My Review
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for a honest review. This is a collection from several YA authors as they write essays on The Hunger Games trilogy. Being a Hunger Games fan I knew I had to read it to get their thoughts on this series. You need to take your time reading this as they all make great points. I love reading why they think the books have done so well and why they think Katniss ended up with who she did. Sorry no spoilers from me lol. Each essay will make you think and gives great points as in why Suzanne Collins may have wrote the books the way she did. Some of the essays point out to where the books are similar to books that are already written. While reading this some of the stories did stay with me while some dragged on. One I really enjoyed is by Carrie Ryan she really seem to stand out in this book. Over all most of the stories range from 2.5 to a 4. I would pick this up if you have read and enjoy the Hunger Games Series. If you haven't read them I wouldn't pick this up because it does have spoilers in it.
Overall 4 out of 5 Bats~Pam
