The whole concept of a Hunger Games is exciting. Absolutely terrible and awful but I love it.

Katniss should be with Gale. I've thought that since the get-go.; ▶ Reply to This

Luckily it's not too long! I don't know whether it was just the lack of sleep but I wasn't that thrilled with the ending. I just felt it was too sudden. But, again, I was really tired and I've yet to read the sequel. I would definitely reccomend it though!; ▶ Reply to This

In short ... damnit I need catching fire because I need to know what happens .... gah.; ▶ Reply to This

I've finshed The HUnger Games and I must say I really loved it.... untill the end. I think the begining was powerful, it drew a dark scene and brought out a heroine we could all love. And the actual "Game" part was my FAVORITE part. I loved Katniss' (possible spelling fail?) voice druing the Game, it was personal and well-written. Ms. Collins did a fanastic job of making me want to jump in a fight alongside her and Rue. I mean, seriously, I wanted to go in and deck Glimmer (and WTH1N1? Who names their kid Glitter? *shudders*) when she had Katniss' bow and arrows.

But the ending KILLED me, I thought it was a really crappy way of ending it. A) Katniss save Perta's life so why was he 1. a jerk and 2. why didn't they tell her about his leg? I think Ms. Collins could have ending it right there and still had very happy fans...

Anywho! Now for the blurb: "In a deadly race to survive can love conquer all?"; ▶ Reply to This

I also like that she isn't trying to be a hero or a rebel. She just wants to protect her family and her district.
