I read this book in middle school and I can honestly say it was one of my favorites. I read through it quickly, even reading during lunch. It was so enjoyable and it was nice to read about the journeys of being a teen while i was just entering my teen years.
A smart and interesting take a on children story. The subtle horror of it all gives you chills and the helping cat was a very nice touch. Coraline is a protagonist you can’t help but love and root for. Her interesting look on life is written to perfect.
The sickening other mother is such a scary touch. Her character overall is insanely creepy and probably one of my favorite antagonist ever.
Overall this tory is written perfectly and can be a fast but easy read. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror or just likes the Coraline movie in general.

The book had a lot to live up to (expectation-wise). I grew up watching the franchise and I finally decided to jump into reading the book. It was worth every second. Katniss is much more enjoyable in the book then in the movie. It was easy to root for her. You get to know Katniss better in the book. The relationship between Peeta and Katniss was also enjoyable to watch unfold. Even if Katniss was too dense to realize that Peeta truly does have feelings for her. I would most definitely recommend.
My sister told me about this book being her favorite of the series, and I understand it.
Watching Katniss slowly realize that the rebellion was happening because do her action in the 74th Hunger Games and that she actually might was the rebellion to happen was nice. Katniss’ inner dialogue as to why she didn’t want it was reasonable. All she’s ever cared for was her sister and now her mother. She has to make a choice, either risk it all and continue with the rebellion, or stop and go along with whatever Snow says.
The romance isn’t as prominent mainly because Katniss doesn’t exactly know what her feelings for Gale are. Does she actually love him romantically? Or does she love him in a more big brother sense? I think that Katniss doesn’t exactly know what these feelings are due to the fact that she’s only 17 and hasn’t felt this way about anyone. Her choosing Gale was a result of Peeta not talking to her. Gale was there for her when she was recovering from the aftermath of the games. In her mind, her feelings for Gale must be romantic. But they aren’t.
Finnick is the loml.
Haymitch needs to chose his words better.
Peeta deserved the world.
And Cinna was done extremely dirty.

This book tormented me emotionally. This book is the saddest of the three. I cried A LOT. The one person Katniss went into the games to protect ends up dying at the hands of the person she could supposedly trust.
Gale and Katniss’ relationship has been permanently damaged due to the fact that Hale participated in the making of the bomb that would kill those kids as well as Prim.
Nearly everyone Katniss had in her life is dead. All because they had one goal, to kill president Snow.
Katniss had been through hell and back in these past three books and it’s sad to see her ending so bitter-sweet. It didn’t even feel real. I’m glad she got to spend the rest of her life happy with Peeta and eventually her two kids. But the journey those two were on will most likely haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series but the last book I feel could have been better in some aspects. I really wish Finnick would have lived. Of all the characters, Finnick deserved to live the most. I’m shocked Gale even made it this far.

Reading this was a journey. Not because the book is bad but because it was just difficult to enjoy reading something with such an unlikable main character.
I will admit there were parts where I felt bad for Coriolanus and then I remembered what he did to Finnick and my tear ducts became dry. And I think that's what I don't like about this book. How unnecessary it is. I already knew Coriolanus Snow was a terrible person. And I feel like characters such as Sejanus were just added to add to that point. They built up their friendship for his to die due to Coriolanus' selfishness.
The whole book just felt empty to me.
The whole time I'm reading I just knew Sejanus and Lucy Grey wouldn't make it. And that made me so fucking sad.
The fact that Lucy Grey's story and Hunger Game was hidden and never heard of again makes me so fucking sad. Lucy Grey was someone who was kind and strong, who beat the odds and deserved a happy ending. We will never know if she got a happy ending. Also, I never once believed that Snow actually loved Lucy Grey. It felt like he loved the attention and fame he got by being associated with her.
Overall, this book made me extremely depressed and I regret reading it.

This book is worth the money and time you put into it. An incredible look into child actors, abusive, manipulative parents, and more. Jennette puts a humorous spin onto her traumatic experiences as a child, teen and adult. It's a glimpse into the life of someone most of us grew up watching. Some parts were hard to read (due to the uncomfortable feeling it left you with) but you just can't put the book down until you finish every little bit. I would most definitely recommend to anyone.
I might not like how Stephen King writes. Maybe it’s just me. The book was okay. Not his best work. The ending was shocking but there was a wholesome feeling in the last 2-3 pages. I was tense though. But it took a while to get to the main point. The drama was annoying at times. Overall, I wouldn’t read it again and I don’t think I would recommend it to anyone.
So, I read this book when I was a lot younger and I decided to re-read now that I'm older. It was an intense book. The romance had me wishing for the best ending possible. It was sorta fast-paced. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. There were intense moments that talked about serious issues. The random tosses of humor were funny and eased the situations.
