The Hunger Games

I am going to try and give my view on The Hunger Games. I can't do a review from the beginning until the end, so I am going to randomly post my thoughts.
First let me say I never would have read these if a friend had not asked me to read them, but I am glad she did.

Here we go...


The Hunger Games
•What first drew me in was just the anticipation of what was going to happen next. I never wanted to put the book down. I spent every minute I could reading.
•First you had a story about a young girl (Katniss), who lived with her sister and mother. She would sneak out and crawl under an electric fence that was sometimes charged and sometimes not.
•Katniss' relationship with Gale was something that I loved from the beginning. I was just waiting for their relationship to take off and maybe get a kiss out of them. The stuff they ate was just gross! But you have to think that they are hunting for their food. They are not just going to eat a McDonald's hamburger!
•Then you had this crazy idea of the annual Hunger Games come up. It just seemed crazy to make the people pay for what they did years ago, by this type of game. I was glad when Katniss stepped up for Prim. I could not imagine Prim, so young going into those games. She would have never made it.
•I hated to see Rue being killed.
•This Peeta dude, just never sat well with me. I wanted Katniss to love and be with Gale.
•Their prep teams reminded me of something that you would see in Hollywood on awards night.
•I kept relating the actual games to a camping trip. Except for someone trying to kill you.
•I was glad Katniss and Peeta both made it back home safe. Well Peeta only had one leg, but he was alive never the less.

Catching Fire
•I almost stopped reading, because it was getting boring.
•I wanted the visits to each district to be exciting, but the only people excited were the individuals who lived there. They loved seeing "The Girl On Fire".
•I hated that Katniss and Peeta had to act like they were in love. Peeta loved Katniss, but she had a while to go. She kept thinking about Gale and their days in the woods hunting.
•For some reason Haymitch reminded me of my pawpaws brothers. They were always drunk! So I pictured him to be a talk, slinder, dark tanned man.
•Effie would have gotten on my nerves with her "Big, big, big day" talking.
•President Snow was just evil!
•Then you have the "Quarter Quell". I was like...what the heck....They just got done going through war and now you want them to go back and fight until death AGAIN! But this time it would be Peeta or Haymitch going. Peeta volunteered for Haymitch, so he and Katniss were going again.
•This time it was like who cares, we done this once we can do it again.
•The arena was awesome! I loved the tick, tock quote. And the way each disaster would come like a clock was pretty good. Glad they figured it out.
•You know I was not upset when Peeta was not breathing. All I could think of was that it was one less person for her to kill and that she could finally be with Gale.
•I love the force field. I would be fun to throw things at.
•I am so glad that someone on the inside was trying to over throw the Capital.
•There is no District 12! But the important people are alive

Mockingjay
•Mainly this book is about payback.
•Everyone from the districts now lived in District 13. Which they said earlier was not there.
•Hated to see Prim die. I wish we could have known a little more about her.
•Katniss should have shot an arrow through Snow's head when she had the chance in the rose garden. Then when she gets the chance, she kills Coin.
•NOOOOO!!!! I wanted Katniss to be with Gale!
•The last part was really sweet. When Katniss was talking about her kids with Peeta. Something she never wanted.

Real or Not Real? These books are good?
