Kylie Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 The first trailer for The Hunger Games ~ Click here (IMDB) It looks awesome! I can't wait to see it. Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Saw the trailer at the cinema this morning. I must admit, I'm in two minds about it, but having read the books, I'll probably go and see it anyway. Quote
Weave Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 The trailer looks ace, I am still in two minds about Lenny Kravtiz as Cenna Quote
Chiara Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I'm thinking about buying these books, but a friend of mine told me not to because she thought they were kind of childish. What do you think? Quote
Michelle Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I really would not consider them childish. They have some strong characters, and they explore lots of issues. Quote
Chiara Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I'm very curious, I think I'm going to ask the trilogy box set for christmas. Quote
lauraloves Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Just to let everyone know The Works have a deal on these books at the minute, all three books for £5.99, really wanted to get them, hope the are still there on payday hehe! Quote

Michelle Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 All 3 for £4.99 at The Book People (although you will have to pay postage) http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/qs_product_tbp?storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=100&productId=252934&searchTerm=hunger+games Quote
chaliepud Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 There are free delivery codes knocking around for The Book People, probably wouldn't work for the Netherlands, but if someone wants them let me know and I'll PM them, can't guarantee they work, but worth a try! Quote
lauraloves Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Can you buy them on a website? Just had a little look on the website, and you can buy them from there, but The Book People do sell it for a bit cheaper Quote
Chiara Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I just tried to buy them but they are already out of stock. Besides, my parents told me not to, so they may have already bought them for me for christmas. Quote
BookGeek20 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I bought these books with a 20 pound book token as a gift from a friend of mine for christmas, and I can safely say that I am addicted to these books having read the first book within 24 hours of buying the set! I cannot put them down literally, I cannot wait for the movie either as it looks to be good... Quote

I cannot put them down literally, I cannot wait for the movie either as it looks to be good... I'm addicted and looking forward to the movie as well! What do you think of Catching fire so far? I just started it and I'm very curious, but unfortunately, I haven't got much time to read today. Quote
BookGeek20 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I've just started it too and it seems a bit slow at the start, but I'm also really worried for Katniss and what will happen to her and Peeta next, I so despartely want them to fall in love not just for the cameras, but for real. Quote
vodkafan Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I really would not consider them childish. They have some strong characters, and they explore lots of issues. I agree with Michelle. Most definitely worth a read. And the film looks exciting. Far better to look forward to than constant remakes and comic book adaptations. edit: I really should learn to wait to get to the end of a thread before commenting. Glad you like them Chiara.

Chiara Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Yes that would be nice, but I can't help feeling sorry for Gale if they really fall in love eventhough Gale and Katniss were never together. Yeah I don't know why my friend said it was childish because it's definitely not. Maybe she thought the dutch translation was bad, that can also really ruin a book. That's why I prefer English. Quote
BookGeek20 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Ah I see, I'm up to part 2 so far and it's going pretty good but I have a bazillion things to do now I'm back home and back into working again *sigh* I must read more tonight after zumba! Quote
BookGeek20 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Hey *bumps* I just finished reading the whole series, it really made me cry when certain characters died (sorry can't work out how to do spoiler thing?!) I loved the trilogy and finished it in a week, now time for me to go find something else to read... Quote
lauraloves Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I got the series for Christmas and I can't wait to start reading it Quote
BookGeek20 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Read it! Theyre pretty good books and I really enjoyed reading them even if they are for young people, they appeal to all ages! Quote
lauraloves Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Read it! Theyre pretty good books and I really enjoyed reading them even if they are for young people, they appeal to all ages! I will do, I've developed quite a taste for young adult books at the minute Quote
BookGeek20 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Thats great, as there are quite a few young adult books out there that are pretty good reads at the moment, I for one was really glad to read The Hunger Games after everything is like either vampires and werewolves or magic related. Quote
Timmo Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I bought all three books today from The Works for £1.50 each Quote
