The Girl Who Was on Fire: Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games Trilogy by Leah Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Since I read the Hunger Games so long ago, this collection of young adult author essays on many of the Hunger Games trilogy’s different themes was a welcome read. Of interest to many will be the Peeta/ Gale question and Katniss’ balance of brain and heart. The dystopian craze is explored; reality vs. unreality in the games, Katniss as a media symbol in “Reality Hunger,” and Cinna’s designs in “Crime of Fashion.” I especially liked the discussion of the characters suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. For the Hunger Games enthusiast, this collection is a perfect extension.
