Hunger Games--possible spoilers

I think some of you have read these books, right? I'm halfway through the second book, and while they're great so far, I'm finding them very difficult to read, emotionally. I just can't imagine living the way the characters in the book do, or experiencing the things they do at the hands of their own government. Did anyone else feel this way? It's like I want to keep reading them (and I will) but it's almost depressing to do so.

Re: Hunger Games--possible spoilers

  • Yes, I felt the same. The 3rd book was particularly hard on me.

    I'm really interested to see if the emotions transfer to screen... 

  • The stuff that happens in the 3rd book were the worst IMO. I did love the series though. I can't imagine living the way those people did. I had to view it as a fiction series and not try to imagine too much how it would transpire in real life if that makes any sense.

  • Glad to hear I'm not alone! Everyone is always raving about the books, and I do agree that they're very good, but I wasn't really prepared for this. Kate, I'm kind of nervous to see the movies...it's bad enough imagining it in my mind! Krissy, I totally understand what you mean, I keep having to tell myself, "It's just a story."

  • I think one of the things that'll help the movies is they purposely picked older actors so you're not looking at them as children as much. The little kids thing really got me in the books.

    I agree. It's hard to imagine that people would do this to one another, and to kids especially... unfortunately there are enough places on this earth that make the events in the hunger games look like child's play.

    This is I think the only way I will get thru the movie. The actress for Rue still looks so young though... Ugh

    Do you know if they are doing all 3 as a movie or just the first one?

    The actress for Katniss has been quoted discussing the 2nd film, so I assume all 3.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure the one coming out in March is just covering the first book. That way, more $$$ for everyone, I'm sure.
