So I loved the Hunger Games (as you all know). As previously discussed, the whole set up of the book is intriguing with the Capitol rule and the actual Hunger Games. When I got to the actual section on the Games, I couldn't put the book down. Collins does a great job of making me feel like I'm right there with Katniss as she's trying to survive the Games.
I love Katniss and I also loved that she is not in love with anyone. Peeta is in love with her but she doesn't have the same feelings. Her whole focus is on the actual games. I thought her not instantly falling in love with Peeta refreshing. She is only 15 and I found it very realistic that she doesn't know how she feels about Peeta or Gale. Overall, I think I enjoyed it because it was very different from Twilight.
I also loved that Katniss made an alliance with Rue. Rue is so young and her being chosen I think really shows the cruelty of the Hunger Games. Rue does have some skills but she isn't a fighter or hunter like Katniss or Cato.
This book is fantastic (thank you Christine!). I have already finished Catching Fire and I'm almost done with Mockingjay.
I loved her alliance with Rue. I think it showed how caring she is and intensified the love for her sister. When the game began, all the other players became animals and had no regard for life. I feel that Rue and Katniss were the two characters that really held on to their humanity.
