The Hunger Games
 

I'm obsessed with this series, I got the last two books yesterday and I read Catching Fire in two sittings. I'll start and finish the last book tomorrow I think.

For people who have never read or heard of it before it's set in the future in a country called Panem which is essentially a future America. Panem's run by the Capitol which is this luxurious city that lords it over the twelve districts which is where the lower class citizens live and work. After a failed rebellion the Capital creates the Hunger Games as which involves taking two kids from each district and pitting them against each other in a battle to the death in an ever changing booby trapped arena. The main character is a girl called Katniss Everdeen who volunteers for the games in place of her younger sister who was originally picked. It's quite similar to Battle Royale but with a very interesting Reality TV twist.

I can't recommend it enough, I think it's a brilliant series.

I've heard loads about this series. I kinda want to read it but im not sure if its my type of book

They are making a film of this

I'll look for it next time I'm shopping.

I'm obsessed with it, it's a very addictive series.

Yeah it's being released next year, I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

I got the trilogy to read for holidays

Need to read these books, heard nothing but good stuff about them.

I can't wait for the film adaptation now although I do fear it being a bit ****.

Read the 3 of them in 5 days, fantastic.

I got the first one for Christmas.. I didn't read though.
But I've heard great things about it!

Read it!!! It's brilliant

I'm mid almost 400 pages into Catching Fire, they keep killing my faves :bored:

I just bought the set of three today (for only £6 :amazed:), shall give them a read when I can

Tsk! I bought the first one for 7.99 :mad: a few weeks ago!

Haven't started it yet though.

They're in "The Works" if you have one of those stores nearby :laugh:

I reckon you'll like them Shaun, the writing style is a bit peculiar at first but they're a pretty good set of books once you get past that.

I finished catching fire :amazed:

I think I preferred The Hunger Games coz I found this one, slightly predictable (At the beginning it was anyway)

Gonna start Mockingjay tomorrow :D

Mockingjay is good, probably the worst one of the lot though.

Imo

The Hunger Games > Mockingjay > Catching Fire

The ending of mockingjay seemed really, idk, flat? It all ended within the space of about 3 pages I was expecting more

Mockingjay has it's moments but i think it's the worst one in the series, It's still good don't get me wrong but I think parts of it were very lazily written.

Yeah, I kinda agree with the latter point, it did seem kinda pointless

omg and when

Yeah, I agree with both of those points

I really want to read this omg gekerjgkjsdnsdngljn

I've just finished Catching Fire and am just about to start Mockingjay. :amazed:

I can't wait for th film now!

I've just started the first book and I'm really enjoying it! :amazed:

-might as well post what i posted on tumblr-

Shaun, I agree with you. I bought the books thinking they were adult fiction, bit on reading them, I reckon they are aimed at teenagers/young adults. My mum and I were just discussing this yesterday funnily enough.

However, its easy reading and a good story... I just hope they don't aim the film at kids and hope they give it at least a 15 rating.

started the first book last night i love et

Finished the first book yesterday. I never expected to finish it so quickly. I enjoyed it sfm.

The writing style is a bit awkward to get used to, it's very....I'm not sure how to explain it. It's very straight foward and the tense it's in takes a bit of getting used to.

I might get the book because of Taylor Swift

It's the sheer simplicity of it. That's what I thought anyway.

You should just get the book because it's awesome! :tongue: It's a really good read. :)

I'm currently in an ongoing war with somebody for the trilogy on Ebay, it ends at 5pm, I swear to god if the ******* sends them to like £20 because he wants to beat me I'l eat him.

I can't wait for the film to come out. *dies*

*cries violently because of*

finished the first book :worship:
