I've had some recommendations from students, and so I've decided to try out book two of the Hunger Games series, Catching Fire. I'm not totally sold on this, but the first book was good enough to get me started. I'm only a few pages in, so I can't judge it yet.
I do have some questions though:
- Will Katniss choose Gale or Peeta?
- How does she get involved in the competition again?
I'm hoping that the plot gets into how terribly the Capitol treats the people, and maybe Katniss will confront them somehow.
I always form questions before I read a book, and I start to make predictions, too. This book's interesting because you really don't know exactly where it's going to go after the ending of book 1.
Has anyone else read this book? What did you think?
I really want to read that book now thanks to you Mr.Milbrand
ReplyDeleteStart with the first book, Hunger Games.
DeleteMr. Milbrant are the books the same as the movie and sould I read the books are they good.
DeleteThe first book is just like the movie. It's pretty good.
DeleteI read this book!! Even though I already read this I thought that Katniss would betray Peeta
ReplyDelete& kill him!That didn't happen though :-(
Spoiler alert!
DeleteSPOILER!
DeleteLuke .J, I agree you just spoiled it , that was not very nice.
DeleteWow luke..... what an instering mine you got there but truly i think that there are in love!!!
DeleteYuck!
DeleteIm not mean i just express myself differently.I also agree with Mr.Milbrand.Yuck!
Deletei agree they with sara D they would be a aweswome couple though
DeleteI have seen the movie but never read the books. I am looking for a new book to read, do you have any book requests???
ReplyDeleteWarriors series . find them in the library in the fiction hun section
DeleteI suggest the Sisters Grimm Series!
DeleteI think you should read Harry Potter. Those books were interesting.
DeleteI think that you should read charletts web.... its a good book and funny!!!
DeleteI agree with Sara, Charletts Web was a great book, and was one of the best books I've ever read!
DeleteI am half way done the book... so far its pretty good but i havent read it since summer. Im probably just going to start over soon so its fresh in my mind.
ReplyDeleteI read the whole series! It was so awesome! The second book also slowed me down a little, but I read through it and I ended up loving it!! Have you seen the first movie?
ReplyDeleteI fell asleep during the movie, but I will keep trying with the book. I hope it gets better.
DeleteIt does get better! I was kind of slow on the last book, though. It took me about three months to finish it, because it was so detailed!
DeleteI read this book a long time ago and Mr. Milbrand its a good book, But i would not roccomend the last book. Its crazy and new Wars going on! But if i did not read this book yet i would think that Katniss would pick Peeta over Gale.
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for Gale.
DeleteSorry,Mr Milbrand I`m rooting for peeta he is kind also he seems as if he loves katniss more than gale just saying(;
DeleteYes me too nicole TEAM PEETA (:
DeleteI love this book and it's very action packed
ReplyDeleteI really liked the first book and I think it was the best book in the series. I agree with you, Catching Fire was not the best and it slowed me down too. I read the the last book, Mocking Jay, but I stopped in the middle because it was so boring. I will try to finish it though. I also saw the movie, but it didn't show some parts, though I still enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteKelly i agree ,it was the best but it did slow me down to !!! :( :)
DeleteI love catching fire , its great and I want to describe the book very sad,and good!!!!!!!!:(
ReplyDeleteIt's not sad
DeleteMr.Milbrand I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Catching Fire was my favorite book from the Hunger Games series. I can agree that it was boring in the beginning, but it got really good in the end. Also if you think the second book is boring you should check out the third book instead it's really exciting yet sad if you see me in class you will see my whole bunch of the hunger game books there but I'm telling you keep on reading it gets better and the third book is pretty good so check that one out too. Also what did you think of the first one
ReplyDeleteI liked Rue, but you know what happened there. The first book was ok. I'll keep going.
DeleteBoo Hoo!!
DeleteYay thanks Mr. MIlbrand tell me the how yo feel when yo are done.
DeleteAlso I saw the movie great sad part rue dies ): Stil good
ReplyDeleteThough I'm not in this grade I have to side with Mr.Milbrand. I only read like half of the book maybe less, but I thought it was really boring and it wasn't in my interest. Plus, i'm more interested in the genre of comedy. Anyways, I've been told to read it again, but I never had the time or the interest to finish the book.
ReplyDeleteP.S - if your wondering how I found this Alyssa and Sarah N. used my iPod to post.
Sam I can't believe you said that even when I was right next to you it was awesome and you told me you read like two pages so you can't just say it boring you really didn't read it(:
DeleteAhem Sarah that was Alyssa who said I read two pages and I can't blame you for believing her because she's your best friend, but anyways I read to around chapter 12. I know that some people said they thought it was boring including Mr. Milbrand and I happen to be in that group too. I'm sorry if it offends you in anyway, but that's my opinion of the book. Maybe one day I'll finish the book, but as for right now I'm not interested and think its boring.
DeleteSam you didn't even get to the good part so keep reading and I'll give you my book but please don't judge it yet and please keep reading and plus i know your opinion will change soon(: and I can tell this conversation going to be lonnnngggg
DeleteWow Sarah! You should be on like some kind of debate team! �� Though I'm really not interested in reading it again I might give it another try. Plus, this conversation will be going on for ever if I don't just suck it up and read the book. Yeah, I bet you this WILL go on forever! ;)
DeleteI have to disagree it didn't slow me down at all and it wasn't boring to me but I guess I can't convince everyone ):
DeleteThat was supposed to go to Abbie! (and sort of Sam)
DeleteWow! Long conversation! Glad to see Keith Valley is represented here! Hi Sam!
DeleteYeah it was a really long conversation! Hi Mr.Milbrand! How are you? Tell your students I said hi! Can't wait to visit again! :)
Deleteyeah it is a long conversation but the good news i made sam read the hunger games!!!!!!!
DeleteIt's supposed to say Alyssa's older sister! They bumped me while I was typing…
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah, the movie was sad when Rue dies. I still thought it was a really good movie.I liked in the end how it had the game creator and the berries.
ReplyDeleteYes when i was at the theaters my sister a.k.a lauren and nora cried like crazy but i was suprised because i didn`t cry at all also my sister lauren cried at the part with peeta and katniss when they pulled out the berries
DeleteSome good books that I read are the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. They really hooked me in right from the beginning and made me keep on reading. I would recommend them if you like action packed books. Also I would recommend Black Beauty. It was a good book that I read twice and still want to read it again. The Ramona series are really good books by Beverly Cleary. I am reading Twilight right now and it is slow in the beginning.Other really good books that I read are Andrew Clements books, Little Women, and Sarah, Plain, and Tall.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you don't like this book you should try Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh.
ReplyDeleteOh. I never read that one. How's it going for you?
DeleteHi Mr Milbrand..... about the hunger games...... well did you read the first one ??? Well i did and i thought it was amazing!!! The second book was a little boring at first... but at the end it was really good so my opion would be to finish the book and that might change your mind. So try to read the book and let me know what you thought.!! Have a good night:)
ReplyDeleteAlso i would recommend the twighlt series ... but it might be to girly! Have you seen the movies!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know how Catching Fire turns out. Twilight might not be for me. I saw the movies, but vampire/werewolf romance may not be my style. :)
DeleteWatch out Mr.Milbrand it is tooooo lovey for even my mom!!! :-x
DeleteLuke, your comments are hilarious!!!
DeleteSorry sara D but i HATE twilight i think it is stupid and why do vampire sparkal in the sun (WIERD)
DeleteI appreciate your comment mr.milbrand!!
