I could not care for any of the characters, who were a thoroughly unpleasant bunch for the most part, the lead characters lacking in credibility and real motivation; the good supporting characters few and far apart and always boringly bland and destined to die, the bad ones tirelessly verminous, either violent propagators of pain or uninterestingly, obliviously selfish. Dunque in sintesi come tributi del 12 abbiamo: Katniss Everdeen, la cacciatrice e Peeta Mellark, il panettiere (come assortimento, poteva capitarci di molto peggio), comunque, I nostri prescelti prima della sfida si ritroveranno sotto l'ala protettiva di Haymitch, loro mentore, ovvero l'unico vincitore del 12, per descrivervi Haymitch vi dico questo: prendete la parte da alcolizzato di Rick Sanchez, moltiplicata per circa 0.

Instead of the characters and plot being the focus, they are merely vessels for exploring the presented themes. The Hunger Games is a trilogy of young adult dystopian novels written by American novelist Suzanne Collins. Book Three, on it's own, was another, third, but weakest spin on the same film, as Collins was so intent on delivering to readers what they wanted instead of providing a way to utilize all of these smart characters, all who were part of a revolution, and all who could have reasonably come together to a brilliant but bloodless takeover.The stunning action sequences and the cleverness of concept and execution give this a haunting philosophical complexity. It's beyond me how some women actually see Katniss as a role model - unless your ideal woman is a self-centered, conceited, ungrateful, narrow-minded, sniveling, responsibility-avoiding huntress who never comes to terms with her own survival instinct.

In Stephen King's review for Entertainment Weekly, he compared it to "shoot-it-if-it-moves videogames in the lobby of the local eightplex; you know it's not real, but you keep plugging in quarters anyway. The screenplay remains extremely faithful to the original novel, [60] with Ross saying he "felt the only way to make the film really successful was to be totally subjective" in its presentation of events, echoing Collins' use of first person present in the novel. For this reason, I lower what would have been (meta-genre in mind) a four-star book series down to three.That would be like you telling me about your day and stopping every five minutes to remind me that you're wearing your Chuck Taylor's and then after three months of this, Chuck Taylor's suddenly become sentient, rebel against humanity, and then install you as their king. The male tribute is Peeta Mellark, a former schoolmate of Katniss who once gave her bread from his family's bakery when her family was starving. It was named one of Publishers Weekly 's "Best Books of the Year" in 2008 [37] and a New York Times "Notable Children's Book of 2008". The story is about how Katniss and Peeta, the boy tribute of District 12, play the Hunger Games and emerge as victors. As a sharp contrast to Katniss, Peeta is the nice guy who does not care much about winning the game.

Katniss later allies with Rue, who is fatally wounded by a tribute from District 1 while Katniss destroys the careers' supplies.The novels in the trilogy are titled The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), and Mockingjay (2010). The reaping day description took me back to Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" and since that was a short story and this was a series, I knew that the sacrificial lamb was going to be around for at least one entire book. I could totally see Effie being cluelessly overjoyed, Johanna being blunt and bitchy and who doesn't know a Delly that thinks everyone in the world is kind and nice?

And when you’re done reading all three books at a breakneck pace and your eyes are about to give up, there will be a several lingering questions in your mind starting with the first and most important one - how far would you go for the people that you love?On one channel she observed people competing on a reality show and on another she saw footage of the invasion of Iraq.
