The Hunger Games

No as in Hungry Gnomes. I think you knew that lol:)

WHAAAA?

So have you watched the HG? :)

hit girl?

Not the hungry gnomes, no we aint watched that.

Haven't been on here for a while, but I thought I'd post here. :) I have both read and watched the Hunger Games. They really aren't as bad as some people think. The story itself uses violence to speak against violence, to state it simply. As SavedByGrace pointed out, the good characters only kill to defend, and the bad characters are denounced for their violence and cruelty. And the good characters are certainly admirable for their courage and loyalty. All HG fans know what Katniss so unselfishly did to save her sister. Peeta wouldn't allow the Capitol to change him into what he was not. Cinna boldly made a statement against the tyranny of the Capitol, although it cost him dearly. And much, much more that couldn't all be listed. Also, in our world today, we see many of the struggles exemplified in the world of Panem. I won't describe these in detail here, but if you've read the books or seen the movies, you'll understand. ;)

Thank you for that. I actually read a summary for HG when the books first came out, and I wanted to read them, but bad press killed my desire. I just might look into them now.

do it! lol I haven't read then but the movies r EPIC!!

My pleasure :) I'm sure you'll enjoy the series!

@Everyone- do you think I should write a more detailed review of the Hunger Games? Like a blog post or something?

if you want to.. lol I know I'd enjoy reading it. :P

yeah noah u may want to delete that post since uh.. it doesn't look like ur replying to anyone.. :P

Or to you. But we all know he'd never say that, as he was one of the most vocal in asking for you to come back.

lol that's only cause he though it may have been his falt… ya know that whole thang..

The third one is especially dark

BTW! there is some language in it.

A link to the whole movie?

May I have a cookie with my virus?

If it had a virus her computer scanner would catch it and not let her watch it, or even go to the website.

I apologize. But, most of the time, such links are home to all sorts to viruses and malware.

Yea they are most the time

And, most of the time, they appear in comment boxes on the website known as "YouTube".

lol that's only cause he though it may have been his falt... ya know that whole thang..

But that weren't the reason I wanted you to come back, I truly did misseth you!

Now that I've read the first Hunger Games book, I can tell you my reaction.

It was awesome. :)

I can honestly say, all claims of the Hunger Games books glorifying violence are unfounded and misguided. The books never glorify any killings, and the only characters who enjoy the fighting are bad. I loved the character development in the book, you really got to get into Katniss' head and see how she thinks, which is always a good thing in a book. Overall, I'd recommend them to anyone 12 and up. :)

I agree, except for the age part. I only say this because the second and third books contain stuff that is not appropriate for kids 12 or 13, and when you finish the first, you will really want to get your hands on the second. I'd say 14 and up is a better age range. :)

Okay she might have read it, but does it make it appropriate for kids her age?

Because everyone else is, that's why! :P

Thanks for saying so guys! I would have never guessed before you made that clear for like the fourth time!

I agree with Ian but I think age itself can be a poor meter sometimes it depends mostly on maturity in certain areas.
