A quick note on The Hunger Games: I, hater of all trendy lit, read the first book two weeks before the movie came out. Liked it. Loved the gender role reversal. Saw the movie. Also loved it. Stayed in and marathoned the last two books on Monday and am now absolutely in love. Will post more about this, um, at some point?

( fic ideas I probably will not write; cut for series spoilers )

Wait, so the book's worth a read? Ive been giving the idea some thought, actually.
And give Peeta a break, he might not be a good warrior, but he sure mastered the art of the cockblock...live, on TV.
Seriously.

Holy shit, go read them right now. I totally take back every single dismissive thing I said about this trend. Katniss is a fucking baller and the whole series packs a punch and NAMOR IS IN IT, WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED.

Also, I love that Peeta gets a fucking wrestling scene in the movie. FUCK YES. I mean, the book mentions that he's big/stocky/strong and good at hand to hand, but he never gets to use it? And in the movie he's just like SINGLE LEG TAKEDOWN, EAT CORNUCOPIA, BITCH.

I mean, he still loses that bout, buuuut. No shame to losing to Cato.

Ill give the book a try then; althought i do have second thoughts after reading this comment on "Mockingjay":

"Mockingjay is just one testicle-kick after another, almost always at the end of each chapter.

'We run into the burning building and there are baby pandas on fire being raped by President Snow.' End of chapter 17."

Hhahah, yes, it is kind of like that. President Snow's last scene is so fucking EPIC, though.

I actually really liked Snow. hahah. um.

I feel so bad for [character redacted] throughout the whole fucking book, though. POOR BB. but kind of poor everyone.

it ends well, though. i mean, stylishly and artistically sound.

THE BABY PANDA ON FIRE.

So, yer saying at least the first book is a must try? we totally need to chat sometime and talk the movie!

I actually think the third book is the best. The first book is gleeful fun, worthy of merit for the solid role reversal. But book three is where everything does actually come together; it is where the message is, and it's a damned good message.

also hi i will happily talk to you someday now that I have allowed myself on gchat again after writing.
