The Hunger Games

[Phillip]

For Christmas, I received the Hunger Games trilogy box set.   I'm barely halfway through the first book because I got busy with school and Track and Field. Since I haven't really been alone lately, I haven't been able to read nude   Anybody else reading any of the books? Have you ever read nude? What's it feel like?

[MERRD]

I've read all of em! Most of it nude, except for the sections I read on the subway or in a cafe, haha.

I think they are really cool. Not my favorite books. I do feel like watching the movie made the book better (for some reason it was hard for me to imagine things, so in that way the movie was a great addition). I'm excited for the second movie to come out.

When it come to reading nude, it's not really different than reading any other thing in the buff. Except for repressing boners when Katniss and Peeta make out. JUST KIDDING.

I only liked the first book (very entertaining), I found the other two to be badly written rehashes of the first one and the movie bored me (I didn't even finish it).

I liked the books, all three of them.  They aren't high literature but so what.  They are entertaining, have likeable characters and make the reader want to know how the bad guys get theirs in the end.  It is young adult literature so if you lack one of those criteria the books might not be for you.  I haven't seen the movie yet;  as I've commented elsewhere I find most movie treatments lacking.

I really enjoy the hunger games series. I really identify with Peeta Mellark and his personality.

I actually read the book first before I saw the movie so I could have a better understanding of the basic layout of the story. I found like with most book movies the book to be better, but id still watch the movie anyway for Katniss. Such a great series though.

I cant wait for Catching Fire to be released.

I really enjoyed this series...would recommend it to anyone...
couldn't put books 1 and 3 down...book 2 was just ok.

I read through them pretty quickly, but they were good for entertainment! I really liked the story. I wasn't too happy with the end of Mockingjay though...

What bothered you?

This contains spoilers, so beware:

I thought that the story with District 13 and Coin was very predictable. I was also upset with Primrose's fate and disappointed by the relationship that Katniss was in at the end. In my mind, she made the wrong choice there.

Of course, it's the exact same story as the other 2 books.

I thought your beef would be with the vote scene at the end, it's what most people seem to criticize. However that scene is actually great and very subtle (probably the only one in the book) and it's easy to miss what it really means.

There's also the "blink and you'll miss it deaths" that suck in the last book. You aren't supposed to kill important characters in a one-liner.

Well, since you know so much about how these things should be done why don't you write a trilogy and make as much money as Suzanne Collins did with hers.  That'll show her!

And that amateur who wrote Twilight, I'm sure he can teach her a thing or two
