Book 1 in The Hunger Games

Als Katniss erfährt, dass das Los auf ihre kleine Schwester Prim gefallen ist, zögert sie keinen Moment. Um Prim zu schützen, meldet sie sich an ihrer Stelle für die alljährlich stattfindenden Spiele von Panem – in dem sicheren Wissen, damit ihr eigenes Todesurteil unterschrieben zu haben. Denn von den 24 Kandidaten darf nur ein Einziger überleben! Zusammen mit Peeta, einem Jungen aus ihrem Distrikt, wird Katniss in die Arena geschickt, um sich dem Kampf zu stellen. Sie beide wissen, dass es nur einen Sieger geben kann. Allerdings scheint das Peeta nicht zu kümmern, denn er rettet Katniss das Leben. Sind seine Gefühle ihr gegenüber vielleicht doch nicht nur gespielt, um das Publikum vor den Bildschirmen für sich einzunehmen? Katniss weiß nicht mehr, was sie glauben darf – und vor allem nicht, was sie selbst empfindet….

With the new Hunger Games movie out, I realized I only ever watched the movies and that was 10 years or so ago. So I decided to give the first book a try and it was... nice. I don't quite understand why it became such a success, though. The book was fine and I remember the movie being fine as well. Might need to re-watch it too. But this global success? Ah, well. If you haven't read the book and feel even slightly curious, give it a go. It's a quick and easy read and it's fine overall.

As I suspected, this is a real page-turner. Well executed. On to the next one!

Book 1 especially is a real page turner as we get inside the mind of a young woman forced by her circumstances to undertake a remarkable challenge so that she can continue to do what she has been doing for much of her life - protecting her family. Seeing events through her interpretations and hearing her thoughts (or memories as I suppose they really are) mean we have a very clear view of her character. The story takes us from her 'selection' through to the end of the 74th Hunger Games.
I remember hearing the author on a radio program saying something like "what Katniss does has consequences, which is why it is a trilogy and didn't stop at one book".
Certainly at the end of the first book you cannot stop, there are too many questions about what happens next. The second book though is not such a brilliant read, but here we begin to get a feel for what is happening outside in the world, rather than just inside in the character. Is this just Katniss maturing, or is there more too it?
In the third book we are into revolution and war - a very different set up from the first two and a very different approach by Katniss. For me this third story was the hardest to read, it felt as though some of the characters needed to be removed before the end, and there were increasingly strange ways of killing them, like some sort of bizarre video game. But then that is the world she lives in! That aside there are atrocities for Katniss to come to terms with and her memories become a little fragmented it seemed (as they probably would in the real world, but I was in danger of losing track once or twice).
I read all three books in the lead up to my holiday, while I was away and in the few days after, rarely have I been so captivated by a trilogy, so having read them so close together may have skewed my view.
Highly recommended if you enjoy this genre.
