The Hunger Games

by Suzanne Collins.

It is part of a trilogy and i first heard it from Tumblr.

Rachel told me that i should read the book first before the movie. "The book is so good," she said. Well, she loves anything bout girls rising to power. Anyway, when the movie came out, i didn't really want to watch it. As i have not read the book. And if i did read, will i just end up disappointing. Don't want that either. 2 weeks have pass since the movie came out in theater, i finally read the book.

It was good. 
Details overlapping each other. And thanks to the movie, i can imagine the characters mentioned in the book pretty solid. Usually you just use the description of the characters. This time, i imagine the actors instead. So picturing the people and the place and how the story unfold. Pages by pages, it was more intense by the second. I am talking bout the game itself. Cause that's the only thing that matter. It is the only action happening. I am only engrossed in those chapters.

Nevertheless, i feel the pain of Peeta. Loving a girl from afar. Sad. I like Rue best. Just liked her cause she is young and small. Remind me that you shouldn't underestimate anyone. And her character is just so flow-y like flowers being blown in the wind. I don't know why but that's what she remind me of.

Kalai said that we are playing the hunger game in real life. Instead of actual weapons and physically killing each other, we use it with words and mentally. I couldn't agree more.

We are still living in a society where everyone back stab each other to get on top. I guess it is impossible to stop that. People gossip and such. I do. Even though i bring no harm, just voicing out my anger to trusted friends, it is still consider gossiping. We did say a long time ago in RP year 1, it is not gossiping just a mere discussion if the topic discussed is someone everyone do not like. It doesn't matter. Poor guy still got talked at, even though he may be at fault.

The capitol where people actually enjoy watching people suffer. Remind me of the movie Gamer starring Gerard Butler. Only the latter use criminals not children. Still, people are just sick sometime.

The book show more about politic than just a teenage girl coming of age. It has 12 districts, and its a hierarchy. The capitol rule them and anyone dares to rebel will be punished. So, those living in the bigger number district are suffering, and they have to work the hardest in order to survive. Just like our actual world.

So you should read the book. Watch the movie and compare. I will watch it when the DVD is out. Until then.
