Description

This Special Edition of The Hunger Games includes the most extensive interview Suzanne Collins has given since the publication of The Hunger Games; an absorbing behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series; and an engaging archival conversation between Suzanne Collins and YA legend Walter Dean Myers on writing about war. 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 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 death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Still, if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

    This book is AMAZING! Probably one of my favorite books of all time! This book has you on your toes the whole way. I couldn’t put the book down! All of my favorite characters died (except for katniss and gale) Rue,Thresh,and fox face. Ok this is my opinion but Peeta is getting so much love when literally Gale has been with Katniss her entire life! Like ummm… Yet still amazing book I love it so much and I recommend it to pretty much everyone!
  • Amazing!!! Couldn’t put it down

    The hunger games is a suspenseful, interesting, beautiful book. I read it in 3 days!!! It’s one of those books the whole time your thinking “this is so unfair!” But there’s nothing the reader can do except hope the characters will change it. Kids are forced to fight to the death in a horrible arena. My fav character is rue I’m not gonna spoil anything but I love rue!!!! Peeta is soooo annoying!!!!!! This book is kinda bloody so I’d recommend ages 12-17 or something like that. Also the book ends on an off note and it’ll make you want to get the second one so make sure you have a way to get the second one as well (i haven’t read the second one so I’m not recommending it) I you like this book read the giver!!!! It’s the best book in the world and it has similar themes to this book!!!! Great book get it you won’t be sorry!

    I really did love this book and thought the concept and world building were excellent. The only issue I found is that the first third dragged quite a bit for me personally.
  • SO GOOD

    Aspen stared bleakly out of the train as trees and bushes blurred by. As much as she hated it her and her brother, Egret, has been picked this year. “Aspen!” Egret called. “Look! They’ve got DONUTS.” He basically sprinted over to her and shoved one in her face. “Egret, I do it care. Go find Raymond or Devia.” She snapped. That’s when a thick southern accent came from the speakers. “Oh dah-lines! Time to meet your opponentz!” That’s when 22 people entered their cart. Lady ProngHorn followed. “From district 1, Aspen and Egret.” Clapping. “District 2, Raini and Sage,” More clapping. “District 3, Leo and Thria, District 4, Amia and Clover,” and so on. It was boring and Aspen fell asleep at district four. In her dream she dreamt of Egret being stabbed in the stomach like a Kabob by Leo. Then stabbed twice in the head. What did this dream mean? Tell me if it’s good. I might continue it. Also descriptions. Name: Aspen May Allflower Appearance: Aspen is a short white girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a long scar on her claf and her eye brow. Family: Mom: Wearia Doe Allflower Dad: Josh Kelce Allflower Brother: Egret Weasel Allflower Hobbies: Hunting, reading, and running Name: Egret Weasel Allflower Appearance: a tall white boy with dark curly hair and green eyes. A light scar on his lip Family: Mom: Wearia Doe Allflower Dad: Josh Kelce Allflower Sister: Aspen May Allflower Hobbies: art, climbing, and sleeping. Anyone got any ideas for more characters? I might add them in if I like them. Also don’t hate on me for this lol bye ✌🏼 Signing out -Aspen of District 1 -IcePaw of ShadeClan -Fall of the IceWings
