ReplyDelete......they kill small children in this book...........
ReplyDeleteWOOOHOOO!
ReplyDeleteya but i heard it was a good book
ReplyDeletei like pie...................and hunger games
ReplyDeletespongebob also likes hunger games.......and gary
this book is amazing!!!!!!!!!i love it sooooo much!!! its super good. im not that far yet, but thats just cuz im lazy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not done with this yet... but it's amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteShe pays a lot of attention to detail- especially where food is concerned- it reminds me of J.K. Rowling's, in that way.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! it is a good book so far but im only on page 86....... but i love it
ReplyDeleteWhat's making the book so good?
ReplyDeleteso you love it when they kill small children?
ReplyDeleteIts super goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd they dont kill small children, one person is like 12 and everyonelse is 16 or 18. The 12 year old lasts pretty long in the games.
The story doesn't skimp on the detail... while it is still rather violent, it's really a good portrait of an alternate reality/ Sci fi futuristic story. Yay :)
ReplyDeletei like the author because she explains every single detail...... she also has a good story line so far
ReplyDeletelol...Gabby has a point. The things that shock us the most are typically what we like to read (or watch on tv). It's kind of like when people slow down to look at an accident on the side of the road.
ReplyDeletei love action books and this is going to be like an action book and i also like the main character because she is kinda calm and nice most of the time in the book so far
ReplyDeleteit's kind of creepy... but that's just human nature, I guess O.o
ReplyDeletei agree with the comments on detail. Suzanne Collins is very good with explaining details. She doesnt skip a detail. The way she describes the food is ah-mazing!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Anna Rose...it is human nature.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes this book good?? I know that everyone is crazy about it but why? Just wondering
ReplyDeletewell i like how katniss and peeta came into the opening of the hunger games those outfits seem so cool with the capes on fire
ReplyDeleteMe too! Those "fire" outfits are another good example of the author's attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteAlana- I guess it's just because of how, despite it being fictional, the story is just believable. You don't get the sense of it being sloppy. It's very easy to get into the story, is what I'm trying to say- I think :p Once you get into the story, it really pulls you in :)
ReplyDeleteTHEY KILL SMALL CHILDREN HOW CAN YOU NICE THINGS ABOUT A BOOK THAT KILLS SMALL CHILDREN!!!!
ReplyDeleteits not small children they kill but they still kill people so gabby has a point!!!!
ReplyDeleteim reading this book only so i can see how bad it is! they kill small children........
ReplyDeletethey are not small children they are kids and teens the ages 12 to 18 so they are not "small" children!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow... Well, Gabby & Sarasue- let's hope this isn't a possible future. :p It's Sci fi- you'll get used to it :D
ReplyDeleteIf you guys like this book, you should definitely read the second one. I actually liked that one better. It's called Catching Fire.
ReplyDeleteThen the third book Mockingjay will come out August 24, 2010.
gabby,gabby,gabby.......u will LOVE this book. dont worry-AND THEY DONT KILL SMALL CHILDREN!!!!!! o my goodness!! its pretty much teenagers except 4 the 12 yr old!!!!
ReplyDeleteThats kind of like calling your self a small child, the people in the games themselves are basically people the same age as you or older, People die in tons of books, and in this one you kind of get the sense that the main character doesnt like the situation. There are only a certain amount of people in the games that are excited to kill people.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely adding them to my "library" at home :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a mature book.
ReplyDeleteOk...let's move along/away from the "they (do or do not) kill small children" argument... :D
ReplyDeleteits kind of even a love story, just more blood.... and killing.
ReplyDeletegabby u will like this book even if they kill one 12 year old
ReplyDeleteSounds good :)
ReplyDeleteas soon as im done with hunger games i want to read catching fire at my house
ReplyDeleteIm reading pretty little liars... or at least i'll start it.
ReplyDeletei agree with stopping the argument!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCOOL I KNOW YOU'LL L-O-V-E PRETTY LITTLE LIARS
ReplyDeleteI'm on page 123.
ReplyDelete......................................................................................................................................................THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it though?! I'm dying to read the next in the series.
ReplyDeletei am done reading this book it was soo good i read most of it last night ITS THE BEST BOOK EVER
ReplyDeletewow i'm lovin this book and im only on pg.57!!!!
