Average Rating: 9.4Menu:
Dana: 10 - Read the first one and downloaded the second already. She wants to know who Katniss chooses. Thinks she is honorable for stepping up for her sister and thinks we would all do the same, given the chance, and that it would happen more in the story of the book. Liked the characters and wants to read more for closure.
Rebecca: 9 - Interesting and easy to read. Great plot. Doesn't remember the minor complaints of the book as the true feeling of the book took over. Expected not to put it down, but was able to. Only read the LAST page this time. :-) Don't feel the need to read 2 and 3, but might anyway.
Tina: 9.5 - Loved the book and read all 3. Wanted more. Very interesting premise. Thought the capitol parts were cool - dying the skin, etc. Excited about the movie (3/23/12) and casting of it. Liked the fantasy world part of like - like Harry Potter. Sad it's over.
Anne: 9.5 - Really enjoyed the book. Read one year ago (friends fifth grader was reading it for school). Enjoyed the story and kept thinking the main character was a boy. Enjoyed her strength, character and courage.
Rachel: 9 - Read it in one sitting. Envisioning kids read this book bothered her - so deep to fight to the death. The book felt like it was set in the 1600s. Good character development and characters you wanted to root for.
Jennifer: 9.5 - Was into the beginning and end of chapters - not so much the middles. Expected them to be early 19-20 year olds - disturbed by their ages. Thought she was sometimes rude to the others, ie Peta. Liked the second book, bored by the third.
Becky: 9.5 - Love all three of the books, but thought the first and second were the best. Was unable to put them down and kept finding time to read more....more. Actually found it hard to find something interesting to read after the trilogy. Hard to tell other what this is about without it sounding morbid and too serious for kids. Although, its a very good read. Very excited for the movie to come out on Madelyn's first birthday (although won't see that day).
Angie: 9 - (remote) Read this book (actually entire series) awhile back and was hooked. Thought the basis of the story like was very creative. Was hesitant in the beginning as she didn't understand where the story was going to go, but once the Hunger Games started, she couldn't put it down. Really liked reading about the Capitol and how the people were so different with their wild and crazy styles. Wasn't so much interested in the love story between Peta and Katniss but more about what was going to happen in the games.
