I decided to download this since I loved the Hunger Games series so much, and I wanted some further insight. A few of these essays are solid, decent write-ups of the themes. There wasn't anything here quite new or surprising, but I really enjoyed some of the essays on reality tv, the media representation the Iraqi war in context to the Hunger Games, and the one about Team Katniss (because the love triangle is the least priority in these books...).

There were some really boring essays included as well. They felt off the mark or excessively corny and pandering to teenage readers.

Enjoyable if you REALLY enjoy the Hunger Games, but not necessary reading.
