I finished that one and jumped right into the next, even though our next meeting isn't till next week. I'm glad you didn't include any spoilers here. I was so interested in your post I couldn't stop reading it, even though I was sort of flinching waiting for something to be revealed. I should have known better - you wouldn't do that. One of your readers almost did though! So the last book ends with a loss... hmmm.... <br /><br />I haven't let myself watch any of the trailers for the movie - I have this picture in my mind of what Katniss looks like, and Peeta, and the rest... I feel so reluctant to see what Hollywood has decided they look like. But I'm sure I'll eventually see the movie. <br /><br />The Hunger Games trilogy is some amazing storytelling. It has really captured me. Our culture's fascination with reality shows has made this seem creepily within the realm of possiblity, even as far fetched as it appears at first glance.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-68978569189173646602012-02-27T19:31:59.183-05:002012-02-27T19:31:59.183-05:00Well, I dropped by Highland Books today and picked...Well, I dropped by Highland Books today and picked up the first one. I figured that you and I were the two remaining readers who hadn't read the trilogy. Then you caved in and so I must read them. I don't suppose I will get much knitting done for a while. But you have whetted my appetite for the books.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-68682210990750279922012-02-27T16:56:05.233-05:002012-02-27T16:56:05.233-05:00I love getting so immersed in a book that I want t...I love getting so immersed in a book that I want to stay with it for days after I finish the last page.

The loss was one I did not expect and I hated it. But then, all endings can't be happiness and light, and people can't just go on like everything's totally grand and the things that happened didn't touch them in some way. Katniss was touched to her very soul. She had to be. <br /><br />I have high hopes for the movie, although I know no movie ever totally does the book justice. (Silence of the Lambs came very close, but that's the only one that comes to mind.)Susan M.

I have friends who read them when they first came out (they're in the library/publishing worlds) and raved about them, but I've always been reluctant to read dystopian YA novels. My husband just finished listening to them on audio and thought they were only OK. My son, who liked the books, met several of the crew and saw some of the actors from the movie in Asheville when they came to studios/screening rooms in town where he works. Since it's filmed in NC, I'll probably see the movie. I typically prefer books to movies, so am debating whether to read before seeing.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-8474889300595195982012-02-27T09:54:42.291-05:002012-02-27T09:54:42.291-05:00I bought these books for my grandson not too long ...I bought these books for my grandson not too long ago.

I think what kept me from reading this trilogy was the fact I had heard it was written for teenagers, but is that really true? Not that there would be anything wrong with that, but I also thought it was full of vampires and weirdness. <br /><br />I really don't know if I want to see the movie. I honestly don't know how they could do the books justice.Pat in east TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654095647835294718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-86304441770265697322012-02-27T03:43:06.516-05:002012-02-27T03:43:06.516-05:00Oh dear more books to order!!!

A treat, thank you!<br /><br />I think I already told you that my youngest wished for the first book for Christmas, and she loved it.<br /><br />(I am reading Nancy Mitford's "Voltaire in Love", first published in 1957. I bought it before I left the States and finally got around to open it. I am enjoying it immensely.
