Shortly after reading The Hunger Games (book 1) I read the 2nd book Catching Fire. I finished two days later, then began on the 3rd and final book in the trilogy Mockingjay. So in the week that it took me to read all three books, I got virtually nothing done around my house because I was so absorbed in what I was reading. They are definitely hard to turn away from. I'm not normally an advocate of reading in the bathroom, but you won't want to put it down even for something as trivial as answering nature's call.
I had recently looked up the cast for the upcoming film of the first book, and was a little taken back by the still of Peeta, a blond boy in the book, who'll be played by a brown-haired actor (he also appeared to have brown hair in the still). Not a huge deal, but not quite right. But then I saw this EW magazine cover. You can breathe a sigh of relief, Sarah.
I don't like Josh Hutcherson. He bugs me as an actor. I definitely like the way the boy who plays Gayle looks. Even if he does look like a monkey.
ReplyDeleteReally? He's one of the few young actors that I can actually stand. He made me cry in "Bridge to Terabithia."
ReplyDeleteI read all three books in about 4 days. I thought they were great! I can't wait for the movies!
ReplyDeleteI love how the magazine says "men" of the Hunger games because they are really not old enough to be considered men.
