MithLuin Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 [quote name='the_rev' timestamp='1325995420' post='2364818'] Everyone keeps telling me I need to read the Hunger Games. I have never really been into fiction. Pretty much my entire life I have always read non-fiction because I have a great love for expanding my knowledge. I think I will pick up the book and read it before the movie comes out. [/quote] I haven't read 'The Hunger Games', so I don't want to knock them, but....if you don't much like fiction, you probably won't like them. I've a sister who dislikes fiction, and it's frustrating/annoying when her friends tell her she 'has' to read some book. She's not going to like it. She never does. There are books she does like, but...they're nonfiction. That being said, there's no harm in trying, and if you don't like the first one, you don't have to keep reading.

EmJaez Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The Hunger Games are great. While they are fiction it's really easy to see how we could fall into this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
his_remnant Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I am working on a book discussion guide for them for a class I am taking of Youth Ministry. I've found that they are a great launching pad to talking to teens about things like violence in video games/movies and violence in life, reality TV, true love etc. I love the plot line and you can draw a lot out of the books...even our need for God, despite Suzanne Collins being an adamant atheist.

MissyP89 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The three books of the trilogy are #1, 2 and 3 on USA TODAY's bestseller list this week. Hype is building, apparently.The movie releases two months from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I read the first two. Heard mixed things about the third one. But I really want to see the movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] how could you leave off at Catching Fire...didn't you feel the need to have closure?? the series isn't complete without the ending. btw, i am not saying they are perfect but they are an excellent launching pad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysophylax Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If you are looking for some really great fiction books for teens that are rather suspenseful and really great, you should read [u]100 Cupboards[/u] by N. D. Wilson. I have not read the Hunger Games yet, but since everyone has been saying I should, I guess they are going on my reading list! I wonder how soon I can visit the library again... (one trip to the library in a week is not enough!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
