Anyone a fan? I would have read it anyway as I'm a huge fan of Suzanne Collins because of her Underland Chronicles series, but with Stephenie Meyer's recommendation, that just put it at the top of my list. And...I LOVE it.

I think Katniss is amazing. She's not exactly funny, but it's not really a funny book. There wasn't much to laugh about. But she's extremely intelligent and savvy. I was really impressed with all the characters, actually. I'm not sure who I like better, though: Peetah or Gale. Guess I'll have to figure that one out when Catching Fire comes out in September!

im a massive fan of the hunger games. i actually picked it up because of stephanie meyers recomendation on it. and i loved it! cant wait for the next one.

Haha...I'm actually a member of the forums at THG. I absolutely love this book. I enjoyed reading it and also TUC. Both series are incredibly awesome. <--Yeah, I'm a huge fan as well. ^^

How would you rate it against VA?

I like VA better, but I have a soft spot for vampires. THG is a good book, and it has some very interesting themes, as well as plot twists up the kazoo and some great fight scenes. The romance is also good, but it's PG. Kissing and such. I like my cabins better.

Finally, a place where people can talk about THG!!! I frigging love this series!! It's AWESOME!!

I just read it a couple weeks ago and fell completely in love with Katniss and Peeta!! THG is definitely one of my favorite series. I went out to the store and bought Catching Fire the same day I finished reading THG!! I'm so excited for book 3 next year!! God. I wish I knew when it comes out so that I could mark it on my calendar.

Anyone else out there feel the same? Have you read CF? What do you think of the series so far? Are you in love with Peeta? Or do you prefer Gale?

And lastly... would YOU survive the Hunger Games?!

^^ Somebody else who loves Hunger Games!

I finally got CF but I haven't started reading it yet due to the crunch time I had to go through. But I heard that it is amazing!

And no, I could definitely not survive the Hunger Games. I would probably be the one who forgot about the 60 second rule and just step off the metal plate.

CF is pretty amazing!! I LOVED it!! It took me a little while to get into it though, but once I did, I finished it off in less than two days!!

lol I don't think I'd survive either. Though I don't know about being killed off in the first minute. Maybe the first two. I think I'd survive until the gong sounded!! At least... I like to think so.

Any other HG fans out there?

I just love Peeta. He's so sweet. He's probably my favorite part about the series.

Rue broke my heart.

This site here says that book 3 is titled THE VICTORS!!

God I can't wait for this book.

Finished THG and CF in the past two days and absolutely love the series so far. Without a doubt it's going to be bumped into my faves.

Definitely Team Peeta, there's no way Gale's good for her.

So if you go to http://www.thehungergames.co.uk/ you'll see the UK HG covers (sort of) with pictures of Katniss and Peeta.
Does anyone else reckon this shot of shailene woodley looks like cover-Katniss?

WHOA that girl's eyes are huge!!

But yeah, she really does sorta look like that pic of Katniss.

I hope we find out more about The Victors soon. Like a RELEASE DATE would be nice. Can't wait.
And you already know I'm with you on the Peeta vs Gale thing. Peeta is the only one for Katniss. They complete each other.

I wrote up this giant argument about why Peeta's better then Gale for other friends, so far they haven't replied to it much but it felt good to type it all out

That girl doesn't really look like Katniss is other shots though, it's really just that one. But I thought it was pretty cool finding it.

I think I'll get the 1st this weekend , doc....
