I haven't read any of the Hunger Games books.

I am, however, almost finished with the His Dark Materials trilogy. I like it a lot.

[collapse=hunger games spoilers inside!]It was okay when katniss was a tough girl hunter that didn't show emotion and took care of business. But then she goes into life and death battle arena and suddenly she becomes a juliet with a bow. As soon as the announcement about two winners happened, i realized thats when it was going down hill. When she goes back to district 12 she is more of a wussy ***** than her little sister.

I guess its my fault for expecting deep character development sprouting from hard decisions. It was written to replace twilight tho, so i guess it had to be that way to get its 10-16 y/o girl audience.[/collapse]

I loved the his dark material's trilogy.

One of the best book series I've ever read was the Abhorsen series. Fighting zombies with bells? Epic.

I liked them before it was cool! :D

the last fiction thing I read, that I *really* enjoyed was the Kingkiller Chrocincles by Patrick Rothfuss. These two books are amazing.

 

[Rosedemon]

Reading is so hard now that i've read the song of ice and fire series.

Of course i'll still cherish my occasional MTG or WoW novel.

 

[Xyzz]

Yeah, GRRM is great.

Though Rothfuss or Brandon Sanderson are pretty much on the same level though =)
(so is Robert Jordan I hear, but I didn't get around starting his Wheel of Time series yet).

 

[Supreme Dirt]

lol of course you'd miss crush huehuehuehuehue

So game of thrones pretty awesome. Been to lazy/busy to read the books but i want to after watching the show

Hmm I see your point but I can't shake off the way the author deliberately made the plot devices flow in that direction. Felt way too artificial to me.

 

[Rosedemon]

It starts out as a subtle "does she love me or is she trying to win?" thing in the first book, but it becomes some what of a focus in the second book.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I mean im not saying its dumb, though it kinda came out that way. I'm just more interested adult topics, not highschool girl drama. I had girlfriends like that and i really despise it. I actually applaud the writing style, i think it has a lot of merit, but the content is not for me.

Ya it's very good, at least the first season. =P

Though if girls are nasty then you all should watch Spartacus, lots of manly men.

 

[Bing]

Spartacus is an amazing show. In every crowd shot theres atleast one woman without a shirt on. My friend pointed that out to me, i think its funny

But i dont think girls r nasty. What just b/c i play peach u think i think girls r nasty for shame kage for shame

 

[Rosedemon]

Spartacus is a really good show BOOBS ERRWHERE.

But nothing will ever beat my love for Game of Thrones.

Cept Thats So Raven...

 

[Divinokage]

But they are soft and nice.. =(

 

[ShroudedOne]

I guess I'm going to read the Hunger Games now? I hadn't heard a thing about this until the day of the premiere of the movie, and now suddenly it's like cinematic manna to people. Time to see what the fuss is all about.

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

I dont understand this response. I think u miss read what i wrote

 

[Wake]

Poor Ben.

He's just misunderstood.

 

[crush]

AWW BENNY

lol

 

[Silly Kyle]

I saw the Hunger Games this past Sunday. It was good, but it didn't meet the hype I was expecting from it. I definitely want to read the books though.

 

[DoH]

Finished Mockingjay last week. Finnick

Also, it's not just about loving Peeta, but about repaying him. He saved her life as a child, she is obligated to do the same.

Jewish guilt, y'all wouldn't understand

 

[crush]

i saw hunger games too, 1 friiday ago, i iddnt really like it, they shoulda made it more romantic

 

[KidWithChemicals]

wow. there's lots of homos in here. holla<3
i'm diggin' the TSR posts. lmao.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Update on hunger games: Starting book 2. Alan gave me hope for the series, I will give it another chance

 

[Queen]

I'm working my way through Mockingjay at this very moment and I'm less than thrilled with it, but I do love the way the author is addressing the effects of war on Katniss's psyche. Thus far, I don't see Katniss as being particularly remarkable. What is remarkable is her behavior and perception in light of her current situation. I think the story and its structure are the most compelling components of these novels.

Beyond that, I think the stories themselves are very powerful portrayals of systemic oppression and abuse.

 

[prog]

Bridesmaids was really good.
