Aly Did you guys like the first book better or the second one? I say first.


message 2: by Dee (new) - rated it 5 stars

Dee I agree, the first. I still loved them all though regardelss :)


WinterRose They're both basically the same thing. The first was much better. The second..waste of time. And annoying. The president planning their wedding? lmao Ridiculous.


Obi loves Chewy I loved both so to chose the first one idk still I read them a while ago


Brooke Hunger Games..and Mockingjay. I liked Catching Fire, but I think the first and last books are the best in this trilogy.


Allison Hunger Games was, no doubt, the best of the three. The rest weren't as good, though they were good in their own way.


Brianna The Hunger Games was my favorite! The best of all. I don't know, the books kind of went downhill from there. I didn't like Mockingjay at all!


The Unicorn Riding Faerie[Vee] Catching Fire was wayyyy better for me than Hunger Games.


LiteraryMary95 Hunger Games was better, but Mockingjay had some cool military combat where Katniss worked with Gale. Where he seemed to be a bit described better than Peeta in many aspects.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i like the hunger games, but i LOVE Catching Fire. to me it is the perfect mixture between the first and second book.

Patrí First book is better!


Karli They were all amazing!


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey Karli. Have you read the 3rd?


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i think the third one was great!


Karli I am almost done with it!!

message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

Yah I am too... it is amazing!


Karli Yep!! I am in love with the series! I was in love with the Twilight series but after reading this I am like who cares about vampires!!

OMG I DO TOO!


message 21: by Kadi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kadi I say the Hunger Games because Catching Fire was kind of hard to get into at first. But in Hunger Games a lot of what was in the book was how good the Capitol's food was.


Night Goddess I think Catching Fire was better than the Hunger Games but I love the entire trilogy!!!!

Liz The first one was definitely the best.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles the first book was a bit boring. but i read the second one (my favorite) because my teacher said it was good, which it was.


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

I think the 1st had much more action than the 2nd


message 26: by Modi (new) - rated it 3 stars

Modi Ramos First, hands down.


Erika I liked Catching Fire more.


LiteraryMary95 I prefer the Hunger Games over Catching Fire because Catching Fire seemed a little dull in the arena, while the 1st book had more action in the arena


Rebecca The Hunger Games, nothing more need be said


Maritza I liked the first book.

Exactly what i said. I think that even mockingjay has the least action (so far)


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

I personnaly liked The Hunger Games better, the most engrossing of the three I think. Mockingjay was hopelessly depressing and I got desperately confused at some parts. Also Katniss got whiny in the start of Catching Fire.


Nilofar I like Catching Fire better because we got to know the other previous victors and we got to meet my favorite character, Finnick Odair. I loved Hunger Games too, but for some reason I liked Catching Fire better.


message 34: by James (new)

James Catching Fire was better because we got to learn about more of the character's past and we got to meet previous victors of The Hunger Games.


Charisma I liked the first book the best. IT could have been a good stand alone book too. The rest, is just 'another way to get more money' in my opinion.


message 36: by Ever (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ever The Hunger Games was MUCH better than Catching Fire.


message 37: by Kat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kat I liked the Hunger Games better. I still loved Catching Fire but the first book was better. And Mockingjay was disappointing in my opinion.

Completely agree. Mockingjay was terrible in comparison to the first two.


Karen Hunger games!!!!!!! i found myself zoning out a lot during catching fire


Amanda While I loved all 3 books, the Hunger Games for me will always be the best. I know they take part in the games in the second book as well, but it's a lot different and the emotion and hopelessness of it all is way more palpable in the 1st. I found it more exciting as well and that I couldn't wait to read the next chapter.


message 41: by Jodi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Jodi The Hunger Games. The first book was the best for me. Catching Fire was great too though. :)


Anastasia I liked the first more, but Finnick was in CF, so that makes it a harder decision.

I guess most of us feel that way.

Exactly! I completely agree with you. I was SO irritated with Mockingjay.

yeah he was one of my favorite characters too. if he had ben in the 1st book, that would be awesome


lorin ✨ I liked them both, but The Hunger Games was my favourite. The pain and emotion was fresher - i think as the books went on, Katniss' numbness just overpowers and makes the book a little less raw.

I liked Mockingjay because the uprising was so interesting but I feel like Katniss could have had a little more emotion...

I know, right? :)


Melissa Well, I love them both... but I prefer The Hunger Games, simply because Catching Fire, even if still great, in some parts was too similar to THG.
But I totally loved the addition of Finnick and Johanna, I think they're great characters! :)
