I love how every weekend is beginning to be sunny, as summer gets closer. Sunday, I was able to layout and read my free reading book “The Hunger Games”. I know most of you have already read the series and the movie has already come out, but I am finally starting to read them. When the books first came out, I had no interest in reading them. I was eleven at the time, and I couldn’t even understand why people around my age would want to read a book about children killing each other. After seeing the movie, I decided that I had to read the book, especially since I have heard so many good reviews on it.
Although I have only read a few chapters, the movie goes very closely to the book, and I now know why boy and girls of all ages enjoy this book. The action keeps the boys interested, while the love story keeps the girls reading with emotion, falling in love with the boy themselves. Having a female narrator definitely makes the book a lot more appealing for me. I can’t wait to finish reading it, and get to compare it to the movie completely. This time, I hope to read the next book of the series, “Catching Fire” before the movie comes out.

Great post Caroline I was one of those kids who read the book when I was 11 and loved it. It is a great series and you should definitely read all of them.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I had the same experience as you with the Hunger Games. When everyone began reading it in 6th grade, they seemed to love it, so I decided to try it. I didn't really like it, or understand it, so I didn't finish it. Now that the movie is out, I'm dying to go see it!
