Does anyone else out there worry about the addiction of this book, the way we’re completely drawn in and able to “get into” their lives involving murder? Maybe I’m being too simplistic and naive? But it disturbs me to witness what’s happening in my mind.

Thoughts?

I’m one of the very lucky few to have gotten my hands on an ARC of the sequel – Catching Fire (coming soon to a bookstore – preferably indie – near you!) – and I don’t think that anyone is going to be dissappointed. Just as engrossing as the original but Collins took a little more care in filling in some of the background and fleshing out the characters from other districts. My only problem with these books are the cliffhanger endings, I don’t think I’ll be able to stand the wait for the next installment!

Anywoo; anyone that wants a good read this is the one! Also, if you just can’t get enough of adventure, or a book like the Hunger Games, check out Graceling by Kristen Cashore!!!!! :]

So far this has to be the best book I’ve picked up in the last six months. I even preordered the next one two months ago when I saw Amazon had it up for sale. And I ordered an extra copy of both books so that I can donate them to the library so others can enjoy them.
Honestly, I couldn’t put this one down, it sucked me in so much. The world and characters Collins creatures are just so alluring and realistic and the situations she puts them in really bring up those intense questions that I would love to do a discussion on this book.

I thought that the hunger games was one of the best books I have ever read. The book was full of descriptions and it pulls you into the pages as if you are living there

Amy, thanks for stopping by and posting. There is sure to be a long line outside the bookstore when book 2 comes out!

I fell in love with this book. I read it on a whim in November, and I still think about it often, now. If you were to ask me why I love it so much, I couldn’t tell you. I’ve read it more than once, picking up on many little things I didn’t the first time because I was blowing through it so fast…it was just that great. Whenever a friend asks me what they should read, this is my first recommendation (and they all seem to adore it, too). September can’t come soon enough.
