When I finished this book, I felt torn... am I any better than people from the capitol? Was I entertained by the murder and violence of the hunger games? How was my enthrallment with the book any different than how the people in the capitol felt about the games themselves?
I have to read this b4 the movie gets out. I read twilight after the movie and it was so hard to get Kirsten Stewart out of my head with every line Bella had! Super annoying.
HOW DID YOU NOT GO INSANE WAITING FOR CATCHING FIRE? I had a really big problem because I read the series during finals... it didn't go well. I had to use a lot of self control to make myself study, and... I didn't know it would be that good! I wasn't expecting it! I couldn't put it down! Why didn't anyone warn me?!?
I love the hunger games series. My friends read it and we pretend to be the characters. I'm suppose to b gale and that's fine cuz I'm a boy. Also I can't wait for the movie on March 23 so GO HUNGER GAMES AND GALE! And I'm not saying that gale is the best I also like other people. Sorry if I wrote to much but I just love ur review and the HUNGER GAMES!!!
ive been really curious about this book but im a HUGE wuss and things freak me out very easily, even just very emotional or suspenseful stories, do you think this will scare me?
@HannahBearie Some of the sequences during the games might be a little graphic. I would say if you're really put off by reading details of someone getting killed, this may not be for you. if you can get past that though, it's a really good read.
@HannahBearie haha bro.. bro, this is def not that graphic. You want graphic, then read some of Ted Dekkers novels. (Although you Don't want graphic...) The Hunger Games isn't too bad. Collins doesn't describe the 'bad parts' that much. I have read alot of books where they are very, very descriptve and Collins is not that descriptive concerning the gore parts. READ IT! :)
loved the review :) but I do have to say, the romance angle of the book isn't "not serious, and not a major part". It's a huge part of the book.. maybe romance isn't the right word, but the love triangle that's created isn't ridiculous, cheesy, annoying, and stupid (like twilight), it's deep, complicated, and has profound subtleties.
After hearing my friends rave madly about the movie coming out, and recalling that I barely paid attention when watching the trailer months ago, I thought that it's time to see what the fuss was about. The plot was able to entice me for a day, which was how long it took me to read it. I could not describe it either after finishing. But I knew I wanted more, so I picked up Catching Fire in digital format the several moments after i finished THG. Worth the read.
Wow dude your review was very excellent! I also hated Katniss at the beginning, probably for same reasons as you, and I think you did a good job without spoiling anything!
I really like your reviews and enjoyed the book as well.
For some reason most reviewers think they need to act like Jim Carrey in the funniest movie, making up crazy faces and talking weird. So I end up watching a few seconds of their reviews and moving on, trying to find a normal talking guy. lol
I just finished reading the book tis morning. I looked at the movie trailer. Now I'm sooo excited for it to come out! First I didn't get the whole excitement about the movie coming out but now I can't wait! I don't get what you mean with ' I didn't like Katniss' character, didn't like her in the beginning' ?
@criticnic You should definitely check it out if you have the time! It's kind of an oldie and a fairly simple read (first book came out when I was in elementary school- I'm a high school kid now XD) but it's still a thoroughly enjoyable series. First book is Gregor the Overlander, and it makes for an interesting way to pass the time. :D If you're not reading anything at the moment, you ought to try it. ;)
@PoncifyingSince1995 thanks for the info! definitely sounds like something I'd be interested in. and I like that it's a simple read :) I'll have to add it to the list!
The thing I like aboutThe Hunger Games shows that Katniss doesn't need boys to keep herself alive, unlike Twilight where Bella is constantly needing Edward or Jacob.
@ssraper300 Haha, that's my perspective on the Hunger Games, too! I keep looking at it and wanting to buy it, but I love the Gregor series so much that I'm afraid I'll make too many comparisons to take it seriously. (Gregor is one of my all-time favorite series! :D)
I've been thinking a lot of why I love this book so much, when it's about killing people. But I realized it isn't about killing people, it's about finding freedom and hope when all is lost. When it seems you won't stand a chance. The Games is an example of life, you might feel like killing people you hate them so much, you just want to die you don't know what to do. But try your best because you'll always find hope. It's so poetic. That's my idea of the book anyways. :)
Great review!!! I'm actually not a constant reader but when I do read, I tend to not like it if it bores me, do u think even the beginning of this book is good? Is it boring as a whole?
@johnnyv272 not at all! I don't get to read often and don't always finish a book too quickly but this one is hard to put down. thanks for the comment!
love your review :) people either rave about being in love with the main characters and give a boring hateful review, but you addressed all aspects of the novel, thanks! :D
This book was an exciting read, that I also thought was very well written. I couldn't put this book down after I started it. I liked the fact that the plot mainly stayed focused on the action and Katniss' reflection on the meaning of the games, rather than the romance between Katniss and Gale/ Katniss and Peter, which you find in a lot of books which are told from a female perspective. I found the character of Katniss quite relatable and quickly warmed to her. Overall, it's a fantastic book.
@bailandoismylife Pleass don't start this whole rip-off thing on youtube. There are forum for that, and besides Koushun Takami doesn't really seem to care, so it is just the fans who stared this whole thing.
@armygamer97 yes it is i finished all three books in a week. I tried to take my time on them but it was hard and mockingjay best ending to the series alot of twists and then catching fire at the end makes you want to buy the third book to find out what happened lol but then one of the best books is the third book :) and im a guy haha
I didn't actually like this book, I didn't find that much action in it and what action there was was kind of boring cuz it was talking about how she felt about the action not the action itself and I found that kind of boring. Oh well tho that's just insensitive me so don't hate on me for it
@NightshifterXD Maybe becoz the viewpoint lies on Katniss (1st person). Therefore, the action described is based on her understanding. If the author used the 3rd person view, then u would read more on the action in general without perspective.
I've herd about this book quite alot, and since the announcement of the movie I looked into it and now I would like to read this book first now, Thank you for this recomendation. GOOD JOB!
Amazing book. I picked it up for english class when we had to have a choice reading. My friend had told me about it, and now, I freaking love it so much. I always put myself and this girl I like and have dated before into the role of Katniss and Peeta. I am now 90 pages into Catching Fire and it is good as well, not as good as The Hunger Games, but it has just as many twists.
Im like 20 something pages into it in english class (its the book we are reading) and i hated it. Prolly because i didnt quite understand it. But this video gave me a better outlook on the book. Thank you, very helpful.
I love that you're a guy reading this, cuz all my guy friends are like "Why would I read a book narrated by a girl?". But it really appeals to both genders. I LOVE this book. This is one of the few books that I can't stop reading when I've started. I actually stayed up until 6:30 a.m. on a school day reading this becuse I started it at 10:00 the night before. I just couldn't sotp! WHAT A PAGE TURNER!
I finished the book in one day because I just can't put it down! It was such a good book, just loving every details in the story. I reread it for many times and was never bored with it. I can't wait for the movie to come out. Hope it's going to be PG-13 instead of R. I don't deal well with all the blood gushing out of people's arms or legs being pulled out.
@crystalheartu yeah the details were very good. I hope the movie lives up to it. I can't really see them giving it an R since they will lose a lot of their target audience, so I think you'll be good :) Thanks for the comment!
I just realized alot of younger viewers were going to read my post below and wanted to say for those of you who take my advice and read battle royale. Keep in mind it is very disturbing. probably the second most disturbing book ive ever read right behind american psycho (maybe some of Palahniuk's stuff is up there too). just be warned, if hunger games bothered you at all do NOT read Battle Royale.
just finished the first book. it was a fun read but it was shallow. shallow charecters and shallow plot. you dont even see most of the deaths because of the first person narritive. and it panders too much to young girls with its dumb as hell love triangle and dress up sections. READ BATTLE ROYALE! its hunger games for adults. however i can see why younger and/or female readers may prefer hunger games.
@mastakilla64 I still need to check out Battle Royale, saw the movie but haven't read it yet. I'm sure it's better than the movie as that's what the case usually is :) Thanks for the comment.
@criticnic Indeed. in the movie alot of the charecters are just faces to be mowed down. in the book you get to know all of them before they die. the deaths are way more gruesome (could be good or bad), and the ending is way better (makes more sense) in fact the whole reason behind battle royale is better in the book than the movie.
i really like ur review! im a slow reader but i could not but this book down!! stayed up all night & now i have a headace ;p ill start "catching fire" today :)
I have read all three books and I absolutely loved them. I agree that they are really well written. I just couldn't put them down. Even after you finish them, they stay with you and you look at things differently, at least I do. Great review by the way!
I'm in love with these books

