But I think it worked out well in the end. I agree with you on the Gale/Peeta thing. I'm still digesting the book, though--I stayed up late last night to finish. :)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176612881975170987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-22563341859741375472010-08-25T18:27:37.976-04:002010-08-25T18:27:37.976-04:00I am sort of ashamed to admit that with all the &q...I am sort of ashamed to admit that with all the "Mockingjay" hype, I did it. I gave in, like the big social sucker that I am, and bought "The Hunger Games" today. I'm about 100 pages in and it's pretty cool.SocrMom78https://www.blogger.com/profile/03238043257356421980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-33494571568931111462010-08-24T23:41:55.639-04:002010-08-24T23:41:55.639-04:00I agree with you almost completely on every point....I agree with you almost completely on every point.<br />I found myself making constant comparisons to <i>1984</i> towards the end, which was intriguing, and I liked the way the love triangle was resolved - for a while now I was wary of Gale and his mildly (somewhat innocent) bloodthirsty ways.<br />Now my only problem is that you and my boyfriend are the only people I know who follow this series, and my boyfriend hasn't read it yet because he wants to listen to the audiobook, so I have no one to talk to about it :(Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038548350220435559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-19508283753591021432010-08-24T21:30:52.747-04:002010-08-24T21:30:52.747-04:00I went to the bookshop today and read the end of t...I went to the bookshop today and read the end of this book, because I haven't got enough money right now to buy it and I felt guilty trying to read the whole thing at the shop. Now I'm not sure I can face reading the whole book--one particular character death sounds like it might be too much for me. :/Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-74282735655407186722010-08-24T18:57:42.436-04:002010-08-24T18:57:42.436-04:00FANTASTIC review!

(And I got chills reading your review).<br /><br />I plan to re-write my review once it's been out a while because I don't want to spoil things for friends.. but I think I'm gonna refer people to this review if they want to read one with spoiler info - I don't think anyone could write it better.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641063105148112636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-8265762922481468752010-08-24T17:01:56.745-04:002010-08-24T17:01:56.745-04:00Ack!

I'm still waiting for it all to sink in, though. I want to give it a week, read it again slower, and then write up my thoughts. I don't think I could do justice to them now.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
