Book Review: The Hunger Games


WOW! OK so... I'm Angry At This Book! WTF is with this ending!

Book 1 and 2 were absolutely amazing, I wanted to give up sleep for it! But when I got to book three... I was starting to lose concentration on the fight scene. (not including the fact that I spoiled the ending for myself on wikipedia) But it was really long... and it didn't help with the climax or build up.

The first book was wonderful. I absolutely enjoyed the time at the Capitol, imagining the food and the clothes that Cinna designed and I was so sucked in by the fight scenes that I wanted to know what next. Except I totally was creeped out by the dog mutts that were suppose to look like the dead tributes. The deaths didn't strike me as very tear-jerking, despite how emotional I am... I guess my imagination wasn't in high gear at the moment. I also felt absolutely sorry for poor Peeta (pita chip). I love the boy with the bread and the chemistry between Katniss and Peeta were so great, I loved it.
I was very much disappointed though... since when I first heard about it... Christine told me that one of her kids asked "What did they do in the cave?" and I thought it would be something mature or implying it. And with the lack of but quickly growing chemistry I was looking forward to it... but nothing happened! lol...

Book two was equally wonderful. I love the flirtatious but totally dedicated to their true love character. Finnick!!! I love you so! But you love Annie! So my heart breaks
The need that Katniss and Peeta were dragged into the games once again was tiring... I didn't want to go through the whole thing again, but Finnick made it better I must say. The older victors made it a bit tiring though... I feel bad for saying that.
The chemistry was bad... for reasons I can understand... but Katniss's uncertainty was annoying. In those times you need characters like those in 50 Shades who know what they want... and that's it! They want each other so they're happy now!

Book three I think killed the series. I was already expecting a disappointing or tragic ending... but they don't give a tragic or a happy ending... but a very lukewarm not really special ending... There wasn't even the hopeful ending... I was pretty disappointed with that book, the ending really dwindled and it ruined my impression of the series...
Now I crave another book that is satisfactory... Or maybe I already need another romance novel... but I know my next choices are all going to be either science-fiction or fantasy.... since I got to finish those books!