ReplyDeletei love it that two charecters in this book may be in love!!!!!
I think that definitely adds to the suspense of the book. I mean, how hard would it be to be falling in love with someone that could potentially be your killer (or your prey)?
ReplyDeleteits a great book and i cant wait to read catching fire
ReplyDeleteThis is so good. I'm only in the 200's but I love this book! IT"S FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteit would be awful to know you like a person who you may have to kill or kill you or somebody else might kill them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished this book today. There is no doubt that this book is in my Top 10.
ReplyDeleteGO HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.
My mom and I are going to buy Catching Fire this weekend... I cannot wait to read it! I saw it at Wal Mart the other night... I grabbed it and was walking around the store reading it ^.^
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a strong story... there's so much going on :)
after this class im going to read the rest of the series
ReplyDeletei love this book and can't wait to read the next book in the series!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei love this book it is one of the best books i have ever read soo i cant wait to read the next one..........
ReplyDeleteHunger Games [and the sequel, I think] are checked out at most of the nearby libraries, and there's a waiting list. Still, you could probably get it really cheap on Amazon, I think.
ReplyDeleteill probably just read my sisters copy of catching fire cause i think she has it i hope...
ReplyDeletei wanna know what team your on gail or peeta. i'm on peeta i don't know why though i just am!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm "Team Gale" [ew, that sounds like a Twilight thing x.x] I dunno... I mean, Peeta is sweet, and really seems to care about Katniss... But really, Gale has been her best friend pretty much Forever. I guess I just go for the guy-friend, then boyfriend type of "romance." Not that it's worked for me before x_x still...
ReplyDeleteUh oh...I see t-shirts coming out to rival the Twilight ones. =)
ReplyDeleteum....... im on peetas side because i think katniss and peeta are starting to understand each other more but on the other hand gail has known katniss for like ever soo they have a good friend relationship soo i really dont know whose team i am on
ReplyDeleteThen again, I've only read the first one, so far... so that may change? I dunno :p
ReplyDeleteI really am on Peeta's team. I have read the second book though, and that has a little influence on my decision. I think that it was really thoughtful of Peeta when he gave the bread to Katniss. I dont think that she could have fed her family if he hadnt done that. I think that Peeta did those things to Katniss in the Hunger Games because he cared. He wanted to make sure that the Careers didnt kill her. And he was sweet in the end, even when Katniss did that to him.
ReplyDeleteBut Gale is still good, tho. BECAUSE he just is.... i will not put the real reason on here because my real reason is in Catching Fire.
YOU HAVE TO READ CATCHING FIRE!!!!
I'm probably going to go hide in my backyard for a few hours as soon as I get Catching Fire home... I'm not going to stop until I'm done reading it :D
ReplyDeleteI think I may go crazy if I don't get to read that book soon... O.o
ReplyDeletedid u know that they're going to make a movie out of the hunger games i cant wait
ReplyDeletebest book EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I LIKE MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY HUNGER GAME MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDeleteWe should make a CFK class called Books That Were Made Into Movies: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
ReplyDeletethat would be cool if we did that
ReplyDeleteMs. B- That sounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWas that a book first? Sara and i could've used that one.....
ReplyDeleteThat would be sweet. What if we could make trailers for books that we like and make advertisements for movies for them. That would be epic!
ReplyDeletetotally epic! I wish I could take if it became a class... :p you guys will just have to tell me about it :)
ReplyDeletehunger games will be a movie look at this website
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mahalo.com/hunger-games-movie
if there is a midnight movie playing of the hunger games ill be there
ReplyDeleteare we seriously taking sides about whether we like Gale or Peeta better? This is turning into a Twilight all over again.
ReplyDeleteTHE MOVIE TRAILER IS AWSOME CANT WAIT TO SEE IT YAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei love hunger games
ReplyDelete1. It's not like Twilight! it's more dignified!!! and it's actually really important to the plot, not just a girly romance thing. Seriously. :p
ReplyDelete2. I finally got my hands on a copy of Catching Fire!!! I got it last night but was too tired to read a lot x.x But I have barely put it down since I've woken up today! I am nearly done :D
I read Catching Fire all day Saturday ^__^ I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteKatniss!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI finished Mockingjay! [and I saw Rod at the PND dance!]
