I just finished a book called Graceling. The main character would most definitely win the Games. If you liked Hunger Games, you should read this book because it is AMAZING!! Very different. The main character's name is Katsa, which I have to laugh at because its so close, and the books are close too......I dunno, just thought some of ya'll might be interested.

Who's your favorite character? Why?

hello people! i was just wondering who everyone's favorite character was! Personally, mine is Katniss, but it seems like that's not everyone's favorite character! So who is? and why? I like Katniss because she is very strong and knows how to take care of herself, but still has some inner conflicts. TELL ME WHO YOU LIKE BESTEST! :D (also GALE OR PEETA? im indecisive, and i haven't finished the other books yet) -Emma

My opinion on Katniss Everdeen~~

As much as I liked reading the Hunger Games, throughout the series I couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed with Katniss. I mean, it seems to me like she just goes with the flow of everything and whenever shes trying to be portrayed as good and self-less, to me it just made her seem phony and self hating.
Her character is really frustrating at times, and I didn't find her that independent.
 And whenever shes taking action she never really breaks out of what people expect from her. Like even when she was trying to be "defiant" in the executions she still did what the president influenced her to do. -_-

Just my opinion! o_o;     -Salome

This guy looks like Peeta in my mind because of the fire he's holding. This reminds me of how he made bread back in District 12.

RUE!!!

OMG!!! I'm sorry if I am ruining this for anyone, but I WAS SO SAD WHEN RUE DIED!!! Katniss spent one day with her, but they were like, BEST FRIENDS!!!! :'( I really wish that Rue could have just lived one more day...I knew she couldn't win, but at least one more day would have been fine, right? Whatever...I'm just really upset about that.

Ugh. Sorry, but I feel the need to rant about Katniss.

Um, so a few of you might now I dislike Katniss.
Like, a lot.  I mean, I get it. She has to stay alive, but does she have to be so... her? Something about her just irks me. She's not the only character/situation I get nit-picky about; I just can't stand her so much more than all the other people. But I really think the story would be interesting from the point of view from another character. I totally respect Miz Collin's books and all, it's just Katniss I don't like.

Okay. So, I'm reading the book a second time just to make sure that I won't post anything from the second book. I realized there are so many small details that I overlooked the first time around that make up all of their personalities and add to the events of the story. It's kinda funny how that happens. I mean, it's not critical to know those little facts, but it sure is cool to go back and think 'Hey that ties in later in the story when Katniss is..blah..blah..Hunger Gaming.'
