I just read The Hunger Games, took me about a day.
And I did not love it.
It made me super hungry. It was much too violent. I would never want to watch a movie that violent. Blood, pus, skulls smashing, necks snapping...that isn't entertainment to me. If the movie is PG-13 I'll go, but I have a hard time imagining they can deliver anything close to the book without being rated R.
[however I just looked it up, and it says it'll be rated pg-13]
It made me more grateful for what I had, though.
Say what you want about Stephenie Meyer's writing...but the "hook" she had at the end of each book left me driving all over town finding the next one. At the end of this one I was like, that's it? I don't think I'll read the next two. I think I even heard some were disappointed with MockingJay.
Anyway. That's that. Twilight is better. The Host is still my favorite book. Shows you how much I've read in the last few years.
What did you think of The Hunger Games?
