I'm still midway in finishing the first book (going to buy the second and third tomorrow~) but I can say that this series is epic! (With me having seen Battle Royale... I like this better)

And this is my official district ID:

So, what are your thoughts about the book?

I've only seen the movie so far. And I thought it was pretty good.
I have the books on my 'to read'-list, 'cause I think the movie was actually lacking some feelings... Meaning, I didn't cry when I had to :< So I would really like to read the books, just so I can feel the feelings the movie was missing.
Also, books are always better that the movies...so I need to read it!

I haven't watched the move yet (I will tomorrow!) but the book is sooooooooooo addicting!

I'm buying the whole trilogy tomorrow after I watch the movie :D

I watched it for the second time today, haha. T'was good. The movie follows the book, and there weren't much changes, and that's always good. I haven't read even half of the second book, though, but I'll continue it sometime.

@Nefisa: Hm, I've read the first book, but the movie didn't make me cry.

@Claire: I didn't buy it from NBS. I bought it when my school had a Scholastic book fair. I don't remember the exact price, but a THG book was over 300 pesos, but less than 400 pesos.

I actually didn't know about the books until like a few weeks before the movie was released OTL
I'll see if I can find the books in one of the few bookstores that actually sell English books. But ugh..so many books to read, so little time Dx

Haha I read first book and 6 chapters from new book and I think it's great! :D

Well, I saw Battle Royal as well...the plot is easy, but I guess they came up with such idea before Hunger Games (also, maybe the novel is better than the movie, well of course it is so I would like  to read it too or manga), so points for this, HG is more explicit and has some love relationship so..points for this :D

Hey movie was great too, with little changes but wow! I didn't Haymitch to turn so cool in the movie 8DD

Haha and I cried at the same part, in the movie and the book :D

About the time she died, I cried in the book. TEARS ;___; but in the movie, because my young sibling and young cousin nags me every time, I never collected my sentiments.

Just finished the book last night and watched the movie earlier. One of the most decent book-to-movie adaptations I've watched/read so far :D

I still prefer Battle Royale over Hunger Games, maybe because it is darker and edgier. And how easily the characters snaps, because that's how people react to that.

Now...
WARNING SPOILERS FOR SECOND BOOK!

You always remeber about everything

Always chasing after your unreachable dreams

No matter where they may take you

And yet, you don't feel lonely

Even though I've cried a little bit

And even though my heart hurts this much

Thank you for such wonderful days

Somehow... Somehow I don't feel so lonely

Thank you for those days

Thank you....

I read the books! (sped through them in 2 days after I watched the movie) LOL wasn't as good as I expected, especially the last book, lots of lose ends and it just doesn't keep the tempo up but I think catching fire would be a good movie! I liked that book the best out of the 3!
