The Girl Who Was on Fire: Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games Trilogy by Leah Wilson
3.0
If you're a rabid fan of The Hunger Games you'll most likely find the essays collected within to be insightful, making you think more deeply about the Girl Who Was On Fire and her companions.
The esays at the beginning about the actual text were good. As it went on, though, some of the essays were hit or miss. There was one about fashion that I found fairly boring, but the one about PTSD was really good. One essay about media and war seemed more like the author just wanted to talk about how she's been oh-so-put-upon by the nay-sayers of the world, and I often forgot that I was reading a book about The Hunger Games and not a book about whether or not the War on Terror is/was justified. I ended up skimming most of that pity party.
BUT this is definitely woth the read if only for the literary essays. Those set the girl on fire again and make it worth it.
