The Hunger Games trilogy

Right, off to attempt to get some reading done on my lunch... Wish me luck!

I hope you do dude! I want you to get to the end of the first book to see what you think. I wanna compare notes

Also, I found the 2nd book a little harder to get into than the first? Anyone else? I guess I'm a good few chapters in.. well over a third of the way through, and I can see the need to set things up though. Interesting!!

So I guess I am the only person in the whole world who hasn't read the book or seen the film yet? Feels lonely.

I read pretty fast anyway, but the train journeys have helped. Am very keen to see how the film matches up now though.

Wait for me!!!!!

Just got to the third part, it's real interesting now. Gonna go borrow my friend's copy of the second book later.

It's a bit slow in the beginning but.. All the tears the second book brought me though!

I actually tried to buy the first book, but I couldn't find it in English here. Makes no sense to order it now because I'll be leaving soon. Maybe when I'm in Europe? I also don't like reading from a computer screen.

Just finished the first book, definitely left on a cliffhanger.

Of course it does, because you have to keep reading So, what did you think of it?

I'm on chapter 15. I've had no time to actually get any reading done this week. I am determined to finish it today or tomorrow though.

It's good. I've started the second already lol.

One if the girls at work has been reading the last book and I got an extremely funny angry text about a late book 3 plot point. It was a WTF point for me when I read it too so I got a great laugh and sent apologies. This is cryptic but I don't want to ruin anything yet I still needed to share.

Finished the second book. 24 hours or so for it?

To the 3rd.

Haha, Mike, you are so sucked in

This is so sad and beautiful!

Aw, that's just... *lip quivers*

I'm still annoyed by the unrealistic archery nonsense in films though. Lol.

I'm just watching about every interview there is with jennifer lawrence on youtube.
That girl is hilarious!!

She's a PR nightmare. And she has this pathological need to say the word "pee" in every interview

But i like that. I like that she doesn't fit and that she just doesn't give a fuck if what she's saying is appropriate or not. It's entertaining

Yep she's a champ. And so different from Katniss!

Okay, the books were pretty awesome after about chapter six of the first. Just finished the third book, as easy as the read was, it was quite good at painting the picture. Quite good at writing insanity.

I agree with the guy Isa was talking to that the movie was made for 15 year old girls and I'm a 16 year old girl. I read the hunger games like two years ago and I just feel the movie could of brought more to the table. I think that's because I just finished re reading the first book on Thursday and watched the movie on Friday so I was just comparing it too much with all the information fresh in my mind. Overall the movie was decent. It just missed a few points that I wish it included.
