The book is violent yes, but have you also noticed that the kids who are messed up tend to be the ones who don't read in the first place? And this book doesn't encourage violence, it does just the opposite. It shows what the world could come to if the violence and twisted ways of the human race aren't acted upon in a positive way. The kids are the future of humanity, and at this point we don't have time to make more wrong decisions like our elders have. This book shows how wrong vio
What kind of sick and twisted mind conjures up these kinds of horrors against children? And Scholastic is the publisher? And there's a movie in the works? Is it any wonder why so many kids are messed up?
i wish she didnt rush the end and just wrote another book but i guess it was meant to create more mystery and allow us to imagine our own outcomes and moments but still i just need MORE!!
@itssplendiferous Also the fact that Kat wasn't given the chance to chose b/t Peeta and Gale. Peta was just there and she thought "hey, why not? There's no one else I'm allowed to come in contact with. Not my mom, and certainly not Gale". I'm neither team gale or team peeta (I like them both), but I wish Kat could have gotten a chance to make the choice. Not a choice by default.
yuck twiligh!!! that doent even compare to greatness its like the hunger games is the capital and Twighlight is the dust on a peice of coal in district 12!! GO HG i love u!!!!!!
The ending of mocking jay was aweful, I thought she would just kill Snow then there would have travel between districts, then she marries Peeta, doesn't hate gale, all good friends (Gale, Finnick, Peeta, Katniss, Prim etc.) Gale finds wife everyone happy
@DaSoggyWaffles One of my friends said, "What else did you expect from The Hunger Games? It's very good but also very dark." I really started thinking about it and realized that it did deserve a very empty and bittersweet ending because, you wouldn't have expected the ending in a million years. But some part of me does wish that what you said actually did happen.
@DaSoggyWaffles I don't think, considering the nature of the book, a happy ending would have suited. It's like how veterans are never the same after a war. Katniss and everyone else could never truly be "happy" because of what they went through (internal and emotional scars and whatnot). I don't mean to shoot down your opinion, but I believe a happy ending would have ruined the whole book and shoved it's message/theme down the toilet. To me, its a realistic and amazing ending.
@itssplendiferous Well, in that sense the ending would be a great one for the novel but there were other things that bothered me about it. I feel like it should have left off a little more "hope" at the end of the novel. Going back to live in a secluded graeyard town doesn't give me that feeling of hope. It doesn't necessarily have to be a happy ending but one that'll make you think long after you've read it.
@SamueLPowerS88 It's cool. :) Although I do wonder why it's called "Mockingjay." Since the concept of the mockingjays are used in "The Hunger Games" AND "Catching Fire," what specific significance will it have in the final book? Aww man, I can't wait for August! DX
She is the best author ever!! she is better than stephanie meyers and suzannes books are better than twilight saga!! these books are amazing i read the book 50000 times and its not boring i litterly cried at rues death I LOVE YOU PEETA!!!
These books have been incredible so far. YA novels are mostly just fun, easy reads, but this trilogy goes above and beyond what's typically expected of this type of genre. Can't wait for book 3. The rumored title is 'The Victors'. Anyone know how true that is? =]
i know...,i am thinking of rue...,and of cato...(i feel bad for him...),and i feel bad for foxface...,and i feel bad for thresh......,i feel bad for em all!!!!!!!!!!!
Gregor the Overland completely left a mark on my childhood and now as a young adult I'm thrilled to read The Hunger Games.
