Hunger Games Trilogy (Box set)

Product Information

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. The first two books in the series were both New York Times best sellers, and Mockingjay topped all US bestseller lists upon its release. Facing greater challenges, alliances, and betrayals, Katniss must confront her role as the Mockingjay, the symbol of rebellion, and decide whether to embrace her destiny or succumb to the Capitol's control.

Note:If you are looking for a series filled with physical romance, this is not that book, though it does have its moments. As good as the plot, the writing and everything else is, the protagonist Katniss, outshines them all effortlessly. While Sanderson creates an intriguing multifaceted world, masterfully picks at the organized chaos of the human mind and portrays the struggle of a girl powerful enough to make decisions (even wrong ones) and change herself as well as the world around her on her journey, Collins just ends up botching the job and presenting little more than a tiresome, judgmental, self-absorbed diary of a bitterly crude personality.

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). I will go through each book, present its storyline and what I felt about each book and conclude with my opinion on the entire series. Katniss starts to become more of a thinker and an icon, and Peeta is a strategist who later has to wrestle with psychological indoctrination.

Through Katniss's perspective, we witness her struggle for survival, her acts of defiance, and her emergence as a symbol of hope for the oppressed districts. Collins realizes that her hero is just a little too cold and too distant and so she must find a way to get the reader to sympathize with her.Visit the shockingly real world of Panem and revel in the stakes and spectacle of Suzanne Collins's masterpiece series in a deluxe illustrated edition. The final book, Mockingjay, follows Katniss as she joins the rebellion and becomes a key figure in the fight against the Capitol. The trilogy's strong themes and powerful messages make it a must-read for young adults and fans of dystopian fiction. As a reader, we pick up that this is massively significant (because she beats us over the head with it), but since Katniss in the present she's narrating doesn't realize that, there's no reason for her to continue to point it out.

Instead of the characters and plot being the focus, they are merely vessels for exploring the presented themes.

In New York City, you’re much more likely to fall down a manhole than a rabbit hole and, if you do, you’re not going to find a tea party. As a brutal reminder of its authority, the Capitol organizes the Hunger Games, an annual event where two tributes, a boy and a girl, from each district, must fight to the death. 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.

years I have invested and I'm not sure what this says or means for me now, other than my evenings meanderings. As Katniss becomes the reluctant face of the rebellion, she witnesses the devastating consequences of war and the toll it takes on her friends and loved ones. I cannot possibly name all the characters and my opinions of them in this review, but they all have some sort of impact on you and your own opinion of reading this trilogy. Out of sheer love and fear for Prim’s life, Katniss volunteers as the girl tribute in place of her Prim. Set 64 years before the events of The Hunger Games, the prequel follows the story of a young Coriolanus Snow, who later becomes the main antagonist of the original trilogy.

The first book, The Hunger Games, introduces readers to the world of Panem, a nation divided into twelve districts and ruled by the Capitol. Societies are split into 12 zones each responsible for delivering key societal needs such as coal, food, military etc. The attempt to give her flaws that are supposed to make her human and bring her to life in our minds stops short, instead only managing to make her insufferable, willfully stupid and in possession of just as much female intuition as a weightlifter on steroids. Direi di cominciare parlando della trama: ci troviamo in una Nord America non più tale, distopica che dopo una serie di crisi ambientali e economiche si è deciso di instaurare un sistema politico a distretti con Capitol City come diciamo città fulcro, ogni distretto, 13, si occupa di un particolare settore: pesca, agricoltura e così via e ogni distretto doveva rifornire Capitol City in cui si ha una vita paradisiaca mentre nei distretti non così tanto.
