Okay, so Peeta is to Edward, while Gale is to Jacob. I always like the sensitive guy. :)
Anyway, this is my Hunger Games post. Where I say just how incredibly amazing this book is. Well, random thoughts would be more appropriate. *spoiler alert*
And so here goes:
- After reading the first 2 books last year, I thought, “This is the best thing since Harry Potter!”
- I’ve been trying to get people to read it, but it’s a bit difficult to explain that the whole book is about children killing children on national television. Sure, it’s a lot more than that, but the premise does sound violent. I did convince a few friends and, like always, I bugged my siblings to read it. (They love the series, by the way.Yey!)
- Waiting a long time for Mockingjay was not very easy. And I was a bit disappointed after reading the last book. =s
- Don’t get me wrong, I liked how it ended and how it somehow reflects what goes on after wars and how people cope after all the trauma. But see, the problem is that I was waiting for something big to happen in the end. I was waiting for an epic ending. Instead, after the big explosion (parachutes scene), it was one anti-climactic scene after another. Add that to the fact that the story took so long to build up. Or maybe my expectations were just way to up there?
- Why did Prim have to die?! :(
- The epilogue wasn’t creative, but at least we know who ended up together. :)
- Catching Fire is, hands down, the most exciting book (and my favorite in the series). I love the Quarter Quell concept. But it was Hunger Games that made me cry. (Rue!)
- My favorite character is Haymitch. :)
- I hate that they make movies out of the books right away, so a lot of people just skip reading and just wait for the movies =( But I’m still excited for the movie!haha
- They better get a good cast(like they did with Harry Potter!).Like they keep saying, Hugh Laurie would make a great Haymitch :) Peeta better be cute!haha
- They keep comparing this book to the Battle Royale . Must find that book/manga/movie sometime.
- Now that the series has ended, what’s next? :) Might give in to peer pressure and read Fallen. haha ;)
