review
Suzanne Collins began her career as a screenwriter for the American children's television and published years later, her debut novel and the series opener "Gregor and the Prophecy" , which became an international bestseller. With "The Tribute by Panem - Deadly Games " writer who lives in Connecticut, presented in August 2009, honored the first novel in the trilogy about Panem Katniss Everdeen and was soon with prestigious awards.
>> suddenly overwhelmed me to think Peeta might already be lost, bled to death, picked on and be the way back to the Capitol, to clean, and dressed in a simple wooden case back to District 12 sent to. No longer here. Maybe it's better if he is already dead. He had no confidence in his victory. And should I end up not face the unpleasant task of killing him. \u0026lt;\u0026lt;
North America was destroyed. Wars and natural disasters have brought the country to case, but from this wreckage is Panem emerged. It is dominated by the Capitol that presented annually as a memorial relentless battles his people. Katniss Everdeen is a twenty-four tributes from the various Districts are provided. To protect her sister, she launches into a fight for their lives. A victory seems hopeless, but where enemies are also friends nearby. Even if you just know it too well against him. And so it happens that the arena is no longer just the playground of the tournament directors and the Capitol ... let
youth books different groups of readers will be stunned there are not many. At least not in recent times. The idea is usually with age, yet has managed to largely Suzanne Collins with her novel Deadly Games to unite the votes of their readership. The enthusiasm is great; a date for the blockbuster film version already exists. From twenty-third in March 2012 will be seen Katniss Everdeen in Austrian cinemas. But by that time and, ultimately, in addition, this youth book almost certainly still enjoy many a reader heart. A fact that is not further surprising, because the story of Katniss and Peeta, sent jointly from their district in an arena of the Capitol to be against twenty two other tributes, and, ultimately, to fight each other, touching, courageous and admirable at the same time. Suzanne Collins has been remarkably trouble here, not just a liquid, a coherent plot, but also some to present some very forward-warning idea. Your dystopia refers to the acting out of various favoritisierten especially by the youth trends like Chastingshows and the currently much-loved reality TV. Wealth, oppression and power are issues here, and lived in Panem, especially in the Capitol, beauty craze. Poverty meets prosperity, or: Katniss the center of power, which they hate, together with her childhood friend, Gale, and fear, as it has learned. There are (against the homeland) luxury in abundance. All things from the various strictly governed by the Capitol to be made and districts whose inhabitants mostly inhuman exists between Living conditions have to suffer.
And now suffering is a big issue in the first volume of the trilogy. A topic on which you should not handle light-hearted and that is suitable for older youth or adults. Because the resulting violence is described in various forms. Also psychological. The representations of various oppressions, the general misery of the population and soon thereafter fights are hard, but not sprawling. As a counterpart are the slowly developing feelings of two people. Peeta, who apparently knows what he wants, even if up to a point still remains obscure, and Katniss that one (on the surface) throughout can be described as an emotion rather poor girl. As a young breadwinner of a family she often shows up in cool, familiar only very few people. It is determined to knowing and persistent. The reader follows their development from the beginning and like the initial feeling, it do with a cool protagonist zuhaben, differs with the advancing number of pages and the ever more border profundity.

has also succeeded in building and action. Suzanne Collins told her story smoothly and all of a piece of Katniss view. The first-person perspective is well chosen, and emotional changes like descriptions between cold and warm details. Only one flaw is that can be mainly related to the lack of different explanations. Because basically the technology in the arena is difficult to understand. Hardly explains why, for example, a temperature crash comes into existence and how to manipulate an area of such size in this direction at all. Because the arena is great, too vast. It is understandable that many may not know Katniss, there remain certain (mainly technical) things without some kind of explanation unrealistic. One fact, however, that one - can forgive - love the essence itself.

keeping with the novel, the publishing group Oetinger published a wonderful, but abridged audio version. The spoken text of the Maria Koschny can convince her innocent, youthful voice throughout. Moreover, they provide an emotional depth in their pronunciation, even the knows very inspiring. Clearly understandable, but also vulnerable, the words are presented. Hardly surprising for a speaker, among other things, her voice as a voice actress Lindsay Lohan has borrowed, Jessica Biel, Mischa Barton and Christina Ricci.
Accompanied the various chapters alternating fits well with music and also the epic-sounding intro can be heard. The break between the individual variable here is well placed, voltage-poking. Sound and editing are attractive, as well as the content, which was indeed reduced, but with over three hundred and eighty minutes you can still convince completely. Price of this audio book is however not necessarily cheap to buy, but offers - for all audio book fans - a good, listenable alternative to the book that can be enjoyed even necessarily in that form.
Conclusion
The Tribute by Panem - Deadly Games is a read- radio play and very special event that has found good reason his supporters.
