A review by mjarmel
The Panem Companion: An Unofficial Guide to Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games, from Mellark Bakery to Mockingjays by V. Arrow

3.0

I hope that the grammatical errors and some muddled language got corrected in the final version since it was actually noticeable and, at times, a hindrance to understanding the point being made in the advance review copy. Overall, I think this book would be great for a parent or teacher or older sibling to read alongside of the books with preteens; this work is a good jumping point to have conversations about media and government control and culpability of atrocities in the world with a younger audience. But mostly it reads like threads on a fandom message board, but tries to include a more academic angle to support the theories.

Edit: I received this as an ARC through Goodreads First Reads for free.