I love that you're a guy reading this, cuz all my guy friends are like "Why would I read a book narrated by a girl?". But it really appeals to both genders. I LOVE this book. This is one of the few books that I can't stop reading when I've started. I actually stayed up until 6:30 a.m. on a school day reading this becuse I started it at 10:00 the night before. I just couldn't sotp! WHAT A PAGE TURNER!

yes it also has the same concept as The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, that people are picked in a lottery for some misfortunate, i guess, consequence

I finished the book in one day because I just can't put it down! It was such a good book, just loving every details in the story. I reread it for many times and was never bored with it. I can't wait for the movie to come out. Hope it's going to be PG-13 instead of R. I don't deal well with all the blood gushing out of people's arms or legs being pulled out.

@crystalheartu yeah the details were very good. I hope the movie lives up to it. I can't really see them giving it an R since they will lose a lot of their target audience, so I think you'll be good :) Thanks for the comment!

I just realized alot of younger viewers were going to read my post below and wanted to say for those of you who take my advice and read battle royale. Keep in mind it is very disturbing. probably the second most disturbing book ive ever read right behind american psycho (maybe some of Palahniuk's stuff is up there too). just be warned, if hunger games bothered you at all do NOT read Battle Royale.

just finished the first book. it was a fun read but it was shallow. shallow charecters and shallow plot. you dont even see most of the deaths because of the first person narritive. and it panders too much to young girls with its dumb as hell love triangle and dress up sections. READ BATTLE ROYALE! its hunger games for adults. however i can see why younger and/or female readers may prefer hunger games.

@mastakilla64 I still need to check out Battle Royale, saw the movie but haven't read it yet. I'm sure it's better than the movie as that's what the case usually is :) Thanks for the comment.
criticnic 6 months ago
@criticnic Indeed. in the movie alot of the charecters are just faces to be mowed down. in the book you get to know all of them before they die. the deaths are way more gruesome (could be good or bad), and the ending is way better (makes more sense) in fact the whole reason behind battle royale is better in the book than the movie.

I have read all three books and I absolutely loved them. I agree that they are really well written. I just couldn't put them down. Even after you finish them, they stay with you and you look at things differently, at least I do. Great review by the way!
