There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
CINNA IS THE BEST.
HE REALLY IS. I felt the whole time reading that were I to somehow end up living in the Capitol (not that I would EVER want to, the whole world in those books is just horrifying) that Cinna and I would be the very best of friends. He's awesome.
I am really hearting him for that. And I am very intrigued by the vocal, if sometimes subtle, rebellion, by all the victors. Until the interviews, it wasn't really clear they felt that way, but, man, they're ALL pretty pissed that they've been called back into the ring to die (and I wonder how many suspect that the Seventy-Fifth Annual Hunger Games are really the most elaborate assassination attempt since the Triwizard Tournament). WHAT IF THEY ALL JUST REFUSE TO KILL EACH OTHER??? How badass would it be if they all teamed up to take on the Capitol? Yeeeeah, maybe throwing together the best and strongest proven killers from your country wasn't the brightest idea, huh?
Not having read any of the books, but having read the white font: Spartacus!
I don't want to do anything else but finish Catching Fire. GODDAMMIT. I am so worried for everyone. The arena is WATER?? Do they just want everyone to drown? WTF.
it's almost as fun to read your reaction as it is to read it for the first time, P-C.
Personally, I'm surprised that the Gamemakers didn't rig Katniss's platform to "accidentally" blow up.
P-C, I JUST got there! I took it to read during Sara's swimming lesson, and once again was almost in tears right there on the pool desk with the reveal of the transforming wedding dress and Peeta ad libbing Kat's pregnancy .
These books are going to kill me.
These books are going to kill me.
Most likely, yes
These books are going to kill me.
Most likely, yes
Over and over and over. And then again.
Jesus Christ, the Gamemakers are sadistic bastards. OMG THE FOG. And what the fuck THE CRAZY MONKEYS. I love that the arena is a clock, though. And as soon as Katniss figured it out, THEY SPUN IT AROUND BECAUSE THEY'RE DICKS. I am interested in the fact that everyone is trying to save Peeta. I was a little annoyed that the rebellion narrative was derailed by the Games, but I like that it's really continuing and making these Games a different sort of experience. Except I have no idea how it's going to end up this time. Is ita's boring, inconsequential Finnick going to survive too? Will Peeta? Will...Katniss? I mean, I wouldn't put it past Collins to kill off Katniss and have the third book narrated by Peeta, but I figure I would have heard about something that big. I'm about forty pages from the end and will finish the book today. Last night I left off with Katniss hearing the familiar screaming of...Prim. WHAT. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET ANY WORK DONE TODAY. I HATE YOU SUZANNE COLLINS.
