IT'S SOOOOOO SAD!!!!!!!"

I was literally sobbing in the 19 years later part. I still do whenever I reread.


Lilly S Yeah. I read this in third grade and loved it and then reread it. And then I forgot almost everything about it. I need to do a reread lol


Shubham Raj (memberofspew) | 268 comments I hate when people start spitting out their opinions without reading it themselves. Hunger games has one of the most interesting stories I have read till date in the YA genre.

I relate to the characters not because they are going for a bloodbath but because they show a strong portrayal of the human feelings like fear, nervousness, anxiety, anger, love, etc.

I have had a few problems with the books but that was with the writing style. The books could have been more show not tell but other than that the were literally awesome.

I was so engrossed in the third book that I completed it in two days. One of my other friends read it in a day.


Lilly S Hmmm. Tbh I really didn’t like the third book, but that was also a while ago and I do need to do a reread, so idk


Lilly S Honestly music in those types of movies are usually really bad, so probably not


Lilly S Alright will listen to it. Yeah, just I remember a lot of just like sound effects turned into songs so I wasn’t really sure

I have had my own problems with the books as I said, but I liked the series overall and wanted to see the outcome as soon as possible.

I like The Hanging Tree song


Lilly S As I told you, I remember almost nothing about this series. I love that song


Zoeisbookhooked This is my favorite serried and I’m obsessed with it. I’m from District 11. Rue shouldn’t have died nor Finnick and Prim. And I’m in love with Peeta. There we go😂
Oh and sad to say I i didn’t cry at Prims death


☀︎El In Oz☀︎ (elinoz) Ahh I love these books! And the new one is also a really good book(in my opinion)!


Lilly S I'm not super happy with my results but I got district three and that's probably the truest. Idk


Elise | 25 comments I read the hunger games at the start of this year and I really enjoyed the series. I was spoiled because I watched the movies first though. What did you think of the movies?
I’m district 11 btw:)

shea I had something similar happen to me... when I was a bit younger I watched EVERY SINGLE CLIP from EVERY SINGLE MOVIE including mockingjay. I found out about all the deaths before I had finished the series. :(

shea Yeah!


kennedy [mackenzie] I'm from District 4 somehow


message 19: by shea (new) - rated it 5 stars

shea Oh aha


Lilly S I also like the first one better, the second was disappointing compared to the first but it was still okay, and then the third was horrible in my opinion


Hayden (thewiltedpetal) | 609 comments The second is my favorite. The first one is typical. And I hate the third book.
Team Gale all the way

Lilly S I'm for Peeta. Sorry, but I hate Gale. I love how this is a big argument all over GR. Makes for good debating. I think it would be interesting to see what the results would be if we had this whole group vote


☀︎El In Oz☀︎ (elinoz) I love them all equally!


Lilly S It depends on how much you like Gale but yeah that's what I think


Hayden (thewiltedpetal) | 609 comments Peeta deserved so much better.
Gale was perfect for her

Lilly S Part of the reason I hate Gale so much is that he sucked in Catching Fire and then in Mockingjay there was no way to disremember that and he was still pretty horrible in that book too


message 27: by shea (new) - rated it 5 stars

shea I can get that. I’m team Katniss :)

The ending was gut wrenching honestly.


Dorothy | 120 comments I really love the Hunger Games- it's one of those books you read when you're just plain bored with the world.


message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

Agreed!

Sofia (sofloaf) | 3641 comments I didn't really love THG because it was kind of bland and the characters weren't great. But I liked the fast pacing, so I guess it was okay. Definitely overhyped, though.

Ayla (storiesandfolklore) | 4715 comments I loved it a lot more when I first read it. Katniss is kind of flat, Peeta is cardboard, and Gale is moody and annoying. CLOVE IS THE BEST AND RUE IS AMAZING TOO. I ship Katniss x herself.


Shawna Finnigan (sugoishawn) | 224 comments I love this series so much! Finnick is my absolute fav!! I haven't read the new book yet and I'm honestly a little scared to read it. I've heard so many people say it's bad...


Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version) | 821 comments I haven’t read the new book as well and yes, Finnik is one of my favorite characters too! *sobs*


vanessa (vanessasbookshelff) I have read the first two books and i'm going to buy the third one. When i finished Catching Fire, i was in complete shock.


Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version) | 821 comments Yess I agree! But make sure to prepare some napkins when you start Mockingjay.


vanessa (vanessasbookshelff) i always prepare napkins before reading😂


Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version) | 821 comments And that’s a good habit. I usually forget and end up with my clothes wet from tears.


vanessa (vanessasbookshelff) yes that happens when i forget to prepare them

Cale Johnson (on hiatus) (nerdywhiteboy) | 16 comments if this series made me hate anything it was the love triangle trope.

and a really hate Gale (sorry, not sorry) bc I thought he was an a** in the third book and annoying in the second :/
If he really loved Katniss he I think he should've fought harder for her


Lilly S YES THANK YOU CALE 👏

If he real..."


NOOOO! Much to others' surprise, I LOVE Gale and felt he should have ended up with Katniss. I feel that way as I watched the movie first and the movie made him so amazing but Peeta like a side character, just clingy to Katniss and bringing her down. Gale just wanted to make a good future for the next generation of Panem and was a little fiery but deserved more than what little love he received.


Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version) | 821 comments Yesss @Tisha I agree with u!!!

Luna (luna13) | 93 comments I really liked the first one, the second was meh, but the third one was downright awful. And I couldn't even get through the prequel.


message 48: by NA (new) - rated it 3 stars

NA I like the first book and then I read the second book will got halfway through it and then got bored because anther book was drawing my attention so I just never pick the second book up again


Tisha (On partial hiatus) | 99 comments The second book was my fav and the first book was fine and the last one was a little meh just cause I expected an epic battle but was disappointed with nothing :/
