Helpful Score: 1
Finally decided to check this one out. I saw the movie with my husband and everyone just keeps talking about the books. It seemed to me that the movie was right on with the book. There were something's that were added to the movie, like seeing bits of what was going on outside of the Games that made it more whole.
I feel like the book was not as bloody as some other reviews have made it sound. Don't get me wrong I don't think that's a bad thing, it is a YA book after all. As for if it is or isn't realistic, I could very easily see us getting to a "show" like this with the crap they put on TV these days.
I felt like I got to know the main character in her time in the Games. Her choice to volunteer in the first place and then her relationship with Rue. I also have a younger sister and understand the drive to protect family. The "relationship" with Peeta, who by the way I could easily see was not pretending about his feelings.
I will be reading the other two books and actually am excited to see what happens!
