I found myself at the library yesterday, asking the lady if they had The Hunger Games. I put the first one on hold. :anxious:


You guys are too good at influencing people!

Ya, I'm a bit confused as to how this suddenly popped up. I guess it's because the movie's coming out soon. But really, there are so many other series out there that are really good and clean and stuff. I mean, the books aren't like THE BEST THING EVER CREATED or anything like that. :P

This. My prediction is give the ToO a couple months after the movie and it'll fade fast. ;)

And Lee, you shouldn't bend under strong things, it's bad for your back. :(

Especially if you start bending over backwards.

True.

After all the hype about the books, I probably will read it and not even be impressed.

If its half as good as Angela Hunt's books I'll be happy. ;)

Who also have no concept of what capable writers can actually do.

Lee, let me encourage you to proceed with caution. I know your beliefs, and the hunger games can be fairly... for lack of a better word, raunchy. Katniss and Peeta have a fairly... sexual relationship.

I must've missed the part where Katniss and Peeta had a sexual relationship... :anxious: However, I agree with Mark that the books should be read with caution.

The Hunger Games train will not stop until the end of March. \:D/ At that point, it will either implode or explode further.

knowing how good the books are, and that there are 3 more movies after the first on the way, I suspect it will explode further. \:D/
