The Hunger Games

okay i need intell. i am debating whether or not i should read Hunger Games. Dont spoil the book or anything but what do you think of it

Read It!!

Read the first, it's the best, but the third sucked and the second was so-so. The sequels did not live up to the first, which was amazing.

(Starts chanting)Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it. Read it! Read it!! READ IT!!!

*joins in with the chant* read it!

and in my opinion the second and third were better.

I really loved all of them. It's impossible to pick a favorite.

Alright thanks everyone

I would rank them:

Hunger Games 1st
Mockingjay 2nd
Catching Fire 3rd

i would rank them

mockingjay
catching fire
hunger games

after rereading them all....the cave scenes (in HG) really ruined the whole book for me.

For me it's...

Hunger games
Catching Fire
Mockingjay

its amazing how different everyone is but yet still alike in a way

true. :)

I also might change my opinion after I
1. Re read the series
2. See the hunger games movie.

why would seeing the movie change your opinion of the books?

I don't know, maybe if the movie for catching fire is really really good I will have a better picture of it than the one o came up with. So maybe I will like catching fire more than hunger games.

Read them!

^I've never thought of it that way. I REALLY hope that the movie is good. So far, it seems like it will be.

My ranking is:
Hunger Games
Catching Fire
Mockingjay

I agree with #16

Alright well i finished all of the books and i absolutly loved them all!!!!!
Hunger Games was my favorite, really the order of the books is the order of my favorites.

really? for me it went:
1.) Hunger games
2.) Mockingjay
3.) Catching Fire
as much as i hated the ending of Mockingjay, catching faire really was a terrible book. i was very confused

I did like the whole element of past champions and the clock thing. I think the 75th hunger games was much more a thinking game and less brute strength than the first one.

why were you confused flan?

I agree with mrmcfluff and #21:
there was to much physiological stuff for me. I also got the players confused and how the book ended confused me. Like what was with the whole electrocuting the lake thing? and who died doing it? were they a good guy or a bad guy or did we not know?

See with the first book I can pretty much recall any seen. In the second one everything is kinda foggy, so I totally get what your saying flan.
Do you guys like being challenged when you read a book or would you rather just have an easy read??

I love the challenge of a book that demands your full attention. You think that Catching Fire was complicated? It has nothing on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Talk about having to pay attention during a book. It was such a delicious read!

huh. I feel the same way with Agatha Christie books but hers are much more intriguing. I do enjoy murder mysteries very much.

HUNGER GAMES MOVIE UPDATE:
SEE # 227 IN THE "JUST CHATTING" TOPIC!!!!!!!
