review 1: Lois H. Gresh, The Hunger Games Companion"Interesting analysis of THG's real life background"This book did an incredible job linking aspects of the Hunger Games series to associated real-life phenomena.The author focused on getting into the historical context of various elements of the series, from ancient history to recent history, a lot of real-life analogies. The book came out before the 1st movie so couldn't comment about the film adaptations in particular.The book was light on fan theories about the events of the series themselves, and what was mentioned seemed pretty reasonable. However, some people may have wanted a more direct focus.It was reasonably intellectual without descending into academic gobbeldygook.
review 2: What I love about this book is it ... moreanalyzes The Hunger Games very well and there is critical thinking to it. There are many parts that would make you go "ooohhh, she has a point". The author goes beyond what we usually read and analyzes them well. But sometimes, the analysis is too much or goes too deep that they become too technical in explaining some stuffs. Other than that, it was a good read and I liked the book. If you are looking for an analysis of "The Hunger Games" trilogy, then this is one book that you should read.:) less
