So I read the first Hunger Games book in the summer. It was great. The movie was spectacular also, and I loved it.
Discuss the Hunger Games here! Your views on how the whole country works, or just stuff about characters. |D -------------------- |

I read all of the books in two months just in time for the movie. I wanted to see the movie, but my dad said we can only watch movies if they are out on DVD. Still a great series though.

Actually just read a relevant article on this, and I'll drop it here. Apparantly some people didn't...well, pay attention I guess.
But anyway, I finished the books just as the "craze" started, and I have to say that despite my hipster soul I was quite happy to see these books getting the attention and popularity they did and are. They've more than earned it, and the story makes you THINK. About IMPORTANT THINGS. If you haven't reached the end I'll let you know, I got emotional. They're good. If you haven't read them because of the hype, you're missing out. -------------------- |

I read the books not too long after they came out, before all the hypecraze. It's nice seeing how popular they are now! They have their flays but they are definitely worth it, although I'm a little afraid that the first wave of popularity was only because Stephanie Meyer liked these books and talked about them, haa. Some people are comparing Twilight to the Hunger Games because of this, which is insanely off.
That racist article sort of scares me, though. And yeah, I'm probably not gonna watch it until the DVD comes out unless my friends want to go to the movie theaters together, but I doubt it. -------------------- |

Ugh, Skie, that...does so many things to strengthen my general disappointment in and with the world. Their skin color -- Rue's and Thresh's, that is -- was mentioned far more than the two times that article quoted, so people should've picked up on that. And while I'm disappointed in how unobservant people can be, I'm well and truly bothered that so many people could still be so senselessly biased. ;o;
Okay, yep, I'm done now. D| As for the hype thing: I ignored THG for a good while because, as a general thing, I hate reading books that receive as much hype as these have. Then one of my friends was like "Lolnoreally, please borrow my set, I am making you read them" and. Well. Yeah, if there's ever a series that lives up to the hype it's been given and then some, I'd say it's this one. -------------------- [align=center]My concepts and I are on hiatus.

Wow... I've been wanting to read this for a bit, just to see what everyone is talking about, but I've gotta say...
That racist article? I think I'd rather see the movie. =U -------------------- [align=center][spoiler=Hey there! (Art Credits)]Hi, I'm the prick that sprited my sister's sketches of the Vengacabra.
I also did the beta, delta, and omega of Alchemik's Mephitic Monarch (Al also did the egg). I did everything on the regular Sheep (except for the descriptions, which were made by Nine), as well as the descriptions for the Poinsetta. DragonFlare sketched the male omega Poinsetta Sheep and the beta, which I sprited. I did the sheep part of everything else, and she sprited the gorgeous flowers. I sprited and shaded the Valentuna's beta and delta, which were sketched by Whitefire. I also made shading edits to the Valentuna's omega, which was made by Sextonator and kaerlighed. Finally, I did some minor edits to the Back-Backs. So minor, I cannot, in fact, remember them. If you want to contact me, you might find me on the IRC, but almost always the forums. Just try a PM. I'll normally notice it.[/spoiler] [/align] |

Lolwut at that article. I usually imagine the characters as I imagine they would look, and not what the book says, but other than that "Woah, wasn't expecting that" at Cinna, I didn't give it a second thought :V

The Hunger Games is awesome! (Except for the bit at the end with Cato...) My fave character is this guy. http://thehungergames.wikia.com/wiki/Distr...e_%2874th_HG%29
Don't know why, but I think he's awesome! -------------------- |
