Super cheesy, but so very true!!! And I can't choose between Peeta and Gale. They're both amazing! How can you choose between two guys like that?? I'm going to have to re-read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire now; I've forgotten too much, lol.; ▶ Reply to This

The publishers need to tell us what the third book will be called and when we can get it. Now.
I literally can't stop thinking about this book (and Catching Fire). So amazing. This hasn't happened since I read Twilight (I know. I was 12) and before that Harry Potter.

Also Katniss should definitely be with Gale.; ▶ Reply to This

The Hunger Games was truly a fantastic book. What I think really made it so powerful, was how raw it was. There was no sugar-coating; everything was out on the table. The hardships that Katniss describes in District 12, especially compared to the Capitol, really made you feel for the characters. Not to mention that the characters themselves were phenomenal. They didn't waver in and out of characteristics like some have a tendency to do. They were very well developed, believable, and easy to relate to. The plot was never cliché or boring. There was always something going on in the book that made you want to keep going. The relationships and actions of the characters were very realistic. The general idea of the story, and of the Hunger Games, was truly horrific in the most fascinating way.

In short, I thought it was a completely brilliant book, as was Catching Fire, and I can not wait for August!; ▶ Reply to This
