Hunger Games - Volume 1 (Paperback)

Customer Review

Two things before you start.

1. The biggest challenge I met was to completely forget the film to focus only on the novel. This proved to be a resounding failure because every time I could see in my mind the exact scene of the film.

2. I really have a lot of pressure when writing this column, because YOU FANS frighten me.

I'll assume that you all an idea of ​​what I mean, because if you have not read the novel, you have at least seen the movie, right? : D

The characters

Katniss - heroin, narrator, and pain in the ass - not a character I was able to appreciate, even after the end of the novel. I found it cold, whimsical, and sometimes rather bitch. Enjoy yourself:

Laying on lap Prim, protector, stands the ugliest cat in the world. He flattened nose, it lacks half of one ear and his eyes are colored old squash. Prim insisted baptize button-dor, under the pretext that his yellow hair reminded him that flower. He hates me. Anyway, he does not trust me. Even though it was several years ago, I think he has not forgotten that I tried to drown when Prim brought it home.

SHE TRIED TO WALNUT A CAT! It made me want to try to drown.
But after you tell me: Yes, but she lived in misery and need to understand it, and understand his situation. That's right, and that's why I do not hate her. But really, I hope she will convince me she has feelings, not just a heart of stone in the following volumes.

Peeta. I'm sure he is called in honor of Peeta Pita Bread, since it is the son of a baker. Except at the very end, and I took pity on him, I have not enjoyed Peeta. Apart from the fact that it is super cheesy, it is not very remarkable. It is even rather soft. But on reflection, I think it's maybe not so bad. I mean, it changes a little badass / nerd / perfect guy we constantly encounter. I look forward to see what it can become in the future.

However. TEAM GALE as they say. Do not complete me, thank you :)

Street is the character that touched me the most: by the lightness of his personality, his intelligence well hidden under its apparent innocence.

I loved Effie, who added freshness and color to the plot.

The Society

Like every beginning of dystopia - except for Divergent, where I quickly assimilated, I needed a looooong time to understand how the company worked. Obviously, this is a dystopia, not a utopia, I quickly able to compare their dictatorship than Promise Ally Condie, or of Delirium by Lauren Oliver. With the colors and more.
The difference between these companies and the Hunger Games is that here, the state is not trying to hide their dictatorship, and their reasons. Finally, I got the impression, at least.
Because if that's the case, I did not notice, and Katniss is much more perceptive than other heroines.

However, if we focus on the event of the Hunger Games, and the effect it has on the people, it is very little discussion of the company itself. The policy is not exhaustive, and was quite curious on that point. Maybe this will be cleared up afterwards. Wait and see.

The novel itself

I struggled to hang early. Yet the basics are quickly implemented, and selection for the Hunger Games is super fast. So I think it's the fault of Katniss! She had only to be as boring! So I pretty waded into the semolina to the entrance into the arena. And there, guys, I gets off.

Suzanne Collins leaves very little time to recover from our emotions, there is constantly the action - with a few drops plans, though. Even though I knew what would happen, I was taken into the action and suspense of the Hunger Games, in an arena full of traps, where Katniss can not rely on anything or anyone, where "nature" is also controlled by the company. The strategic side I liked: tribute each having its own strategy, it was interesting to get an overview of the evolution and survival of some.

If I have two days to read the first quarter of the novel, I put that in the last three quarters. And even if a break is needed in the trilogy, I'm looking forward to learn more about the events because I have no idea what will follow, and that, well I ' admit, I loved: D
