I'm 12 years old and I'm not weak, if anything I have more of the mind set of katniss other then rue or prim, (even though I do agree with Suzanne Collins cause most ppl i know who r my age wouldn't stand a chance in the games)
I think she is right about the strong being obligated to help the weak. My father once told me, and excuse my freanch because this is a direct quote. "Being a man doesn't depend on how much weight you can lift or how much ass you can kick. I know dudes who can lift all kind of weight and kick all kinds of ass but wouldnt give a squirt of piss to save a life. Those arn't men. You see an old lady who needs a seat you get up and give her yours. See someone who needs help, help em." He's a wise man.
HUNGER GAMES WAS GREAT BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO ALSO ADMIRE SUSANNE FOR THE UNDERLAND CHRONICLES, AN EQUALLY TERIFFIC FANTASY SERIES. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ T.U.C. YET PLEASE DO!!!! IT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED BUT IT IS AS GOOD AS IF NOT BETTER THAN HUNGER GAMES!!!! THANK YOU SUSANNE FOR WRITING THESE EIGHT MASTERPIECES!!! I HOPE SHE DOES ANOTHER SERIES!!!
@NinjaShadow8 Yes I read the Underland Chronicles when they first came out and I absolutely LOVED them(:..Suzanne Collins has been my favorite author for many years, even before I started reading Harry Potter:)
I love how she manages to balance the emotional and the realistic(read: blood and death) parts in her books. Since the balance is so nice - it really doesn't get too cheesy when she says that Katniss' best attribute is her compassion. Because c'mon, usually that shit is cheesy.
the amazing part is that all the books were amazing,
thats why i HATE it when people compare it to twilight because honestly some of the books were so boring, but all the hunger games books kept you reading
now that I think about it, Suzanne is very right. Our country has become almost numb to war. People in the hunger games are so use to the deaths of these kids each year that it's becoming more of a tradition, something that's normal. It's only real for the parents of the children lost... and that goes for the parents of soldiers too. There's a parallel between the book and war and she's made that very clear.
Its amazing how much I love both books! I stayed up at night because of them and I dreamed about them all the time. I never want them to end, but you can only go so far with this plot.
P.S. I ABSOLUTELY WANT PEETA AND KATNISS TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER!!!!
@pekeniseRthebest katniss-gale, thats what i wanted to, but funnily enough, halffway throughj mockingjay for some reason i changed my mind but i don't like how it ended with gale looking like a jerk
@fashionbug9880 I posted that comment a year ago. I read Mockingjay. You'd be surprised how many replies I got "spoiling" the book for me xD. It's fine though :D I'm actually surprised it's still a top comment :D
wow thats awesome!! ps. what are the underland chronicles. I read the hunger games and catching fire with no swear. would i be ale to read the underland chronicles?
I know i want it so bad!!, i also wanted to get one of the Mockingjay pins available at Borders, but i couldn't :/ because i don't live in the states and you can only get them at the stores :(

@bronzekitty26
hehe same! but i think i loved Catching Fire more because there were more surprises and Peeta and Katniss moments.
and i think that Mockingjay should be like 700 pages long...
cuz i always stay up all night reading even whenn im rereeading.
and Katniss and Peeta have to be together... they are kjust so meant for each other, Gake is more liek a Brother.
