Geez Louise, I got sucked into the Hunger Games madness. (Thanks Maria). I had the opportunity to watch the film "Hunger Games" before ever reading any of the books and I was quite surprised.
Typically I'm all about reading the books and maybe just maybe watching the movie after. I think that the book version of anything they try to create in a movie is usually way better than the actual movie most of the time. I can't say for sure when it comes to Hunger Games because I didn't have the priviledge to read the book beforehand.
Anyway, after watching the Hunger Games I was hooked. It's a great story and since there are two more books following the first story I decided to read "Catching Fire" because I simply could not wait for part 2 of the movie to come out in theaters.
For my birthday my wonderful hubby bought me a Kindle Fire so it was the perfect opportunity for me to test it out and read Catching Fire. I read this 300 page book in about 3 days and it was also a very good read. Now since I have read the book first I am interested to see how much I will like or despise the actual film when it is released.
The only problem I had when I was reading Catching Fire is that Katniss and Peeta were already characters I had seen so I didn't have the opportunity in my mind to imagine how they must look. It was also a lot more about weapons, killing and blood than I had imagined.
I am now on Mockingjay, I have only read the first chapter due to a teaser my Kindle Fire provided. I am debating if I should just pay the $6 and own 1 book of the 3 or see if I can somehow borrow the last book in the trilogy from someone.
Maybe I should finish the other two books I am currently reading first, now that's an idea!
