I found this blog:<br />http://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/category/hunger-games/<br />and it really helped me see more clearly behind some of the story that I knew had to be there, but couldn't interpret myself. It really is a brilliant work of fiction and I've come to the place that I think it ended exactly how it had to, as she wrote it as a war story, not a love story. However, when I first read it I was so disappointed that she and Peeta were broken beyond repair. Katniss is a SURVIVOR and then she just gives up at the end? But I can see how 1) her sister's death was almost the death of her - she was the only person she really truly loved and 2) that once she had time for relief, she crumpled after all she had been through. <br /><br />The other thing that annoyed me was that there was so much brilliant dialogue driving the story and then she concludes it with NEARLY NONE. No conversation (really) with Gale, her mother (oh, and I think I hate her mother the most out of any character), and barely any conversation with Peeta either. That drove me a little batty, but I'm over it.<br /><br />I'm so excited about the movie too. We had a party last night and I dressed A up as a dandelion and L up as Buttercup. :) We'll have to chat about the movie afterward.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985208539048705951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077566427625743170.post-24099657708084113002012-03-10T19:35:16.744-07:002012-03-10T19:35:16.744-07:00Loved the series a few years back.

I see the commercials for the movie and get all emotional. You should try the series: uglies, pretties, and specials. Not as good, but kept me reading. I just love books that consume me, so exciting!megantonesforeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473968326020181290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077566427625743170.post-53113819262291153162012-03-09T17:23:26.353-07:002012-03-09T17:23:26.353-07:00I was SO rooting for Peeta through the first two b...I was SO rooting for Peeta through the first two books. It drove me crazy mad that she was being so insincere and pretending to be in love with him when he was obviously truly madly crazy about her. Especially at the end of the first book when she reveals she's been leading him on the whole time! Grr. That's probably a big factor in me not liking Katniss. Plus she's so dour. You seem much nicer than she is :)Beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764693424856370645noreply@blogger.com
