The Hunger Games

5/3/15

Don't look at me in disbelief that I haven't read the books yet. In all honesty, I have read them. Well, to be more honest it was only half of the first book. I think I might be one of the very few who didn't like the books. I can hear your gasps of disbelief from here. I can't tell you why I don't like the books. Maybe because it just drags on and puts every thing in detail. And I mean everything. I'm more of a plot and imagine kind of person. I would rather create my own world then have a book tell me what to envision. But for the sake of the movies, I'm reading the books again. There are some things I don't understand while I watch the movies, and I'm pretty sure the books explain them. Like doesn't she really love Peeta? Or, will she actually end up with Gale? Why did they do a certain thing a certain way? If you know any answers to my questions, please keep them to yourselves. I'd like to find out on my own and I hate spoilers. I had to deal with that in high school. Also spoilers ruined Supernatural for me. I will never look at that show the same ever again. How dare someone write that the one died and that an angel took over his body. I hate you internet. And I know that you aren't supposed to read the book after you watched the movies, because you end up comparing the book to the movie instead of the other way around. Just bare with me people. Remember I read half of a book. I'm not completely in the dark. Even though you may think that I am. But I'm going to head out and wish that I was outside in this beautiful weather that Wisconsin is finally having. I can't go enjoy it because of two things. One being that I'm at work, and two, believe it or not, I'm allergic to the sun. I break out in hives if I stay in the sun for too long. I'd like to think of myself as a vampire because of that. But I'm off to go read the Hunger Games and leave you to judge me. So until next time.....


Fact, reading a book that you have already read half of kind of gets a little boring. It makes me want to sleep instead of read. Why I decided to read from the very beginning is beyond my understanding. It probably has to do with the fact that I can't remember where I left off in the first place. Anyways, we all how it begins. The book that is. Katniss wakes up to see her mother and sister cuddling. She goes out to hunt. She comes back and does some trading. She gets ready for the reaping. Her sister gets called. She volunteers. They take Katniss away after her last good-byes with friends and family. They get to the capitol. And that is as far as I got. I could say that they then get all pretty. Get shown like animals at a county fair. Go to where all the tributes are staying. And that will be all that I remember. I'm sure there is other stuff in between all that I said, but you either know what its all about or you can read the book yourself. Right away you see the differences between the book and the movie. I'm not going to say what they are because there is a lot. But that's Hollywood. So until next time....

Okay, so originally I didn't make it halfway. But I can say that I read the first part of the book. So now I'm reading some new stuff. Sadly I can't help but compare it to the movie and I deserve to be slapped because of it. So far I'm still not thinking this is the greatest book I have ever read. I know I'm a tough critic. At least I'm trying to read the series. But at least now I know that Peeta's feelings toward Katniss ring true. Now I just have to figure out if she actually loves him or she is just acting for the hell of it. In all honesty I think she does, but not at first. To her, he is just someone who was nice to her and kind of made her feel weak. Hints that this guy is going to weasel his way into her heart. I'm sure some of have experienced that in life. Me included. Anyways, like I said, its still not great but it isn't worth the two stars I originally gave it. You can say that it just gained a star in my book. So until next time.......

I have about a third of the book left. Still think its not that great, but that is just my opinion. You can say that it has to do with the fact that it isn't the usual genre of book that I read, since most of the books I've reviewed are romances. Anyways, I just finished the second part of the book where there is now six of them left. Rue also just died. I heard that it is a really sad part, but I didn't get all emotional. Maybe I'm broken or something. I always get emotional when someone dies. I guess not this time. Something has to be wrong with me. Anyways, I'll most likely wrap up the book tomorrow in the wee hours. I won't have a computer with me, so this will be my last post.
