of now, I am anxiously awaiting the other two books so I may finish the series.

The Hunger Games is set in the distant future after America goes berserk. What follows is a corrupt and controlling government surrounded by 13 districts. An uprising occurs and a civil war breaks out. The capitol and controlling government wins, wiping out district 13 in the process. As a reminder to the remaining 12, the Capitol holds the The Hunger Games.

I'm not going to give any more of the story than that. Even that may be a bit much. But it's only a small piece of background information that doesn't hold much to the story other then why it exists. Ultimately why the Hunger Games exist, what they are, and how they are held is what is important.

I fear writing any more of the story, giving small details and information, because I don't want to ruin the shock value. The author, Suzanne Collins, Paints a picture that is so utterly shocking and unthinkable. The brutality and nature of the The Hunger Games supersedes only the viciousness of what the Roman Empire was once capable of. The imagery, details, and ideas of this novel paint a graphic and grim time.

The first pages will leave a person depressed. Never could I, myself, imagine the hardships of the main character. And then it only gets worse. I feel sad for the day that our society may ever reach this point.

Suzanne Collins writing style is very first person. It's as blunt as a brick to the forehead. This kind of perspective is a little strong for my taste. But after reading the novel I can't see any other way of having it done. The strong first person perspective portrays the emotion of the main character perfectly. The read receives an absolute sense of her strength, hatred, worry, terror, love, and confusion. There is a strong disconnect portrayed between the main character, her followers, and the Capitol. And through the eyes of her, you get a sense of how desensitized the population of the Capitol is, and how lonely and dread-filled the remaining 12 districts are.

The Hunger Games is a book that provokes strong and confusing emotions. You want the main character to succeed and to win. But at the same time, the acts she MUST commit are so very horrible and repulsive. You begin to feel the love and passion, the hatred and terror she feels. And the plot line will leave you riveting for more. Throughout the pages you'll be left wondering how something so horrible as the Hunger Games can exist, yet you won't be able to stop reading.

I make the details of book out to be perceived as horrible book. Yes, the content and plot line is unthinkable. But the book is amazing. The strong first person perspective does its job precisely and exact. The author has provided an incredible story that conveys more than a little amusement. I found it extremely difficult to put down this book. After reading, I came to find out that a movie is being produced from the book. I could only think, "How on earth this is even possible?" I am curious to see the movie. And after you read the book you will understand. I do recommend this novel. It's amazing and worth every penny.

Mockingjay Book Review (Hunger Series Games)

Mockingjay is to take the third and final installment of the trilogy Games Hunger Games by hunger and fire. If you have not read these books, I recommend them. They are not uplifting, humorous, or read a good light, but still.

At the beginning of Mockingjay Katniss is in the hands of the rebels in District 13, while Peet is in the hands of capital, the president of snow. The rebels want their Katniss be a symbol of hope, their "leader" in a sort of propagandaWay. When people see them, they will want to fight. Where Katniss goes, a TV crew is right along their side and are able to penetrate the system of capital and his show on TV around the different districts and capital in the hope of fomenting the revolt. Like Katniss character is not a good actress - but what it does is because of their own decisions and instincts. She is a fighter, he feels sadness and pain, and feels confused. The capital Port Peet on TVBegging Katniss and that the rebels do not start a war - which has killed many people and no one will be left behind. He asks them to stop, but Katniss does what he thinks is right. The war is inevitable - the neighborhoods are tired of this, under the control of the capital, but the new rebel government what they need?

Hunger Games

The story itself is rather dark and dreary - it is a book of war. People die, you get frustrated with the rebels, lit up other victims of hunger in the game, and confused bywhat is right. Katniss the character is not perfect, but what is human? Doing things in this book do you solve? Yes Is there a happy ending after book? No. How can that be? Katniss had to kill people after their friends killed, the capital of poisoning the minds of their friends, play with your head, the loss of their home, etc.? What kind of person you want to be, after the experience of this?

“It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be born.” 

First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear—of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.

As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he’s done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project that has triggered apocalypse. He is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her captors. But for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey—spanning miles and decades—towards the time and place where she must finish what should never have begun.

With The Passage, award-winning author Justin Cronin has written both a relentlessly suspenseful adventure and an epic chronicle of human endurance in the face of unprecedented catastrophe and unimaginable danger. Its inventive storytelling, masterful prose, and depth of human insight mark it as a crucial and transcendent work of modern fiction.

!1: Best Buy I took a road trip down the west coast from Seattle to San Francisco and needed something to pass the time. I settled on Justin Cronin's The Passage. It is a rare feeling to read a book that is 766 pages long and after a quarter of the way into it, find myself wishing that it was much longer. Thankfully this is book one of a trilogy, and if The Passage is any indication of what's to come then the future, for this particular fantasy, looks bright.

The Passage is a large scale adventure epic that is so ambitious it spans over one thousand years and portrays a future where humanity has been whittled away to a few scattered colonies that are forced to exist under a veil of unending light in order to keep the ravenous, blood thirsty, virals who have taken over North America at bay.

Justin Cronin has created a world that is part The Stand, part The Road Warrior and part Dawn of the Dead. He uses a literary prose to place the reader into the heart of the action and keep them there until the final conclusion that, although predictable at times, nevertheless, leaves the reader satisfied and hungry for more.

To be critical, Cronin sometimes packs the second and third acts full of characters that, although are interesting and crucial to the plot, tend to suffer from a lack of development. He likes to tease the reader with appealing background stories only to dispose of the character in the next few chapters. A couple of times he even pulls the old fake death trick (killing a person off in one chapter only to bring them back in the next). It leaves the reader feeling exasperated and runs the risk of giving the text a kind of soap opera element to it.

Overall, however, The Passage delivers. It is fast paced, well written and extremely ambitious. Justin Cronin has created a man made, mythical future where humankind is no longer at the top of the food chain. Where the fate of the world rests in the hands of a mysterious little girl who doesn't age and everything that has occurred is being reviewed over one thousand years into the future by some mysterious global agency. The Passage is a fun ride that keeps the pages turning, from its gripping opening scene to its satisfying climax. Trust me, the moment you open the book you'll forget about its 766 page length.
