Hunger Games~Part 2

While reading the second half of the Hunger Games I found it to still be very suspenseful. The first half the book I did not really enjoy because it is not the type of book I would just read for fun, but the second half I really liked a lot more! In the end Haymitch told Peeta during the interview to say that he loves Katniss. This was because it was intended to have Katniss seem like a much more interesting person, which would hopefully mean that they would get more people to send them gifts during the games. Then it happens that Peeta falls in love with Katniss during the games, but Katniss was not interested in him very much and was just going along with it for attention.During the train back Peeta got annoyed because he figured out Katniss was just messing with him and had no interest in him. Outside of the train there are reporters all over with cameras, so Katniss is just pretending to like him in front of the camera when she really doesn't. It is a key part that they are in love  because the berries made the Capitol not come off as being as strong and it is important that during the Hunger Games it needs to be seen as being strong. They had to admit that what they were doing with the berries was done from the care that they have towards each other, not because they were just trying to make the Capitol seem weak and lower. Overall, I am glad I read the book it was as great as people said it was once the second half came along. I would recommend this book to anyone!

  1. Peeta was always in love with Katniss! The author tries to make it a little ambiguous, but there are a few lines here and there that show what his real intentions are. Remember his story about Katniss singing when they were kids and all that jazz? The other books are just as suspenseful, if you liked this one you should read the whole series. The author takes the story in an interesting direction.

  2. I really enjoyed reading this as well! It is interesting to witness the unfolding relationship between Peeta and Katniss and how it started before the book does. I am eager to read the next installments in the series!

  6. Have you read the rest of the series? If not you should. I really enjoyed this book as well and was also saddened with the fact that Katniss really didn't have the same interest in Peeta as he did for her.
