In my quest to find an interesting book, I have just given up and started reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I'm not that far in the book so nothing really interesting has went down yet. For those who have seen the movie you know that she is back home from winning the games and is now living in the Victors Village. Unlike the book the movie leaves out so much detail that the book uses to make the story much more clear.
Basically it starts out just like the movie with her out hunting but only she is alone and Gale is at work. I believe that the director of the movie put Gale in that first scene to kinda play out the love triangle between Katniss, Gale, and Peta. Other similarities are that President Snow does come to her home and talks with Katniss about her attempt to kill herself and Peta in the Hunger Games. What surprised me is that they movie Used the exact dialogue that President snow said in the book.
So that's exactly where I left off with her encounter with Snow and how he tell her that she must play out the love story further to prevent an uprising and to save her life and the ones she loves.
I will keep you updated on the book and movie comparisons as soon as I dive a little bit further in.
You gave up to find an interesting book??? Why didn't you tell me? There is a book out there for you. I should have done a better job helping you find it.
ReplyDeleteToo bad nothing actually interesting has happened, you must not be very far into the book. I have never read Catching Fire but I have seen the movie. Usually movies leave out a lot of details from the books just because they don't have time and as for setting details the movie doesn't have to spend time talking about it because they just build the set to show what the author wanted to show. I think movies that are based off of books usually try to keep some of the same dialogue because then the movie stays true to the book, and people who are book fanatics would be pissed if they totally ditched the book and its dialogue. Good blog though. Keep reading!
