you're want to buy Starred Review. Reviewed by Megan Whalen Turner
If there really are only seven original plots inside the world, it's odd that boy meets girl is usually mentioned, and society goes bad and attacks the great guy never is. Yet we've got Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, Your House in the Scorpion—and now, following an extended tradition of Brave New Worlds, The Hunger Games. Collins hasn't tied her future with a specific date, or weighted it down with an excessive amount of finger wagging. Rather less 1984 and rather more Death Race 2000, hers can be a gripping story set in a very postapocalyptic world where a replacement for your United States demands a tribute from each of the territories: two children being used as gladiators inside a televised fight to the death.Katniss, from that which was once Appalachia, offers to adopt the host to her sister inside Hunger Games, but after this ultimate sacrifice, she actually is entirely focused on survival at any cost. It is her teammate, Peeta, who recognizes the value of holding onto 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 gets the attributes to be a winner, where Peeta has the grace to get an excellent 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. Their State of Panem—which needs to 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 by 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, it can make this the proper book in the right time. What happens if we choose entertainment over humanity? In Collins's world, we'll be obsessed with grooming, we'll talk funny, and all sorts of our sentences will end with all the same rise as questions. When Katniss is shipped to stylists to get made more telegenic before she competes, she stands naked looking at them, strangely unembarrassed. They're so unlike people that I'm forget about self-conscious than if a trio of oddly colored birds were pecking around my feet, she thinks. In order to never hate these creatures who are sending her to her death, she imagines them as pets. It isn't the contestants who risk the loss of their humanity. It is who watch. Katniss struggles to win not merely the Games nevertheless the inherent contest for audience approval. Because this really is the first book inside a series, not it is all totally resolved, and what's left unanswered will be the central question. Has she sacrificed too much? We know what she's got given around survive, however, not if the price was too high. Readers will wait eagerly to understand more.
Megan Whalen Turner may be the author of the Newbery Honor book The Thief and its sequels, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia. The subsequent book inside series will be published by Greenwillow in 2010.
