I adore the Hunger Games franchise. I think the writing could be a tiny bit better in the books but I have realized the books are meant to be accessible to people from preteens to adults so the writing style makes sense when you take that into account. Sometimes I wish the books were a bit longer and there was a bit more information...

Having said the above I am also obsessed with the Hunger Games! I started reading information about the first movie well ahead of its release date and I did the same for Catching Fire. I throughly enjoyed both movies but I would say the second one was done a bit better. Mostly because they had a bigger budget after the overwhelming success of the first film and all of the merchandise but also because they selected a main character that people love through and through. Jennifer Lawrence makes almost everyone happy, from parents, to children, to teenagers and people in their 20s and 30s. People love to love J Lawrence and I am no exception. I enjoyed her performance in Winter's Bone so I had high hopes from her before the Hunger Games started. It's refreshing to have a legitimate actress on a franchise and not just someone who is available.

I cannot wait for Catching Fire to come out on DvD so I can rewatch it. I loved seeing all of the characters represented well in the film. The arena for the second book is also my favourite, I definitely think they depicted it perfectly. The costumes this time around were also amazing... I cannot express how much of an improvement the movie was from the first one and I was already happy with the first film.

Anywho. I love the Hunger Games series and I am excited for both instalments of Mockingjay. If anyone hasn't read the books then I highly suggest picking them up and reading them. They're easy to follow and a fairly short read imo. Definitely worth it.
