This book is pretty cute and good for any fan of the series. It's from a reporter's (of the game) POV. It doesn't provide any new information to someone who has read the books, but it does have never-before-seen pictures!

I agree with the majority of the reviews saying don't bother spending your money on this book unless you're a hardcore fan who wants to collect the merch. I got this from the library, and I'm very appreciative I didn't spend any money on it.
It did a great job of adding to the excitement of seeing the movie (tomorrow, thankyouverymuch), but it did an awful job of fulfilling the promise of the title. I mean, there's an entire middle section devoted to the Tributes themselves, and 3/4 of them are listed as Girl Tribute and Boy Tribute. I realize the emphasis was put on certain Tributes in both the books and the movie, but a little more effort would've been appreciated.
Meh.

If it is a book on the Hunger Games, you can bet I am going to buy it and drool over it. When I received this guide for review, I did not hesitate in jumping right into it. Unfortunately, it was not what I was really expecting.
We get to see wonderful pictures from the upcoming movie, but nothing really new that we haven't seen from released trailers. It is set up in sections from explaining the reason for the Hunger Games all the way to where Katniss enters the arena. It has color photos of each tribute with little facts on each one leaving the reader with no more information than what we started with after reading the series.
While it is great as a refresher book to remind us of the original story we have already read, it wasn't something that really added to the experience. The photos were the only added bonus but not enough to make me really excited. If you are a hardcore fanatic for this series, then add it to your collection. Otherwise, you might want to pass on this one and see if something better comes out.

This book is exactly what you would think from the title. It’s a guide to the Tributes. I was thinking maybe there would be addition content that we didn’t get in the book, but there is not. This would be a good “fan” book for movie-goers and perhaps even a refresher for readers that may not have read the book in a while.
I was hoping that perhaps we would get names for all of the Tributes. I realize that many in the books did not have names, but since this was a TRIBUTE book… I thought it would have been very cool addition!
If you eat and breathe Hunger Games, than this is a book for you. If you’re a fan but of the books more than the movies, just borrow this one from the library.

Pésimo, creí que abordarían información sobre cada personaje y son apenas unas cuantas imágenes y datos generales.
