Catching Fire |Hunger Games|

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for [b:Mockingjay|7260188|Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)|Suzanne Collins|http:photo.goodreads.com/books/1294615552s/7260188.jpg|8812783]!!!!!!!!!!

A corrupt central government, shallow residents of the capitol, extreme reality TV, a very sympathetic, strong and upright heroine with two heroes who love her -- what is not to love about this book series? I can't help but compare Courageous Catniss with Brooding Bella and can tell you that I can relate far better to Catniss. And, to me the big question isn't Edward or Jacob but Gale or Peeta -- these young men do far more to deserve admiration.

This book is a great read -- its not just entertainment but it makes you stop and think about government, family, loyalty and survival. I fear that Hollywood will make a movie series from these books and cast some shallow starlet in the lead role and ruin the rough but sincere charm of Catniss.

I had liked Hunger Games, but I only read its sequel because a good friend of mine recommended the book to me. After reading this one, I just had to finish the trilogy.

Omg this is so much worse emotionally than the adaptation !! I also absolutely forgot how little the Games take in this one

I so appreciate how having Katniss' POV and thoughts directly, like you can only have in book format, is crucial to the overall themes of these books. I don't think I can articulate what I mean by that as much as I would like (because brain fried rn), it's just i keep being shocked that we're seing all this happen to children from a child's POV.

Anyways great reread and i'm scared to read Mockingjay now lmao i'm afraid of the emotional damage, especially once i get my hands on Sunrise on the Reaping.

I have recommended all three of the Hungergames Triology. They are all equally good, which is not an easy feat for an author.
