I really liked that book, surprisingly :)
I don't think I've come across a book that I've absolutely hated. Probably the one I didn't like the most was Mockingjay, I'm sorry to say.
Cassie Twilight and Mockingjay. Bleh

waht?? Harry Potter??
MiMi Yep that's right people I openly hate Harry potter
Lisa Loved Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Pride and Prejudice.
Really dislike Dan Brown's books, Twilight series and Philip Pulllman's Dark Chronicles.
Thankfully we are all different.
Steve mitchell hahaha MiMi gave me a good laugh^^^^
you know they burn people at the stake in England for saying that????????

I hated the final hunger games book, was that mockingjay? or girl with mockingjay tattoo on fire kicking a nest of jays? I dont get how she wins not one but two hunger games, and then turns into a pile of mushy mess, gale or peta gale or peta, ohhhhhh i cant do anything.

And how can anybody hate battlefield earth? That was like my favorite childhood book for a while, granted Lron was a nut, or at least the people he left behind were.

I hate, uhhhh infinite jest by wallace, I hate even though I have only read snippets or over my girlfriends shoulder both twilight and 50 shades!!!!!

I hate it when you go to the store and get everything you need but the one most important item you forgot, especially if that was the one thing you really needed to make something either food or furniture or fixup, hate hate hate, if you have hate in your heart let it out.
Lisa Hullo Steve! A face I recognise!
Lisa I agree, the first few chapters were good then it got silly.
Nobody, your name changed! What's the song?
Natasha S ♥ Mockingjay SUCKED!
Lisa The first two I recognise
Lisa I didn't enjoy Mockingjay as much as the others. I however thought that Katniss was struggling emotionally due to all she had lost and suffered. I missed Peta.
Steve mitchell Ok if you have a chance ask everyone who has read the series who they would have picked peta v gale, first of all its much tougher to find guys that have read this or are willing to admit it but

almost every gal I have asked says peta, I have not found a single gal that picks gale, which just shows me why men cant get women ^generally^ it goes back to the old rick V victor laslow, and only the elder of the group or old souls will know what thats about anyway

most guys will say gale duhhhhhhh, which by the way is the correct choice:)
Lisa I have never managed to get through more than 10 minutes of Casablanca.
Not a love triangle fan.
Katniss and Gale are so very angry, I think they'd destroy eachother.
I know several guys who've read this.
Steve mitchell cant get through casablanca???????? wellllll heres not looking at you kid!!!!!!

I think the love triangle thing is what makes a lot of soso books/tv/movies appeal to folks????
Lisa LOL, I do however get the references. I don't find love triangles realistic.
Cat Ugh, I hated Mockingjay so much! Oh an Steve I was hoping for Gale too. Dreams crushed XD

Love triangles are always so obvious. I'm not the biggest fan of them either.
Sabrina Well what do you think makes a love triangle?
Does the person in the middle have to be unable to make a choice between the other people?
Because I hear people talking about books having love triangles, when it's clear the person in the middle is only interested in one of the options, and doesn't even consider the other person in the supposed triangle.
Does that make sense?
Cat Yes!! It does!! That's why I hate love Triangles because it's always so obvious who the main character is going to end up with.

I think the only love triangle I liked was the Trylle series one. Which was actually surprising.
Sabrina Oh okay then.
I read that series too - that was shocking.
Cat Oh, what do I think makes a love triangle? I think its a main character that has some sort of relationship with two others. Whether its friendship, romantic relationship etc. Even though the main character may not like one of them, that character may like the main character. And stuff like that, if that even made sense XD

Ikr its one of the reasons I like those books so much.
Sabrina Oooh yeah I get it :)

Haha :) I read them a while ago, so I don't remember them perfectly. I remember though, that I did like them, but for some reason I didn't get invested in the series.
Cat I read them a few months back because my friend kept recommending them and they were ALWAYS at the library. It wasn't really my favorite. I just think the use of twists throughout it was really nice and helped make it a lot more interesting :)
Sabrina Ahah I think I read them just over a year ago. Yeah, I agree - from what I can remember haha.

Cat I LOVED LEGEND
Cat I was shaking my head in disappointment at Lya XD
Sabrina Aha okay then :)
deleted user Pfft
Steve mitchell this is back to the what makes a love triangle, which I cant remember how we got on it, buuuuuuuuut

fab cat hit the nail on the head, its obviously 3 folks, and someone mentioned "well the person in the middle always really prefers one of them" alas that isnt necessarily true, but if I concede that that is true, its not always a question of what one prefers

sometimes, or really most of the time, the triangle is not so much a choice between which person do I love more, but a choice of right and wrong, sin V ethics

take graham greenes end of the affair, you have a girl who fell in love, well actually it was more a setup and social caste type arrangement, but the husband is a great man who does his duty and is a great hubby in every way-----other than in the bedroom/passion area--- then one day a guy comes along and she thinks she found her true soulmate/lover/whateveryou wanna callhim the man who tips her scales, flips her lid
now you have your classic love tri throw in a scene where she thinks hes dead and prays to god that he will be ok, and he is but she promised to god that if he lived she would stop cheating/sinning and now you really have the big decision of who should she choose, anyyyyyyywood thats a classical love triangle, and the correct answer again is Rick and Gale :)
Cat Fab Cat XD

and good example
Caru Legend
