I am just dying for book 3 to come out. It is worse than waiting for Harry Potter titles.

I see. Thank you very much. I confused it with the movie "The Crying Game" which I did not know was a book and maybe wasn't. I wonder if it might be vaguely based on something I ran across recently. Seems there may have been a Concentration Camp prisoner in WW2 who was a boxer and had to fight his fellow prisoners, so a similar dilemma came into play. Although your story may go

I envy that you haven't read The Hunger Games because I would love to wipe the book from my memory just for the opportunity to read it fresh. It was optioned for a movie, but to my knowledge has not been filmed yet, much less released.

My synopsis?

Katniss, a 15 year old survivalist who provides for her grief-paralyzed mother and younger sister, must battle other

Could you share a brief synopis of the book from your point of view. Think I have heard of the book, never read it, think it was made into a movie, and also think Boy George of Culture Club fame sang the title song to the movie. Can't read every book, I guess.

Forgive me if I do not share "your" (plural to include comments above) opinion about people who have not read a

I've called back the hit team, Kim. Rest easy. And yes, E - I included you in the graph above! :)

I have finally given a copy to my (YA) sister for Christmas - and "Catching Fir", too! Now can I be taken off the naughty list?

I couldn't put this book down. Bought a copy of it too and got my sister totally hooked.

Ooooh - Nova and Rachael - I almost envy that you guys haven't read it yet and get to enjoy it for the first time. Hopefully you'll love it as much Danielle, JD, and Rebecca and I did.

And Rebecca - I'd love to get a fraction of the response that this book has gotten!

I love it! Isn't this just the sort of thing you hope you can do with your own writing? The Hunger Games is legendary! I tell everyone I talk to about books to buy it and I have lent it out countless times. Suzanne Collins is a genuis!

Haven't read it yet because I'm reading THIS OTHER GREAT YA - ahem - but gave both to Bethany for Xmas.

2009-12-24T19:09:58.219-08:00

i use it as a litmus for taste too! if someone is recommending a book to me, i usually ask-- have u read & did u like Hunger Games? if the answer is yes and yes, i proceed to take their recommendation seriously. connection made.

conversely if the answer is "no" then i smile, nod and walk away. =)

I kept picking this book up every time I went to the bookstore, but never bought it. It didn't seem like my kind of book. People would talk about it. I'd pick it up and put it back. One day I checked it out from the library on a whim. I am so glad I did. I loved this book. I bought it and "Catching Fire". It's opened my eyes to a whole world of YA that I wasn't reading.
