Alright guys, I am probably going to get A LOT of hate for posting this, but it's been bugging me for a while now.
What's all this hype about the Hunger Games? I mean, really! It's really starting to bug me, and I have legit reasons for that!
1. The Movie: The Hunger Games were nothing, not even payed any attention to... Until the movie came out! Half of the people that are Hunger Games fans would have never realized the Hunger Games series existed if they didn't come out with a movie. So, y'all are fans of the movie! I mean, congratulations to the few that read all three of the Hunger Games books way before a movie was even talked about! But, the Hunger Games are only popular because of the movie.
2. Katniss Everdeen: Katniss, Katniss, Katniss... Oh jeeze, where to start... Let's just get this out on the table. Katniss is a complete idiot when it comes to people. Surviving, sure, she's good. People? Haha, no. The character Suzanne Collins came up with was suppose to be independent, incisive, smart and violently likable. Sure, she was portrayed as that for 3 quarters of the first book.. but then it all changed. Katniss seemed to not know when enough was enough, didn't know when to shut up, and made horrible decisions. Gale, Peeta, Gale, Peeta. She comes across as an idiotic attention, pardon my french, whore. When she "decided to like Plutarch", I was like... Of course(: The Katniss we know, trying to be all superior up in the hiz-house. Well, people like her make me want to strangle her. She's an idiot. End Of Story.
3.Writing Style: The way Suzanne Collins decided to put the storyline of the Hunger Games made me just go "What the heck is coming into contact with my retina?". I know this is the writing style, but there are too many fragmented sentences. Too many periods where there should be commas. Please, finish the thought in one sentence, not five! Also, I felt everything was too choppy. Yeah, you got the initial idea of what was going on, but you never were 100% clear. At one moment Katniss is talking to Cinna, next he's dead. I mean really, I think Mrs. Collins could've put more oomph into it. Now, don't go saying it was "just too advanced" or "too fast" for me, because it wasn't. I mean, I was able to comprehend it and all, like I said, it was just too choppy...
You guys, these are nothing but my opinions. I get that some of you are extremely in love with the Hunger Games, and feel I need to be injected with massive amounts of Tracker Jacker Venom and fed Nightlocks, and I know some of you will know exactly what I am talking about. Please, if you are really in love with the Hunger Games, instead of hatemail, try to see where I am coming from? Anyways, these are just my opinions and I needed to get them off my back.

I don't see it either, Quite frankly i don't care i haven't read any of the books and most likely wont Own/Read them
ReplyDeleteThe first book is really good, and so is the movie. I would suggest taking my time to at least read The Hunger Games, but please don't waste your time with Catching Fire and Mockingjay. It't days of your life you'll never get back. Instead, take time and read something life-changing, like the Harry Potter series!
