World of the Hunger Games

by Kate Egan
192 pages

This is the definitive, full-color guide to Panem. Gorgeous photographs from the movie make this a rich visual dictionary for the incredible world that Suzanne Collins created and that has come to life on the big screen. It showcases the major players and participants in The Hunger Games, the life and home of Katniss Everdeen, and the perils of the Games themselves — injuries, fire, muttations, and all the rest. A glossary and new quotes from Suzanne Collins herself complete the package. Fans of both the Hunger Games novels and the stunning forthcoming film will treasure this book.

I didn’t get this during my pre-movie prep time, but went ahead and read through it. It’s actually a great way to get the story and see some movie stills without any *major* spoilers, without reading the book or watching the movie.
