The Girl Who Was on Fire: Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games Trilogy by Leah Wilson

4.0

Good science fiction allows present-day issues to be brought to the fore, analyzed, and critiqued, while set in a scientifically plausible future. The Hunger Games trilogy is good science fiction--lots of thought-provoking stuff there. The authors of the chapters in this (unauthorized) tie-in book (while touted as "Your Favorite Authors...", most of them I'd never heard of, though I have heard of a few of their books) do a great job at looking at many of these issues, like reality vs. unreality, love as a political act, power and surveillance, scientific ethics, PTSD, and so forth. I really enjoyed reading their thoughts and analyses and would recommend this book for folks who want a little more after finishing the trilogy.
