Starred Review. Reviewed by Megan Whalen Turner
If there really are merely seven original plots in the world, it's odd that boy meets girl is definitely mentioned, and society goes bad and attacks the good guy never is. Yet we've got Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, The Home in the Scorpion—and now, following a good tradition of Brave New Worlds, The Hunger Games. Collins hasn't tied her future to your specific date, or weighted it down with an excessive amount of finger wagging. Rather less 1984 and rather more Death Race 2000, hers is really a gripping story set in the postapocalyptic world in which a replacement for that Usa demands a tribute from each of their territories: two children being used as gladiators in a televised fight for the death.Katniss, from what was once Appalachia, offers to look at the host to her sister inside Hunger Games, but after this ultimate sacrifice, she actually is entirely centered on survival at any cost. It is her teammate, Peeta, who recognizes the significance of holding to one's humanity in such inhuman circumstances. It's a credit to Collins's skill at characterization that Katniss, like a fresh Theseus, is cold, calculating whilst still being likable. She has got the attributes being a winner, where Peeta has got the grace being a good loser.It's no accident these games are presented as pop culture. Every generation projects its fear: runaway science, communism, overpopulation, nuclear wars and, now, reality TV. Their State of Panem—which needs to help keep its tributaries subdued and it is citizens complacent—may have came up with Games, but mindless television will be the real danger, the means in which society pacifies its citizens and punishes people who neglect to conform. Will its connection to reality TV, ubiquitous today, date the book? It might, but for now, celebrate this the best book with the right time. What happens as we choose entertainment over humanity? In Collins's world, we'll be obsessive about grooming, we'll talk funny, and all our sentences can easily with the same rise as questions. When Katniss is distributed to stylists to get made more telegenic before she competes, she stands naked in front of them, strangely unembarrassed. They're so unlike people that we are no more self-conscious than if a trio of oddly colored birds were pecking around my feet, she thinks. In order not to hate these creatures who are sending her to her death, she imagines them as pets. It is not only the contestants who risk the loss with their humanity. It is all who watch. Katniss struggles to win not exactly the Games nevertheless the inherent contest for audience approval. Because that is the first book in a very series, not it is all totally resolved, and what is left unanswered could be the central question. Has she sacrificed too much? We determine what she gets given as much as survive, although not whether the price was too high. Readers will wait eagerly to learn more.
Megan Whalen Turner will be the author from the Newbery Honor book The Thief and its sequels, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia. The next book within the series is going to be published by Greenwillow in 2010.

Grade 7 Up -In a not-too-distant future, the Usa of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided in to the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation with the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem because the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all of citizens necessary to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected because the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to adopt her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son with the town baker who seems to own every among the fighting skills of the lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained because of this their whole lives. Collins's characters are completely realistic and sympathetic as they form alliances and friendships in the face of overwhelming odds; the plot is tense, dramatic, and engrossing. This book will surely resonate using the generation raised on reality shows like 'Survivor' and 'American Gladiator.' Book certainly one of a planned trilogy.Jane Henriksen Baird, Anchorage Public Library, AK
