'Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!' A Study Into Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games and the growth in popularity of Young Adult Dystopian Fiction in contemporary society.

This is a thesis-type book so it's going to be on the academic side of things. The book talks about how the series is like our modern society. The main discussion points of the book include: methodology, genre, Katniss, government and conclusion.

The author notes that the Hunger Games does not have one single gender approach. It is about a young person being a powerful figure, Katniss, and that she classifies as a definite heroine.

It notes that the author uses literature in order to communicate important points such as death, love and mass control of people. The book also has a bibliography.

I think it's a pretty understandable academic book. Comparing the events in the books to what is going on in our society right now is an important point. We definitely have mass communication and because it is mass communication it can be used for both good and bad purposes.

The book is definitely worth reading.
