The Hunger Games
My Rating: 3 stars I walked into the theater with very high (very unrealistic) expectations for this movie. I guess had these high expectations because, well, the Hunger Games books themselves are one of the best young adult novels ever written, I expected its movie to be as mind-blowing as the book. Now, don’t me […]

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
My Rating: 5 stars *Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t read The Hunger Games, don’t read!* The sequel to the amazing book, The Huger Games, is as breath-taking and suspenseful as the first. Life is good for the 74th Hunger Games winners, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They’ve got all the money they need to help […]
