Twilight Saga or Hunger Games Trilogy?
I can not decide if I like Twilight or Hunger Games better? Twilight was a mesmerizing romance about believable vampires, Hunger Games was also a romance filled with action and suspense. What are your thoughts guys?
Hunger Games. Twilight poses no competition at all.
On a scale of one to ten:
For Romance:
-Hunger Games: 9
-Twilight: -9.34432
In General:
-Hunger Games: 9 1/2
-Twilight: 3
I love the romance in the Hunger Games. It's my favorite romance in a YA book, and one of my favorites in general, slightly behind Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, and Elisabeth (a German musical).
The romance in Twilight bugged the heck out of me. Someone really should have slapped Bella. I would say that someone should push her off a cliff, but she does that for us, and is still annoying. I don't get what she sees in Edward, although I'm glad she doesn't end up with Jacob because Jacob deserves better. Edward is really annoying. He is so condescending and he treats the boys crushing on Bella like dirt.
That gives me a lot of reasons not to read Twilight. Thank you. lol. If your annoyed with Bella, I would surely hate her.
I would really recommend them. There r th people who love twilight, and the people who hate it, I am a person who loves it. U have to start it not thinking about what others say and that veryone is so obsessed with it. Otherwise it is really good. Hunger Games was a lot more impressive though.
Hmmm...I think I would still recommend it. The minor characters rock, as does Jacob. It's really just Bella and Edward that drive me nuts. Really, really nuts.

woohoo go team jacob
I am most definitly team Edward and Peeta, they have the same type of role I think and so do Jacob and Gale. Edward and Peeta are who the girls really love but have a very complicated relationship. Jacob and Gail would probably be better for the girls and very easy relationships and really, really care. I am still on team Edward/Peeta though.
twilight isnt a good match against the hunger games. i think the giver. so which do you think is better the giver or the hunger games?
the hunger games has more action, but the giver has more mystery- its an even match, they r my two fav books
Wait, when you say someone is "Team ....", does that mean that they like that character better for themselves or for the main character?
In Hunger Games, I like Peeta for myself, and Gale for Katniss.
In Twilight, I like Jacob, although I wouldn't date him myself, and I think that Bella stinks and that Jacob deserves better, meaning that Bella should end up with Edward. Even creepy stalkers and clingly, unhealthily dependent people have soul mates, right? ;)
I LOVE the Giver!
I think it's for the main character...Anyway, I'm team Gale and Jacob. Jacob in general, Gale for Katniss.
Yeah...that seemed kind of confusing.
I read the Giver, it's really good. *goes to add to bookshelf*

Both for me
I love the Giver, but the Hunger Games is way better in my opinion. I mean, it gives you more to so much to ponder inbetween books and has more character developement and more complicated relationships. I mean, the Giver was wonderful but the plot was slightly predictable whereas with the hunger games I have no idea what is going to happen. It's new to. I've heard the giver a couple times over and it's what you'd expect with a utopian society and a leak. Have you read gathering blue and messenger?

I think the relationships are a bit different though. I mean, Katniss openly admitted to herself that she'd choose Gale over Peeta and I don't think she really loves Peeta in that way. From what I understand, Bella really fought to have a realationship with Edward but Katniss is trying to get out of a relationship with Peeta. Jacob and Bella didn't really have a romance did she? I mean, wasn't it kind of like she was always fighting to have Edward back. I think they are two seperate matters in themselves (the hunger games and twilght). Idk, I haven't read the books but that's what is sounds like to me.
lol. sorry, robert patterson isn't my dream guy. now if we could mix the artistic parts of peeta in to gale... he he.
no Summer! :)
when i said Edward, i mean the EDward Cullen in the book, not the Edward from the movie.. :)
just imagine.. Edward on you right, Gale on your left... :)
what does edward look like in the books then? i must now this because for the moment gale is standing right in front of me lol.

I 100 PERCENT ABSOLUTELY agree with every thing you just said! FNALLY! Someone that isnt in my family or one of my closest friends who gets it!!!
for anyone who has to read the giver for class- read it be4 they assign it!!! you will like it MUCH BETTER! trust me on this one

imagine having Edward or Gale for your boyfriend...yum! lol"
Gale...yum! Peeta...double yum! Edward...*runs away*
How about...Gale on my left, Peeta on my right, Neville in front of me, Marius behind me, Enjolras between Neville and Peeta, Luke between Gale and Neville, and Cinna between Peeta and Marius. XD
Sorry, I just watched Chicago yesterday. "I'm gonna get me a whole bunch of boys!" XD
Chicago actually looks like a good movie but my parents... sigh. oh well. Random I know but I just saws Outbreak and I officailly love that movie.
That stinks. If you ever get a chance to see it, I recommend it. I also recommend the stage version.
Outbreak?
It's about a virus, causing hemoragic fever in this small town in California. I liked a lot of the acting. It had Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding Jr., Dustin Hoffman. I don't know, it's kind of actiony and scientific at the same time. I love to see the stage version. That'd be awesome.
for the books it just has to be the hunger games as there is more going on loads of action and in the love stakes you dont really have any idea who katniss is going to pick where we always knew who bella would end up with deep down. i cant wait to see the hunger games as a film to decide which of the actors i will prefer
Ya, I'm so anxious. They better be good. I really don't want to go see a butchered version of HG. It's madenning.
At least she'll probably have a say in most of it. She says that they ask her oppinion and consider it. She may have some say in the actors as well but they make the final decicion.
