I thought the third one was the bravest, truest and best. There are some bitter pills to swallow throughout, but I appreciate that Suzanne Collins didn't pull any punches.Erin O'Riordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829574740027964039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542645937124177600.post-30342527612066223212012-04-30T21:32:35.794-04:002012-04-30T21:32:35.794-04:00YOU PICKED ME A CINNA PIC; FANTASTIC!

Normally I'm picking it apart because it's not spot on, but honestly, I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659501597703811286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542645937124177600.post-2709137846092537032012-04-28T08:01:21.674-04:002012-04-28T08:01:21.674-04:00Great reviews on both the book and the movie.

But then my daughter did...and she HAD to read Catching Fire...and then Mockingjay (see? Sat there for years, long enough for the rest of the books in the trilogy to come out!). So I gave it a shot.<br /><br />Wow. The plot is brilliant. Yes, it's been done before (Battle Royale, a Japanese book from the 90s, is eerily similar) but who cares? The characters were believable, the tension palpable and, most importantly for me, it made me *think.* Stayed with me long after I devoured those last pages.<br /><br />And the movie was almost as good. :)Beth Balmannohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922367131603730998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542645937124177600.post-66833786269815222222012-04-28T07:00:00.823-04:002012-04-28T07:00:00.823-04:00Haymitch was BRILLIANTLY cast.
