Do you wish the first Hunger Games movie had been longer? As a true fan, you probably wanted more footage, more scenes revealing the world of Panem, more build-up to the 74th annual Hunger Games. Twelve districts, 24 tributes…that’s a lot of personalities and backstories, easy to miss when trying to keep up with the action. Now you can go behind the scenes and soak up every detail at your own pace.
Author Emily Seife starts by introducing Panem, the Capitol, and each of the 12 districts. Then she walks you through the Games: the reaping, the 24 tributes and their stats, the train to the Capitol, the Remake Center, the opening ceremonies featuring a dazzling parade of the tributes, the Training Center, the private evaluation sessions, the interviews with Caesar Flickerman, and finally the journey to the arena.
It’s like getting a guided tour, with plenty of still photos from the movie. Get a close-up look at the terrifying Careers – Glimmer, Marvel, Clove, Cato – and other tributes like Rue, Thresh, and Foxface. Cheer for Katniss, Peeta, and the District 12 support team of Haymitch, Effie, Cinna, and Portia. If you’ve already read all three books in Suzanne Collins’s series, you can escape into Panem again via The Hunger Games Tribute Guide Book.
