So glad you read it and loved it, Kate! Honestly? I kind of hope neither. To me that's not what this series is about, and it's not what Katniss is about. She loves them both enough for their safety to matter to her, and that's what keeps the stakes high. (Since you know I've read Catching Fire, you can probably guess from my response that there isn't an answer to this question yet. But as a romance novelist, your probably knew that anyway: save it for the big finale!) Yay! So glad you read it and loved it, Kate!

But being a romance novelist, I am trying to figure out who she ends up with--Peeta or Gale. What do you think?

I read the thing in a day, while dutifully ignoring the children. Awesome. It's been a while since I read a book and just COULDN'T WAIT to see what would happen next.

SO GOOD. The society was so realistically sick. I loved Katniss, too - she's kind of the anti-Bella, isn't she? Just read the “Hunger Games.” SO GOOD. The society was so realistically sick.

Laaaaame!" But it worked because she twisted the whole nature of the game inside out. I had the same reaction: “What, again?

Very disturbing. This is mostly unrelated, but the title alone reminded me of Kafka’s The Hunger Artist. Very disturbing.
