frankie Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 You should be able to find 'edit' in the right-hand bottom of your post, click that and edit away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie P Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I don't think new guests can edit yet, I learnt that myself. I think you can do it after 50 posts. If not as Frankie said it will be on the right hand bottom of post! Andie P x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickUK Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 'The Hunger Games' (Book #1 of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy). This book is pretty good. I loved it. It's both exciting and thrilling. I started reading it and I couldn't stop until I was finished. It somehow makes us to actually care about what will happen to the main characters. It's probably because of the well written plot and the character's personality and actions during the games. At first instance, you just want Katniss and Peeta to leave the arena and win the games, but later on you realise their problems will get much worse than that. It's a must-read! I'm currently reading the second book of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy - 'Catching Fire'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickUK Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks to both of you The second book is pretty good, too. I'm on my way to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickUK Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 'Catching Fire' (Book #2 of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy). This book is more than perfect. It's full of mysteries, surprises, happy and sad moments and of course, plenty of exciting happenings. While you read through the chapters, you don't realize what's gonna happen next. You ask yourself: What's this book gonna be about if there's supposedly no more hunger games for Katniss to be put into? And then, again, you get caught with your mouth opened when you find out what. The exciting happening about the first book was about the hunger games, in the second book there's much more than that. The games is only one third of the book. The book is perfectly written, the new characters are well placed into the story and you feel happy and/or sad when stuff happens to them. I could only care for some characters of the first book, now reading the second book I started caring and feeling deeply concerned about other characters's lives. The first happenings of the book makes you feel worried about Katniss and people around her. Later on you realize there's much more for you to worry. Suzanne Collins is totally a new icon of the literature for me. What she's done is not just a book, it's a story to be placed on our hearts and never be forgotten. 'Catching Fire' is by far the best book of this trilogy. PS: I don't know about the last one, I haven't read it yet. I'll start reading 'Mockingjay' in a few hours.

chesilbeach Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Good review Patrick, I'm glad you enjoyed Catching Fire but I have to admit, I didn't like it as much as The Hunger Games, but I guess we all have different tastes in our reading!

PatrickUK Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thank you Yes, that's true. We all have different tastes in our reading. I liked 'Catching Fire' better than 'The Hunger Games' but it wasn't a very big difference. Just a small difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
