Want a copy of THE HUNGER GAMES COMPANION?


Okay, an up-front confession here. I haven’t read The Hunger Games trilogy yet. There, I said it. 

I have all of the books. They’re in my towering to-read pile. I just haven’t gotten to them yet. So when I received a copy of the new The Hunger Games Companion in the mail, I wouldn’t read it. I don’t want any spoilers—I’m trying to ignore all the movie buzz for the same reason. I know I’m going to like these books….just not yet. So…I’m passing it on to one of you.

I will read far enough to tell you what is in the Table of Contents, though, so here are the chapter titles:
1—The Hunger Games Trilogy: Surviving the End of the World
2—Repressive Regimes and Rebellions: Could the Hunger Games Really Happen?
3—Hunger: Starving in the Districts
4—Tributes: Gladiators in the Arena
5—Weapons: How Tributes Survive
6—Torture and Execution: What a Way to Go
7—The Nature of Evil: President Snow and His Cronies
8—Killer Kids: How Responsible Are They?
9—Hype Over Substance: A Mirror of Modern Times
10—Theseus and the Minotaur: Parallels
11—Survival Instincts and Strategies: Does Katniss Know What She’s Doing?
12—Medicines and Poisons: Simple and Complex
13—Muttations and Other Hybrids: Birds, Beasts, and Roses
14—More Weird Science: A Brief Roundup

It’s all Greek to me. Want to win a copy of The Hunger Games Companion? You know the routine: just comment to enter. Earn a second entry for blog follow, another for Twitter follow @Suzanne_Johnson, and another for Tweet or Retweet or a share on Facebook—total of four entries possible! What do you like about this series? (Or not like?)

  5. Suzanne you must read these books. Absolutely fantastic. One of my absolute favorites. It is really what got me hooked on the dystopian genre.

    It's hard to say exactly what i love most about the series. But Katniss is awesome. The whole premise fascinated me. Really loved all 3 books.

  23. I did manage to read The Hunger Game series, and so would love to read this. Thanks for the giveaway!

    I liked the characters and the idea of the Games. I'm more a SF fan so I liked the look at a future dystopian setting, though I'd really love to see an adult series explaining how we got to that point.

  24. I love love love the Hunger Games! I love Suzanne Collins writing style. It's quite frank, to the point. It's a great dsytopian. I didn't find the romance aspect as 'overwhelming' or so big as it's made out to be by some. I liked the fact that Katniss was focused on what was going on politically, more so on than her love life.
    Thanks for the brilliant giveaway!

  26. You will definitely have time find some time to read it, Suzanne. I just gave The Hunger Games to my co-worker to read. She loved it, and passed it along to her friend who also loved it. They thought it was soo good that they had to go out and get the other two books and read them right away.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  28. I just recently finished all three and I'd love this copy. While I totally despise most reality shows, these books were so awesome. They ran me through all kinds of emotions. If the movies are a third as good as the books they will be awesome.
