The Hunger Games: Special Edition

by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games: Special Edition - Thryft
The Hunger Games: Special Edition - Thryft

Survival of the fittest in dystopian world.

The Hunger Games could be a good read for fans of dystopian fiction who enjoy intense action and political commentary. The unique and distinctive feature of this book is the way it blends a brutal, high-stakes battle for survival with a scathing critique of government oppression. Fans would likely appreciate the complex, well-drawn characters as well as the twisty, fast-paced plot.

Description

This Special Edition of The Hunger Games includes the most extensive interview Suzanne Collins has given since the publication of The Hunger Games, featuring an absorbing behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series; an engaging archival conversation between Suzanne Collins and YA legend Walter Dean Myers on writing about war; and a timeline of highlights from the first ten years of The Hunger Games. The Special Edition answers many questions fans have had over the years, and gives great insight into the creation of this era-defining work. In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
