Ok, I've only just finished the first part of "Hunger Games," but I'm so excited that I thought I would post some of my initial reactions. This book is awesome! I love the humor at the beginning, of the relationship between the cat, Buttercup, and Katniss, that really pulled me in. I identify with her easily, to the point where I was almost surprised when she ended up in the Hunger Games, that's how wrapped up I was. It should have been obvious. Also, I just love Peeta. I found myself having the same issue as Katniss, I did not want to get too attached to him, since he is likely to die. And what about Rue? Will the three band together and escape the games? Thank God this is a YA book, so nothing too terribly awful should happen. I hope. So good!
I'm so wrapped up in it, I think I'll take a break from reading because I don't want it to end, but I really want to know what will happen! What will happen when she realizes that she is in love with Gale? Well, he is certainly in love with her. Will she have to choose between Peeta and Gale, or has she been in love with Peeta all along, and only sees Gale as a best friend? I love Cina, he is such a mysterious and fascinating character, and I love the design of the rich city, and the comparison of the two ways of life. This book is deep, engrossing, and ridiculously entertaining. I don't want it to end. Unlike Katniss, I have absolutely no problem gushing.

I can't WAIT until Catching Fire comes out Sept 1st. This is seriously one of the two best books I've read in 2009.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to through all of your five star books. This is great, as for the longest time I was having trouble picking new books to read. Now I have a mountain!
