Starred Review. Reviewed by Megan Whalen Turner
If there really are merely seven original plots within the world, it's odd that boy meets girl is definitely mentioned, and society goes bad and attacks the good guy never is. Yet we've got Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, Your Home in the Scorpion—and now, following a long tradition of Brave New Worlds, The Hunger Games. Collins hasn't tied her future to a specific date, or weighted it down with excessive finger wagging. Rather less 1984 and rather more Death Race 2000, hers can be a gripping story set in a postapocalyptic world in which a replacement to the United States demands a tribute from each of its territories: two children to become used as gladiators in a televised fight towards the death.Katniss, from what was once Appalachia, offers to take the host to her sister inside the Hunger Games, but after this ultimate sacrifice, she's entirely centered on survival at any cost. It is her teammate, Peeta, who recognizes the importance of holding to one's humanity in such inhuman circumstances. It's a credit to Collins's skill at characterization that Katniss, like a fresh Theseus, is cold, calculating but still likable. She has the attributes being a winner, where Peeta has the grace to get an excellent loser.It's no accident why these games are presented as pop culture. Every generation projects its fear: runaway science, communism, overpopulation, nuclear wars and, now, reality TV. Hawaii of Panem—which needs to hold its tributaries subdued and its citizens complacent—may have created the Games, but mindless television may be the real danger, the means in which society pacifies its citizens and punishes those who don't conform. Will its connection to reality TV, ubiquitous today, date the book? It might, but for now, it makes this the proper book at the right time. What happens if we choose entertainment over humanity? In Collins's world, we'll be obsessive about grooming, we'll talk funny, and many types of our sentences can finish while using same rise as questions. When Katniss is shipped to stylists being made more telegenic before she competes, she stands naked in front of them, strangely unembarrassed. They're so unlike people that we are no more self-conscious than if a trio of oddly colored birds were pecking around my feet, she thinks. In order never to hate these creatures who are sending her to her death, she imagines them as pets. It isn't really exactly the contestants who risk the loss of the humanity. It is all who watch. Katniss struggles to win not merely the Games though the inherent contest for audience approval. Because this is the first book inside a series, not everything is resolved, and what exactly is left unanswered is the central question. Has she sacrificed too much? We know very well what she's given as much as survive, and not whether the price was too high. Readers will wait eagerly to find out more.
Megan Whalen Turner could be the author in the Newbery Honor book The Thief and it is sequels, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia. The subsequent book in the series will probably be published by Greenwillow in 2010.

Grade 7 Up -In a not-too-distant future, the United states of america of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation in the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem because the 24 participants are expected to eliminate their competitors, literally, effortlessly citizens necessary to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to adopt her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son from the town baker who seems to get all of the fighting skills of an lump of bread dough, will likely be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives that have trained for this their whole lives. Collins's characters are completely realistic and sympathetic as they form alliances and friendships in the face of overwhelming odds; the plot is tense, dramatic, and engrossing. This book will definitely resonate with all the generation raised on reality shows like 'Survivor' and 'American Gladiator.' Book certainly one of a planned trilogy.Jane Henriksen Baird, Anchorage Public Library, AK
