The Hunger Games

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

French the llama! Really? Username trends again.
The Hunger Games was such a great series. When I read it, I did so in a very short time (probably less than a week), and then I read the ending and it was ruined forever. :(

You know, that's what I thought when I first read his name =P But, still, Peeta is a pretty awesome name. Just like Cinna.

Will you try it if I change back? If you don't like it after 2 chapters fine! You don't like it. But if you do, well you found a great series. Deal? :truce:
You're awesome, if no one's ever told you, which I hope is not the case. ;)

Thanks, but don't worry about it. \:D/ I may go ahead and read two chapters.. :)

As you can see in the photo, it's a pretty big book with lots of high-quality screenshots from the movie, and, although I haven't read it fully, it includes some good behind-the-scenes information about the production. It's a nice collector item; about $11 on Amazon. \:D/

I agree, but I have spent about $65 on this stuff. Not too cheap. ;)

Because he bought the first one originally to read, got hooked, couldn't find just the regular copies of Catching Fire and Mockingjay, so he bought them all as one- at least that's what i'm guessing.

Taps is completely correct! :)

The Tribute's Guide is basically profiles of the 24 tributes in the 74th Hunger Games, with a big picture of the kids from each district with their name, height and special weapon, and then I think there's some other sections of the book, but I haven't had a chance to look at it.
