I am so in love with this book. I could say I love it equal to Twilight, maybe more. Im expecting the movie to be amazing.
Mod
Trust me, read it. Make it your next book.
Is it nice? I can't wait to buy it!!
I have read it and it was amazing! At first I was a little weirded out by the hunting and crazy dystopian world but before I knew it I stay up all night reading it!
I could not stop reading it either. I adore Peeta, he is just gorgeous. I am halfway through second book and I think Im going to be up very late. I cant wait fir the movie....I may pee my pants, too exciting!@ Marian, Im telling you, you will love it.
If you loved The Hunger Games give Divergent by Veronica Roth a try. I liked it even more than The Hunger Games!! Sooo good!

Thank god its the weekend so I can read Mockingjay.
Yes Hunger Games has given me a new love for dystopian books and I just finished Matched and I loved Divergent. I am about to read Wither and Across the Universe next.

Who is excited for the movie and what do you think of the casting so far?
Jody wrote: "Who is excited for the movie and what do you think of the casting so far?"I am very excited for the movie!! I think the casting looks great.
Mod
I too loved Divergent much better than the Hunger Games and I highly recommend Across the Universe it was a really great read too
Mod
I've read the entire series and I loved the first two books and for me I wanted to throw Mockingjay across the room ... this book really frustrated me but it hasn't deterred me from wanting to see the movies I can't wait to see those
I have read them all now too. I loved the last one, but the ending was so quick, I just felt like it needed more. More on Gale, that annoyed me big time! I cant even speak of Prim and Finnick. I had alot of questions still.Why have so much happen in the end, and give us so little. So I loved it but share your view.
Jody wrote: "I have read them all now too. I loved the last one, but the ending was so quick, I just felt like it needed more. More on Gale, that annoyed me big time! I cant even speak of Prim and Finnick. I ha..."I agree I think the ending was rushed and was totally not a fair ending for Gale. I at least needed another conversation between them. I prefered him but I understand why Katniss ended up with Peeta but I at least wanted them to remain friends and speak and work through it.

That was it. I was in tears. I think perhaps there was too much cramped into one book. The Epilogue, only one and half pages long (which I had to read 3 times) in itself could have been another book. I wonder if they called their little girl Prim. I did read somewhere that there will be 4 movies. So hopefully they will give us a little more.
Mod
Well I know my fiance wont be happy with four movies because it means Im not going to shut up for the next four years. I cant wait until March.....hurry up
Mod
What do you think of the casting. Josh Hutcherson was not how I pictured Peeta but he is growing on me as long as he stays true to Peetas character. I read that lenny kravitz is going to play Cinna....very cool. I love the casting for Katniss and Gale.
Mod
Im dying for a first glimpse of the preview. Love to see who Finnick will be. I wonder if there will ever be another book.
One of the casting agents was quoted as saying "Kravitz did the best in terms of embracing the tension between Katniss and Cinna." Umm WHAT?! I have a bad feeling about that ...
Mod
I love Finnick so I too am curious to see who will be playing him...as for another book I don't think there will be

I dont think there will be another book either...I was just dreaming for a bit. It would be nice to hear about Gale again. The more I talk about the book, the more frustrated I end up. Still love it too bits though.
Mod
I LOVED the first book. It was just amazing. I couldn't stop reading it.The second and third were still good, but I felt like they stretched the concept a little too far. By the time the end of the third one came around, I was kind of tired of them. I'll probably read them again later to see if they're better a second time.
Hunger Games movie sneak peak on MTV VMAs. I will be watching in the morning. Live 10am here in aus.
The sneak peek was quite short... but I guess they have to get the word out about the movie. Gave absolutely no clue about what the movie would look like, but it comes out in March! How exciting!
I know it was the shortest sneak peak ever. Such a tease. No Peeta or Gale, that is what I was hoping for. I agree, how exciting.
You'd think they could show a little more by now, considering it's out in about six months. :/BUT I DON'T CARE I LOVE KATNISS :D
I think there will be more to come real soon, well thats what Im telling myself. I want to see some of Peeta and Gale, although we will not see as much of Gale in this first movie. Loved the first book!
I'm glad Gale has a smaller part in all of the books. After Mockingjay I can barely stand to say (or type) his name!! Can't wait to have someone to boo at! Jk... I only do that to Jacob from Twilight ;)
I've read them all :) All three are great, but I think the first one is GOOOOOOD!! the best of the three :)
My fav is the second one Catching fire...and i thought Mockingjay was a bit melodramatic...but i looove this series its amazing!
I absolutely loved this whole series and can't wait for the movie next March. I just hope they don't pull a twilight with it and totally ruin it.I gave this series to my 14 yr old nephew for Xmas last year and he read them in 10 days. He absolutely loved them as well.
Not sure which is my favourite, I loved them all.
Barnes and Noble and Amazon have the ebook trilogy for $4.38 right now.
I saw that! I bought it again even though I already have the trilogy, lol. Here's the link for the lazy: http://j.mp/nOx5xB
Lol! I had the first one but for that price duplicates are fine with me.
The first book is one of my favorite books! Dont any other guys like this series?!
Mod
I felt like the third book was a lot more emotionally raw. At the end of the first book, I still felt a little better about the ending, though it was still kind of sad but by the end of the third book you feel like you've gone through so much more with Katniss that you just feel emotionally spent. At least that's how I did. Also, in the first book, only one of the characters I'm invested in dies but in the third, Prim and Finnick die. What did people think when Katniss killed Coin? Did anyone see that coming?
I've read all three books. My favorite book though was Catching Fire. It was amazing!
i just saw the trailer for Hunger Games on t.v.!!!!
I can't wait for the movie!
