Ireland's hopes for freedom are dashed with the arrival of a deadly potato blight that strikes terror in the heart of its people. Calta, Alex. "The Hunger Games: Class, Politics, and Marketing". American University . Retrieved April 27, 2023. WOW! What an impact this book has, it’s a harrowing and emotional read. This one will stay with me for some time. But yes, as an adult, I do indeed and well understand that the main "protagonist" that the very hungry caterpillar is never in any manner textually and narratively developed as a character, that he remains rather flat and one-dimensional throughout, and that he also consumes mostly food products that are not even remotely suitable for caterpillars (as they basically consume mostly leaves). However, I also and absolutely know and realise for a fact that when I was three years old (and had Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt repeatedly read to me), whether the list of foods the caterpillar was eating was suitable and acceptable for butterfly larvae or not did not matter all that much to me (if at all), and that for the intended audience, both the text and the accompanying images of The Very Hungry Caterpillar are generally pure unadulterated joy, magic, and perhaps even perfection, with the final illustration, the beautiful and intensely coloured butterfly into which the erstwhile very hungry caterpillar morphs, being the ultimate icing on an already most delicious cake (and no food based pun is intended with this here allusion either).

The Hungry Road by Marita Conlon-McKenna | Goodreads

There are some books I’m just not smart enough to read but, darnit, I challenged myself and I finally made it through The Very Hungry Caterpillar (after several false starts)! I’m not gonna flatter myself that I unnerstood the depth of the ideas, themes and junk in it, but I liked the colours and pitchers and stuff… But Thalia keeps thinking about food and she likes to wander around looking for things from our other time. She goes to the Outer Loop and ends up meeting a boy in one of the abandoned buildings. This boy is named Basil and he's with the resistance group, Analogs. They are looking for ways to make the planet self sustaining again. This book sounds ridiculous. I'm not sure if I'm just adding it because I'm pretty damn hungry right now. The only other thing this book did was make me want to eat, mostly apples because they talk about them a good bit in the book. lol.

J.C. Maçek III of PopMatters stated, "While the film saga does capture the action of The Hunger Games, the novels are most assuredly the heart of the story. They are nothing less than 'The Writer’s Cut' of the films themselves." [36] In his review Mike Ruiz argues that The Hunger Games film does not have the first-person narrative that is in the original novel. As a result, Ruiz contends the novel is better than the film.
