The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins - Restarting December 4th 2023

[Deidra]

Chapter 23: (view spoiler)[ The moment I found out that they had the potential to both survive, I got way more invested in the story. All I wanted was to get to the end to know they both got to make it! (hide spoiler)]

[Deidra]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ When the Hunger Games ends, Katniss starts to get her first impressions of what it's like to be a victor. If you look at Haymitch, it can't be great. She finds herself just another pawn having to stay in place. I hate how much the truth hurts Peeta though. That boy is so pure. (hide spoiler)]

[Josephine]

@Akshita: (view spoiler)[ the chapters are too long, it took me a while to get into to as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Josephine]

Part 1: (view spoiler)[ It would be cool to get POVs from the other districts, like maybe the Careers? (hide spoiler)]

[Josephine]

C15: (view spoiler)[ I’m liking it now that the Games have started. It’s quite cool having only Katniss’ POV at this point as you fell like you are surviving with her. (hide spoiler)]

[Josephine]

Part 2: (view spoiler)[ I’m really liking it! The careers are stupid, they only reason they are still alive is because they kept all the food that was given to them. I’m sad Rue died, but I really hope Peeta and Katniss win it together! That would be so cute! I also want to know why they had the rule change because Peeta and Katniss are the only ones left (I think) that are from the same district. So who made the Gamemakers change their mind because surely they’d have to pay for it, because that’s how the Capitol works. (hide spoiler)]

Definitely

[Josephine]

Deidra wrote: "Chapter 23: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah me too! I love their relationship

[Josephine]

Deidra wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

Omg I agree (view spoiler)[ he is so pure! But I feel so bad for Katniss because what is she supposed to say to Gale? I know how she feels, trapped between 2 people. It’s clear that Peeta wasn’t faking the star crossed lovers story though, although I’m not sure how he thought she’d be so on board after having only met him at the reaping. (hide spoiler)]

Omg I agree [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Gale is great, but Peeta is better for her in the long run. Gale and Katniss are pretty much the same people. Peeta brings out parts of her Gale can't. I wish Gale realized the situation she was in and helped her out. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I’m not saying i disagree, i just think Katniss needed longer to work out her feelings, whereas Peeta expected her to just be in love with him from the beginning. She clearly liked Gale. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It's the district doing the three finger salute thing that gets me :( (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

7%
(view spoiler)[ I love the story of Katniss's first interaction with Peeta. It's so compassionate in a world that doesn't care much for other people (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

13%

(view spoiler)[I'm pretty sure I'm at the part where in the movie Effie yells out "That is mahogany!!!" and I'm kind of sad it's a movie quote and not a book quote because it's one of my favorites lol (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Katniss talking Peeta up to Haymitch just to spite Peeta for talking her up makes me laugh every time (hide spoiler)]

29%
(view spoiler)[ Gahhh. "Because she came here with me!" I feel just like a capital member with the way I'm invested with their relationship playing out. I'm obsessed. (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Hi I am currently in the middle of another book, I will finish that one and will start this straight away!

(view spoiler)[ The sleep syrup is one of my favorite parts. It's really clever on Haymitch and Katniss's part (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

25% (view spoiler)[ I really love Peeta. He sees the good in Katniss and I think in the beginning he really wants her to win and have the best chance. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

100%
(view spoiler)[ Ugghh the end always makes me sad. It was so real for Peeta but Katniss thought it was all just a way to survive (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Krystal wrote: "25% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I wonder if it's because he thinks she has more to come home to, considering the relationship she has with her family vs the relationship he has with his (hide spoiler)]

[Aaron]

Hey. I’m a bit late but do you mind if I join? I can probably start this tonight.

[Nicole]

Sure thing. I haven't started yet either.

[Krystal]

45% (view spoiler)[ Things have started and she has some advantages with the water purifying (now that she has finally found some water). I really think she should truly think about what Peeta is doing. I know it's about survival but think Katniss! (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

60% (view spoiler)[ I had forgotten all about her injured ear! (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Krystal wrote: "60% [spoilers removed]"

Me too! It's amazing the things I remember from the movie, but not from the book.

[Krystal]

90% (view spoiler)[ It's crazy how they turned the tributes into mutts! So disrespectful! I feel bad for not only them, but their families. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Katrina wrote: "61%
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[It really was. It's eerie how they are being listened to in such detail. But Haymitch is clever. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

100% (view spoiler)[ They definitely both have a lot to talk about in regards to their relationship, that's for sure. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Katrina wrote: "Krystal wrote: "25% [spoilers removed]"

That is very true.

[Krystal]

Katrina wrote: "100%

Right! (view spoiler)[ It's so hard to dislike Peeta. (hide spoiler)]

25%
(view spoiler)[ I hadn’t thought of ta but now you’ve said it, it makes a lot of sense. I also think Peeta is a generally positive person but he knows that Katniss has a better chance then he does so he wants her to win rather than anyone else. (hide spoiler)]

[Aaron]

50%
(view spoiler)[ she should’ve realised Peeta was trying to help her by now. Why have the career tributes not killed him yet though. At this point he’s not really any use to them. It’s not like he’ll lead em to Katniss. (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Today I will start reading it :)

[Sasha]

chapter 1-5
(view spoiler)[ The 3 finger symbol to Katniss was really a nice gesture for her braveness.
Katniss seems that she is forgiving her mother. (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Chapters 6-10
(view spoiler)[ I love the attitude of Katniss infront of the Gamemakers table.

It's really not fair that Katniss and Peeta have to pretend that they like each other in order for them to get sponsors (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, it's not fair because only one of them will win in the end.

[Nicole]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ Why is Petta teaming up with the careers? (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

(view spoiler)[

It seems that Peeta is working with other people. I think that wasn't a wise move at least if he wanted to work with someone it should have been katniss (hide spoiler)]
