review 1: Some of the essays in this were more interesting than others, though most of them have a fascinating take on the different themes of the Hunger Games trilogoy. I had the same problem finishing this book as I do with most short story collections: without a unifying theme or plot pulling me forward in the narrative, I have a difficult time finding the impetus to get to the end. Each essay stands on its own, and it was only the desire to be able to legitimately add this to my "read" list that forced me to finish it.
review 2: I have perhaps never felt like more of a book nerd than when I checked this out from the library after I happened upon the title. I figured, if my mind's going to be thinking about the Hunger Games trilogy anyway, I might as well give it som... moree new ideas to throw around- like the similarities between Katniss and Buttercup. The essay on how memories work was very interesting, and I'm now much more suspicious of the media than I was before, quite disgusted with the surplus of food I have access to, and intrigued to try Katniss's way of coping with moments of terror and pain: "make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've ever seen someone do." less
