Recenzii
"We really enjoyed The Panem Companion. It’s unapologetically smart and refuses to trivialize the series or its fandom … if you’re going to read [a companion book], we suggest you go for this one.
—Victor's Village, a Hunger Games blog
"An in-depth look into Panem and its districts, this book will help you understand why Panem is the way it is, and how it led to a rebellion … Overall, an exceptional companion book to the Hunger Games that every fan should read."
—HG Girl on Fire, a Hunger Games fansite
“If other companions are Hunger Games 101, this is the grad school class.”
—Leah Wilson, editor of The Girl Who Was on Fire

Notă biografică
V. Arrow graduated from Knox College in 2008 with degrees in history and creative writing, specializing in 20th-century pop culture and young adult lit. Under another name, she has previously published at Pop Matters, The One Love, Tommy2.net, and The Hollywood Reporter. Arrow has read a book a day for the last 22 years, and grew up to the age of 12 without realizing that the Muppets weren’t living creatures. She believes that pop culture affects, reflects, and informs all aspects of daily life in Western culture and that it is perhaps the most crucial form of media expression to analyze and discuss.
