Mod
she was totally and completely lame in mockinjay. mockingjay actually made me realize that the other two books wernt all that good either. im so happy, its national book week here. i get to by lots of really cheep books. yay!!!!
Mod
I don't know, that is a matter of opinion. I like them. Not just while I was reading them, but in retrospect as well.
I love them, except Mockingjay wasn't all that great.
I liked Mockingjay, but not my favorite. The first and Second were my favorites. Still, Mockinjay was really good.
NOw, I dunno if this makes any sense, but even though the events happen clearly and such and happened because of each other, they seemed totally unconnected in retrospect. Like Finnick died. Prim was brutally murdered (by Suzanne). Gale disappeared at the end, forcing Katniss with Peeta.nothing seemed to happen and flow like (for example) Shannon Hale's/J.K. Rowling's/Rick Riordan's books do. Hunger Games and Catching Fire flowed fairly well, but Mockingjay...not so much.
Well...I will admit to the Gale randomly disappearing without any reason. And it was sad that Finnick died.
I mean, he just got married! Annie was pregnant!
*Sob*
I think the reason I like Mockingjay was because Peeta got hijacked. The rest was... so so. But Peeta got hijacked! And that was what made the book for me
Mod
What can I say? I like it when people have issues with their brains. :D
i hated how at the end Katniss chose to have another Hunger Games. i mean, seriously?!?!?!? didnt she have a hard enough time herself? i didnt know she was so cold
There wasn't another game, Siareen. They talked about it, but they never went through with it.
i think they did but they didn't mention it because it wasn't important to Katniss' story with Peeta
I don't think so. I think after Coin died they decided against it.
One second...
Wikipedia says:
"In the epilogue, Katniss speaks as an adult, more than fifteen years later. She is married to Peeta and they have two children. The Hunger Games are over, but she dreads the day her children learn the details of their parents' involvement in both the Games and the war. When she feels upset, Katniss has taken to reminding herself of every good thing that she has ever seen someone do."
It sounds like the games are completely over.
wikipedia...i'd rather get an actual quote from the book
I don't have the book though. Someone should check that out.
Mod
It's up to you Ebony. :D

Are you sure something isn't wrong with your brain? :D

Yeah I get that. And I do agree. Mockingjay was just not written as smoothly, like you said. And not as well.
Hannah-No, I'm not sure at all.
I'm almost positive I have some sort of issue.
i guess i have to go look for it now. *sigh*
Mod

Gotcha. :D
Mod
Hop to it!
i did look for it, i really did, and i swear, i've seen it this week lying about somewhere, but i can't find it, i'm sorry, if i see it later, i'll look for a good quote.
That is okay. I'll google it and see if anything comes up.
Okay. People. I googled why Katniss and Haymitch voted yes for the Hunger Games and this is something I found that I thought interesting. I assumed that Katniss voted yes so that Coin would think she had her support so that Katniss could shoot her instead of Snow. And when her and Haymitch sort of lock eyes in understanding, Haymitch knew her plan.
Think about it, would Katniss or Haymitch honestly want what happened to them to happen to innocent children? Even if they are from the Capitol. They wouldn't want to kill 23 kids and ruin one's life forever. They've been through too much. Even if I'm reading it wrong and they really were voting for it, I'd still like to think they weren't. It makes me feel better."
oh good, that DOES make me feel better about her.
Me too. I was nervous there for a second.
But I always kind of did like Katniss. Not as much as Prim or Peeta, but I still kind of liked her.
Random thought: Peeta's name makes me think of pita bread. Which suits him seeing as how he is a baker.
Wow, Peeta's on a whole new level now.
Way- I'm pretty sure something's wrong with all of our brains in some way...and I'm pretty sure that was done on purpose.
Oh. Wow, I am slow.
Like really slow.
I mean, I saw it before but it never really registered.
Mod
Hahahha, well, there had to be SOME people who didn't get it until now. lolz
Thank you, Klymene. At least someone understands.
Mod
Mod
For sure.
Peeta....Pita Bread. I totally get it! I never made the connection but u are so right way.
Isn't it wonderful!?*Hugs Peeta tightly*
Have I ever mentioned that I love Peeta? No? Well, I do.
Mod
I like Peeta, too. But Katniss already got him, darn it.
i hate peeta with a passion! but Katniss doesn't deserve even him!
You didn't like Peeta? He was so sweet!
It really was. I loved Prim. It was cruel. And I just think to many people died in the end.
And I just really hated how Katniss changed. What happened to the "do-it-for-you-sister" attitude? She was so lame in Mockingjay....just saying.
