What I've been up to (last one of these from me for a while since we're starting spring cleaning and fun things like gaming and anime fall by the wayside until we're finished):

Gaming: Working on Devil Summoner 2. Not too terribly far into it since I've been busy, but I think I'll burn through it like I did the first game once I get time to

Wait until you read Mockingjay. Finnick's storyline will BREAK. YOUR. HEART. Seriously. Peeta too.

By the end of the series, I really disliked Gale. Which is ironic because I thought he was great in Hunger Games and didn't seem all that bad in Catching Fire. I almost considered him an antagonist by the end,

I loved Mags, Finnick and Johanna though. All three are just awesome characters. I especially love the dynamic between Katniss and Johanna in Mockingjay.

I accidentally spoiled myself for Finnick's ultimate fate (should probably stay away from Wikipedia until I finish book three, which I'm working on now XD). I'm undecided on Gale. I didn't like Peeta at all in book one, but in book two I thought he was great. Very sincere and intelligent.

Peeta's really likeable in book 3 as well. Tragic as well.

I found "The Hunger Games" quite commercial and with a too-much "hollywood ending". I found Catching Fire better... And I just finished Mockingjay and consider it Literature, with a capital "L". Collins has managed the chance Rowling missed: to start a series as something commercial and just for fun and entertainment, and make the reader "graduate" into thinking deeply about serious and disturbing topics

I didn't care a whole lot for the first book. It was fun in a pulpy sort of way and was a quick read, but I couldn't help but see it as "watered down version of Battle Royale". I think the second book was my favorite, only because I grew to love the characters assembled there and thought it was the most exciting. It was the one I had trouble putting down
