THESE BOOKS ARE SO ADDICTIVE! I read each of them in a night - every time, I was like NO I will NOT stay up until 3:30AM reading this. And each time I was so wrong. UGHHHH I can't wait for you to read Catching Fire! One of my favourite characters/plot lines emerges in book 2. ALSO Cinna is amazing and one of my favourites. As is Prim. I saw the trailer for the movie in the cinema last week (I've seen it a gabillion times already lol but seeing it on the big screen was AMAZING) and I got all excited and a bit emotional and my mum was all confused and like 'why are you so excited about this??' BUT I AM SO EXCITED. Especially now I've seen Jennifer Lawrence in Like Crazy and she was amazing so I totally trust her now. She will be wonderful as Katniss.
Oh my god, this comment is ridiculous, I have had like no sleep and I'm just really excited about the movie lol.
Obviously my ideas of what the characters looked like have been influenced by the film traliers and promos, but yeah, I think Jennifer Lawrence is going to be an amazing Katniss - she really can act! I love that moment you first see a trailer on the big screen, it's the best, and just that rush of excitement always reminds me why I love the cinema itself, not just the movies they show.
It's always really interesting hearing people's thoughts on the first book before they've read the others. Some of the things you want to happen definitely will while others totally won't. In fact, I half winced at some of your points because you might be in for a bit of a disappointment in those regards. I'm not going to spoil you, obviously, so you'll see what I mean!
I hope you like the next two though. Despite stuff not happening exactly as you may want, they're still pretty thrilling reads! :D
I'm really, really excited! It's weird and fascinating seeing other people react as they go through things you've already read or watched isn't it? I did that just recently with a couple of friends watching BSG for the first time, which if you don't know has a lot of plot twists and cliffhangers and spoilers to carefully not tell them. But I particularly wanted to do this because I think particularly when you read stuff so fast it's easy for it to blur together. And since I've obviously missed 3-4 years of fandom discussion, I want to express myself at least a bit. Then I can go back and compare, and have more of a coherent understanding of my own reactions lol. I don't mind if I don't get what I want if what I do get is still good, haha - excited to see where it goes next!
