So as my first official "review" I am choosing a book that I love dearly. For the first few (blogs?) I will be getting my footing so to speak on this whole process, and it has been a while since I read some of the first books, so again I ask for patience.
Okay so to the good part....THE HUNGER GAMES!
When I first read it I was captivated instantly. I could not put it down for the life of me, that was how good the book was/is.
If you are a feminist, and all for an awesome kick butt heroine, this is the book for you, if you don't mind the mild violence and the whole concept of the Games themselves. (Not to say that guys wont enjoy this book. It is a book that almost anyone can fins something intriguing in.)
The ideas that go into how the capitol works were fascinating. (spoiler alert) It was a brilliant set up for the second book (Catching Fire review coming to you sometime tomorrow).
The book kept me guessing and I truly enjoyed reading it. I personally think it would make a brilliant movie, but I fear that no director or screen play writer could do the story justice. I do not want a book such as this to be subject to the misinterpretation that Hollywood so often brings on its literary victims.
Collins did a beautiful job climbing inside Katniss's head (the heroine) and grabbed me (the reader) to the point that I felt as if I was feeling everything that she was.
So now I am rambling...all in all a ***** (5 star) rating from me.
COOLNESS, leave comments and discuss the book if you wish (if anyone is actually reading this), because that would be AWESOME :D
That is it from me!
Hope, Peace, Faith, and Love
