i enjoyed these books a truly inordinate amount. when will i outgrow young adult fiction??? i think i'll have to outgrow being myself before that happens, actually. i'm reviewing all three here because i practically read them as one book, in one sitting over the course of several days (that's totally possible). the first two are great, the last one less so though still satisfying in many ways. katniss, our main character, is awesome. i didn't know the main character was a girl til they explicitly tell us so (or rather, til her name comes up in the first one, because i doubt the name 'katniss' would be ever be foisted upon a boy). i was particularly struck by this because it's so rare to have a character rounded out without the conventions and stereotypes of gender rearing their ugly heads... katniss doesn't think about boys and makeup, but about survival, which is what carries her through the trials of this trilogy. even when our author dreams up a love triangle for katniss, as part of spin that will help her win the horrifying games she is forced to participate in by the totalitarian government of her homeland, she eschews the easy way out and allows katniss to be of two minds til the very end, all without expending much of her attention on the romance angle. that is probably the single greatest thing about these books- collins never takes the easy way out. the bad guys are clearly bad, at first, until we realize that the good guys are not clearly good, and that what is done in the name of power is rarely in the interest of goodness or what is best for people. katniss is a reluctant hero, concerned primarily with the safety of her loved ones more than fomenting dissent, and her confusions and indecision comes across as deeply realistic and appropriate to her character. when she befriends her littlest enemy because she reminds her of her beloved sister, when she mercifully kills her fiercest opponent rather than let him suffer at the hands of the capitol, when she kisses peeta but thinks about gale and kisses gale while thinking about peeta, when she mistrusts the rebel's leader despite everything she'd done for katniss's people, it all reads as true to life for a seventeen year old girl caught up in horrific events. she is not made to be some super genius, ultra moral, outstanding exception of a person; she's just a girl who wants to survive, and barring that, wants the people she loves to survive. collins does not make her some crazy superwoman, because that would be the easy way out. and the point is, that nothing's ever easy, like choosing who to love when that will be used against you and everything you stand for, or even killing when you have the righteousness of a cause behind you, because even righteous killing is murder, after all. i love the character of katniss, and it's the strength of her character and the realism with which she jumps off the page that makes the books so thrilling and hard to put down. i gasped, i jumped, i cried once or twice, and was ultimately more entertained and enthralled than i have been in a long time. perhaps the ideas are not freshly minted originals, and the writing can be clunky at times, but the freshness of the story lies in the urgency with which it is told, the authenticity of the sentiments behind the plot, and the vividness of its portraiture. i am not looking forward to the movies, where vast swathes of nuance will surely be lost and the grittiness that makes these books so interesting and real will inevitably be cleaned up and glossed over. but, because i am a good capitol-style consumer whore, i will probably watch them anyway.

Aku ingat sudah membaca buku ini bertahun-tahun yang lalu, sekarang GM mengadakan cetak ulang, ternyata dari sekian koleksi Sidney Sheldon, aku msh blm punya yg ini. Sedang dipesan, nggak sabar mau baca ulang karena sudah lupa ceritanya.

Enjoyed it more than my 3-star rating reflects.

There is a lot of language but if that doesn't bother you this book is definitely worth the read. Our armed forces are amazing!
I read a library copy of this book, then went out and bought a copy for my shelf. It isn't a perfect book, but the conceit is wonderful, and it earns the emotional responses that it provokes. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for time travel novels. Who knows.

Belle has lived all her sixteen years in slavery. As a young girl she lost her mother, who was sold away. Her father has decided that he wants a better life for himself and his daughter, so they flee Kentucky, hoping to reach freedom in Canada. But the two are separated, and Belle finds herself lost and alone in Michigan. She is found by the side of the road by Daniel and Josephine Best, the children of free black parents who operate a station on the Underground Railroad. Belle finds herself taken in by the Bests, being treated like a member of the family. But while enjoying her newfound freedom, she also longs for news of her father. And though she doesn't mean to, Belle finds herself falling in love with Daniel, even though he is already engaged to another. Can they ever be together, and will Belle ever find her father again? I highly recommend this book to teenage girls who enjoy historical romances, as well as older readers who enjoy a sweet love story. The romance is very cute and sweet, and the historical setting isn't extremely detailed, but creates an interesting background for the story while teaching a few historical facts.

Well written. Changes many common historical preceptions. This book contains a lot of information that has been readily available, but has never been complied together.

"Why don't you go watch TV? Papi suggested. He was looking at her like she was the last piece of chicken on earth."
