So, Hunger Games
Dec. 29th, 2011 11:39 amI read "The Hunger Games" a few months ago. My feelings about the book were mixed, but I was curious enough to keep reading; however, the fact that the other books in the trilogy were only available in hardback gave me pause. Then I gave in, ordered them from Powell's, and inhaled them over a couple of days, while we were visiting T's mom.
My feelings continue to be mixed, and I want a little more time to digest and read what other people have to say about them, but I also want to get my initial thoughts down first -- if I don't, I tend to forget, and get my own impressions mixed up with what other people have said. It should go without saying that this post will be filled with spoilers for all three books.
( The Good, the Bad, the.... Hmmm. )
Overall, I'm glad I read them, if only because now I know what all the fuss is about. They were entertaining, despite their problems, and I'm looking forward to the first movie for sure.
