Love this book!!!!!!!!!  I finished it in two reading sessions, so I definitely agree that it is a real page turner.

My favorite character is Katniss!  I always love a fierce, independent woman/ okay young woman role!!!

I think that Peeta has a real crush on Katniss, but she is a bit clueless about it! 

I can't wait to see the film.  I really hope that they don't screw it up!

Ok, I couldn't stop reading the book, so needless to say I'm done. I read the last few chapters out loud to my bf bc he got tired of me gasping and screaming, "oh my goodness!". I plan to start the second book this weekend. Its definitely an excellent book!

How are you getting on with your book Lauren..?? :) 

I could not put this book down! So addicting and I loved it. I am so excited to start the second one!!

I would have to say my favorite character is actually Peeta. I love how in love he is with Katniss and I think his sharpness during the games is so appealing. He has a very secretive way about him that I think makes the book so interesting and I love the relationship between the two. 

1. My favorite character is Peeta. I think he's just really creative and smart. Even though he has no experience with battle or hunting, he can definitely think fast and knows how to handle any situation. His fascination with Katniss is just impressive and I think he's really sweet. He's the kind of guy who will do anything for her, and I admire him for that. I like his mysteriousness too.

2. I think Katniss and her Mom had this certain misunderstanding that just took over Katniss in a tremendous level. Katniss, despite her eagerness to survive, needed help from her Mom more than ever and as someone who is still growing up, it's becoming quite a struggle for Katniss to not just take care of her Mom, but also her little sister Prim.

3. Peeta is more of a friend to Katniss, and I think because of the games, Katniss sort of struggled to notice that fact.

I already read past Part I too and i liked to answer your questions :)

1. My favorite character is also Katniss. Because she willingly to take care of her family when her father died ( although i know she doesn't have much choice about that :( ), she's strong, independent, confident, loving and i believe she's pretty too. :)

2. Katniss hold so much resentment toward her mother because her mother couldn't do her responsibilites as a parent, while the condition in District 12 itself is very impossible for a young girl to survive moreover have to fend a sister and mother. Lucky for Katniss her father taught her so well about haunting in the wood and given her knowledge about plants. 

3. On part 1 i only can see Peeta as a friend to Katniss, he's so kind from the very beginning remembered he is the one who gave Katniss hope to survive from her unfortunate fate. But i agree with you Lauren this hunger games could change their relationship.

1. My favorite character is Katniss because she is such a strong person throughout the book and although you can see some of her emotions she never really complains about all the hardships of being in the arena

2. I think Katniss resents her mother because she had to take over as the 'mother figure' of the house while her mother was dealing with the loss of her dad. Although her mom did not intentionally hurt Katniss she put a lot of responsibility on Katniss's shoulders.

3. I think Peeta truly has a crush on Katniss. He had is eye on her before they even enetered the arena and the hunger games presented an opportunity for Peeta to get to know Katniss and truly like her.

I am so excited for the movie to come out in March. Here is the link to a fan made trailer that was produced before the official trailer came out. I personally think its way better than the official trailer...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_jw3z68TW0

I am so excited to be a part of the Book Club :) and I am loving The Hunger Games so far.. and LC, I am sure you're getting this from all us girls, but I love your new line at Kohls! I told my dad all I wanted for Christmas was Lauren Conrad sweaters and jeans from Kohls, and he was like, "that's all?" If he only knew ;)

1. Katniss is my favorite, and I think she is everyones favorite just because we are closest to her.  I like that while she is motivated and strong, she is also insecure, and even though she claims not to be.. vulnerable. She is very much like many women ages 14-34!  and I can relate to her feelings of unsurity and anxiety.

2.  There's the obvious reasons Katniss resents her mother, but I think there could be more to it.  Her mother was very affected by the loss of her father, and never being in love before, I think it is impossible for Katniss to relate to her mother's feelings of loss. Maybe she resents her mother because she hasnt been able to live a normal life in her teens, maybe she blames her mother for her fathers death, i dunno... or maybe she is just taking the pain out on her mother.

3.  I was shocked to hear Peeta say he has had a crush on Katniss for years.  He adored her from afar, and I believe it's genuine.  Katniss has trust issues, so she probably wont ever let Peeta in, and I think she is in love with Gale.
