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

Grade 7 Up -In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to get replaced by Panem, a country divided to the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to be involved in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation from the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem since the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, wonderful citizens necessary to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to consider her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son in the town baker who seems to possess all the fighting skills of your lump of bread dough, will probably be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who've trained for this their whole lives. Collins's characters are completely realistic and sympathetic while they form alliances and friendships inside face of overwhelming odds; the plot is tense, dramatic, and engrossing. This book will certainly resonate with 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
