Those shaky cameras and bleach white screens that I'm going to guess were an attempt at being artsy just killed certain parts of that movie for me. That said, the rest of it was okay, but this is one of those moments where the book was way better than the movie. | ||

Does it really add to the action? Just made me feel bleh. But I enjoyed the movie! | ||

nothing special. Imo harry potter series were just way better (JK rowlings writing skills are pretty damn good). Its a good read if you want something that isn't too heavy(although there are a good amount of pages). Its a good HS book level nothing more. Somewhat boring but has some entertaining stuff for the college population | ||

I recommend "A Song of Ice and Fire", but if you like the "teen romance" being a heavy part of the story, sure, why not. | ||

I've read all of asoiaf, but only half of the hunger games (seen the movie tho). And asoiaf is by far the better story. But on the other hand asoiaf is 5000 pages (so far) and the hunger games triology is about 1200(?), so if your short on time you may be better of with the hunger games. | ||

I'll post my thoughts on the movie tommorrow when I get a chance, probably with comparisons to the book. The book series made my top 10 best book series, so I hold it in very high regard. As a sidenote I can't wait to start reading Under The Dome, the latest offering by stephen king, it shouldn't be nearly as heart wrenching as the hunger games series, lol. Okay I saw it, thought meh, wutev's. Seriously I can't bother to give it more thought than that. | ||

Also dostoyevsky is great, timeless classics. kudos | ||

All she said was she didn't knew the series when she got the idea. And i don't think it's a really "hard to find" idea either. I don't know if she is lying or not but i don't see the reason to. People can think same stuff. | ||

Mostly because I really like the setting, but also, because of how you slowly get introduced to the real nature of the games, which makes it pretty clear that they are neither a fair contest nor just a tradition, but also have a way more important political role. It is a really nice setup for the following movies, if they decide to also make those. (Which I hope they do.) Maybe I am going to get the book, but I already have enough unread ones (i really should change that.) | ||
