The books didn't really have an emotional impact on me (though I wish they did) but I still liked the books.

Like you said, Peeta can be boring and predictable as the good guy most of the time but he's still very much my favorite. ♥

I think it was the first book that really impacted me emotionally. Once you get to the second book, you're already a fan, so you don't know whether you like it or not until you reach the end.

Aww, Peeta. He really deserves to be loved.

Peeta, boring?! Ô_Ô

My post is friend locked, so I don't know how many people will be able to go and read it. But anyway, I'm glad you like my way to see those books! :)

I have a question, Carla. You know at the end when they ask the victors if they should hold another hunger games, Katniss said yes. When reading it, it made sense, but then my sister-in-law asked me why, what was her reasons, and realized I didn't really get it. Could you clarify that for me??!

I never thought he was boring myself, but I know that several people thought he lacked character. Everyone has preferences, I guess?

Oh oops! I didn't notice that when I first posted it. No biggie, that link is mostly for me anyway :P

Well, what I understood from it is that regardless of what they do, things are not going to change, even under Coin's government. Everyone has a taste for revenge. I don't know whether she said yes as a cover or if she really meant it because it's hard to tell whether she was planning on killing Coin all along.

I think I need to re-read the entire trilogy to wrap my head around it.

Same. It's been one big mindfuck after another. Needs a do-over, lol!
