The Hunger Games Reviews

I was forced into watching Mockingjay: Part II this weekend. To clarify, I watched the second part of the last Hunger Games movie without having read any of the books, without having watched any of the movies.

Needless to say, I was confused as fuck.

So many questions and thoughts ran through my mind as I watched the movie. Why is Peeta so thin? Did that huge-ass bruise really disappear from her neck the next day? Is Katniss supposed to look like she's about to burst into tears at any given moment, or is that just Jennifer Lawrence? Woody Harrelson is in this movie? Hey, it's Margaery from Game of Thrones! Who's President Snow? What's a Mockingjay? Lesser Hemsworth is pretty hot.

Well, you get the point. I know how the book ended and I still have no idea who anyone is, and neither do I know their names, with the exception of Peeta, Gale, President Snow, that Coin woman, and Katniss. Of course, knowing how the book ended means I probably should read the first book, so here I am, the last person on earth to read The Hunger Games.

And it was good. It was really good. My sister was right (she usually is).

What else can I say that hasn't already been said? I loved it. The world building was interesting (although it helps that I've seen what it looks like on the big screen), and Katniss is awesome. One of the things my sister didn't like about the first movie is that the on-screen Katniss was different from her portrayal in the first book. I haven't watched that movie, but I kind of see how the screen portrayal of Katniss might have bothered her. Book-Katniss is strong, kick-ass without being a Mary Sue. She has a fierce love for her sister, and she is manipulative and cunning. She uses the prospect of romance to protect herself, she has no qualms about using people, and I love that about her.

The first novel in this series is by far my favorite. It's gripping and real, without being too rough. Katniss puts a courage above all other emotions, and is mature beyond her years. The classic love triangle is done in a new way that makes it hard to see which way is the right way, if there is one at all.

I love Hunger Games.It's a well written and easy to read. I can't even put it down while I'm reading this book.The action,drama,a little bit of romance and the mysteriousness of this books what drown me in.It's not like any other book that I've read so far. Definitely one of my fave books and by the way my favorite scene was in the cave.

This book was unlike anything I've read before. It kept me up until the wee hours of the morning because I just couldn't stop reading. You'll find yourself thinking about the characters long after you finish the book. I'm so excited that it is going to be made into a movie.
