The Hunger Games - Comments

I really liked this book, it was so different to anything I had ever read before. I can't remember why I started reading it, but once I did, I was hooked. Dystopian/war type stories aren't really my thing, but Suzanne Collins opened me up to such an interesting and new world that it was hard to turn away from the book. I loved how relatable Katniss was and I especially loved the love triangle between her and Gale and her and Peeta. I adored Peeta from the very start, though and I am glad they ended up together. Movie Gale though (Liam Hemsworth) Great casting on that part!

Very well written article!

I've seen a few of the big reviewers out there (yahoo) make the same mistake with the Peeta/Katniss relationship. Overall a nice review, though. Can't wait for the movie!

Nice review; I love the Hunger Games.

Thanks, I'll go and fix that now. The reason I used 'childhood friend' is because I thought I saw that in the book somewhere, or some other place. I'll change that too

Nice review! Although I disagreed with your opinion on a character or two, it was pretty well written. You have a few awkward sentences, but you've got one crucial plot mistake:

[i]Then Katniss’s childhood friend, Peeta, is picked and they’re shipped off to the capitol.[/i]

Capitol should be capitalized, but the big mistake here is the term 'childhood friend'. They were never friends; before the Games, they hadn't even spoken, so that term is incorrect. She had only one run-in with him where he tossed bread to her and then she mentioned he stared at her sometimes. That's it. At the start of the story, the term 'childhood friend' is a vast overstatement. I'd go back and fix that.

Other than that, everything else was okay. Not too shabby of a review.
