Miller, Laura (June 14, 2010). "Fresh Hell: What's behind the boom in dystopian fiction for young readers?". The New Yorker . Retrieved September 3, 2012. The writer seems to have immersed herself in her fictional world just as much as a high school student would in a tedious, boring homework. Either that, or she is simply unable to focus her thoughts and make the readers actually see through her eyes. The descriptions are dry, the people and the world around them are colorless. It actually feels to me like the story has been censored and stripped down to the bone in an attempt to make it appropriate for as wide an audience as possible.

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. By the time the film adaptation of The Hunger Games was released in 2012, the publisher had reported over 26 million Hunger Games trilogy books in print, including movie tie-in books. The Hunger Games universe is a dystopia set in Panem, a North American country consisting of the wealthy Capitol and 12 districts in varying states of poverty. Every year, children from the districts are selected via lottery to participate in a compulsory televised battle royale death match called The Hunger Games. ...

Not since Harry Potter, which I first read as an adult-in my early twenties, had I been so enamored in a book world. My realities blurring in that fantastical way only true readers understand. It has been a long time since I read fiction and I read quite slowly and take only a little time each day for reading. So, my husband suggested this series to me. And now here is my take on all three books. 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. If you have not read the books or watched the movies, beware of spoilers! Has anyone ever finished reading a book/series and just sat there for a while like, "what did this author just do to me?" 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:

Blasingame, James. "The Hunger Games." Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, vol. 52, no. 8, 2009, p. 724+. Academic OneFile, Accessed 6 Dec. 2016. And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread."Tutti probabilmente conoscono questo nome in vari modi: dai libri, dai film e, per quella piccola minoranza, anche grazie al film parodia. I gave this 3 stars because I did enjoy the story, the writing was skillful and the author was very mindful in developing her characters and their environment. I totally felt myself plunked down into District 12 and felt Mrs. Everdeen's pain, Haymitch's wasted life, the superiority of the Capitol, Katniss's bitterness at having lost her dad and having to be the sole support for her family. That whole scene where Peeta threw her a loaf of bread while she was foraging in the trash, in the rain, oh my god, the pathos...

This is THE otp. It's obvious. No explanation needed. They're just shamelessly perfect for each other.

It is not always cheap, but it is always necessary with this trilogy. Los tres libros giran en lo que sucede con Katniss, una niña que toma el lugar de su hermana chica y compite. Es un poco como Harry Potter, una persona normal que no quiere la fama que recibe, pero que le hace frente, y es que cuando vence (spoiler) van cambiando las cosas y se acerca la revolución, y creo que es todo lo que puedo contar si no quiero aguar la fiesta literaria a los que vengan después de mí.
