Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins' HUNGER GAMES Trilogy
pub: April 2011
Praised by writers from Stephen King to Stephenie Meyer, Suzanne Collins’ New York Times bestselling Hunger Games trilogy is dark, captivating, and deeply thought-provoking. Part straight-up survivalist adventure, part rich allegory, and part political thriller, the series has become a new YA favorite.
The Girl Who Was On Fire offers even more to think about for teen readers already engrossed by the Hunger Games. From the trilogy's darker themes of violence and social control to reality television, fashion, and weaponry, the collection's exploration of the Hunger Games by other YA writers reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous, protagonist Katniss’ world really is.
Remember when you finished THE HUNGER GAMES
As book bloggers we had an outlet for discussion with each other. But wouldn't it have been grand to talk to some of your favorite YA authors about it? YEEESSS!
THE GIRL WHO WAS ON FIRE
They give their opinions on the politics, the people, and the world that Collins created. There's lots of comparisons to society's current obsession with Reality TV. Elizabeth M. Rees in Smoke and Mirrors discusses how so much in the books is not what it seems. Mary Borsellino talks about how love is used as a weapon. Ned Vizzini gives insight into real media training. Cara Lockwood explores the science. Teri Clark focuses on how fashion played such a huge part in the story. I could go on and on.
Okay so the authors don't talk back but it's almost like having them in your living room. I loved their insights into so many aspects of THE HUNGER GAMES

Not really sure that I would like to read it, but it does sound fun
I'm reading this now! I just started Carrie's essay. I love these kinds of books. :)
This sounds interesting. Some authors are very serious about their craft, I remember reading Stephen King's article about Stephenie Meyer and how he didn't care for her writing. So I'm curious what he and the other have to say.
*froths at the mouth*
I want this! I had to discuss HG with myself, so I feel so deprived.
Can't wait to check out all the comments from other authors.
*gives Missie a bib since I'm below her*
Oh I still have the HG on my tbr and haven't gotten to them yet. I will though and would love to have this one to go with it. Nice!
I probably shouldn't say this but I've only read the first book. I do have the rest of the series but am a little afraid to read Catching Fire and Mockingbird because The Hunger Games just was so great.
Great contest and blog post! Thank you!
I cannot wait to read this book. Thanks!
This totally reminds that I NEED to re-read The Hunger Games thois summer so I can read the last two books (yep, I am so behind on this awesome series).
You're right, The Girl Who Was on Fire sounds really good, and maybe even a moist read for fans. :)
