The Hunger Games Trilogy

kaitlyne_veneklasen shared a tip "The books are so much better than the movies! They portray the characters in so much more depth and you get to understand Katniss so much more!!! It's a MUST READ!"

megan_raye shared a tip "I remember yelling out loud while reading the second book and my husband said “real problem or book problem” and yelled “book problem book problem” as I frantically turned the page"

stephanie_boyd shared a tip "🤔 I'm not sure. Either the part where Rue died and she cared for her or the part in the second book where she realized most everyone was working with her, not against her."

kyla_imrie shared a tip "1/5 I'm going to preface this by saying a haven't read the original trilogy in a decade, and if I were to reread it now I could either like it a lot less because of the swarm of bad imitations that have come out since, or like it a lot more because I'd probably have a better understanding now than I did at the time."

kyla_imrie shared a tip "2/5 Something that makes me really sad and frustrated when talking to people about her books is that they really are brilliant and politically relevant, and since they were released, there have been hundred of imitations that kind of miss the point entirely, and are full of stereotypes and tropes, and people accuse the hunger games of having all those tropes, which it either doesn't have at all, or is actively doing the opposite."

kyla_imrie shared a tip "3/5 One thing that I really admire the author for, is that when her books blew up and became really famous, and the movies were made, she didn't start pumping out a bunch of content just for the money that was gradually less and less meaningful, like a lot of people in her position would probably do."

kyla_imrie shared a tip "4/5 She said what she had to say and disappeared for a decade. When she had more to say, she wrote the new one, a ballad of songbirds and snakes. When I first heard it was coming out, I hated the idea. It sounded like a cash grab, and I was furious at the idea that President snow would be made a sympathetic character. The more I thought about it, the more I realised that that didn't seem like her style, so I gave it a try."

kyla_imrie shared a tip "5/5 And it was fantastic. It was exactly what I hoped it would be, Coriolanus isn't made sympathetic and yet it's a perfect and understandable progression of his corruption and his journey to power. Also very relevant to what's going on in the world. I needed about a week after finishing the book to fully process it before I could start a new one. So to answer your question, yes, I do like this author. :)"

yellow_mellow shared a tip "This is the best book I have ever read in my preteen years. It’s told me and showed me what true love is. Definitely recommend reading on a weekend!"

greydyn_gilroy shared a tip "I think a lot of people believe this is a children’s or YA only series just because of it’s reputation and publisher. It’s not. It has a wonderful plot and characters to get attached too, as well as strong political commentary if that’s your thing."

sarah_dawe shared a tip "Personally I really like the end of this book because it’s kind of bittersweet... it’s not good or bad. Overall the ending of this book just makes you really excited to read the second book because so many things could happen."

jenna_oneill shared a tip "@megan_stone I did! I read the trilogy twice. It’s a great story to binge. It’s not particularly thought provoking, but it’s entertaining."

marianna_6145 shared a tip "I loved the books. I borrowed the Audio books from our library app which was my first audio experience. I personally prefer books because they have more details that is hard to put in a move. I haven’t watched all the moves yet but looking forward to that."

adam_willson shared a tip "The Hunger Games is the most heart breaking and wonderful series I have ever read but don’t make the same mistake I did. Don’t watch the movies before you read the books or almost all of the magic is gone when you read them. Just don’t do it. Read the book than watch the movie after."

angie_llamas shared a tip "i read the books before watching the movies and the trilogy and so well written. there’s lots of twists and parts that get you upset but not because the book is badly written, but because it’s so good it makes you think the characters are real and you grow a real hatred towards them as if they were your enemy in real like LOL"
