Go deeper into the home of the Hunger Games with the creator of the best-known fan map of Panem * What does Panem look like? * How does Panem define race? * How do Panem's districts reflect the major themes of the trilogy? * What allusions to our world are found in Panem names like Finnick, Johanna, Beetee, Cinna, Everdeen, and Mellark?

I won't be buying this for my high school library, even though we still love the Hunger Games. This is a dense and dry analysis of an exciting series of books. I had a hard time getting past the opening myself, so I don't think my students will get very far either. ( )

Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com

I was not completely sure what I was thinking when I decided to read a companion novel to this popular series. There were some questions that I wanted to know an answer to, but in hindsight, I think it probably wasn't really something for me.

The thing is, that I can get annoyed when people start over-analyzing something, which most certainly is the case in The Panem Companion. There are a few interesting pieces like, where in America are the different Districts located and what do they all do, but a lot of the book is actually taken up either by fan theories (which you can find online by the truckload) or metaphors which are apparently planted into the smallest details of the story.

Not for me.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )

This third-party companion guide for the Hunger Games trilogy reads like a literature critical review, and I wouldn't immediately hand this to younger readers because of its academic writing style. That said, I am impressed with the depth of analysis and commentary of Panem and the characters who live within its districts. This book is an interesting, however slow, read. Readers, both young and older, would like this book if they are diehard fans of the world built by Suzanne Collins. ( )

A combination of facts and opinions, this book reads more like a thesis than a companion book.

I found this book to be equal parts fascinating and difficult to read. I admire the author for their meticulous research and attention to detail, but at the same time I'm not sure if Collins really put THAT much thought into every little detail of the Hunger Games Series when she wrote it.

Some parts of the book riveting, some seem far fetched, but they are all interesting in their own way. ( )
