Brainstorming Session

I would like to point out that I have a whole newfound respect for David Thorne and what he does.


Secondly I would like to point out that if you HAVE NOT read the Hunger Games A) do so NOW and B) this contains slight spoilers from book two, Catching Fire. You have been warned.

We have an unofficial book club at work. It’s mostly just me and two other girls, but occasionally 1 of our 2 male co-workers joins us (this is the only time, actually). This is a conversation we had while I waited impatiently for him to finish the book so we could discuss it.

Happy reading. :-)

I was actually disappointed the games didn’t finish. I thought that would have been more exciting, having her have to kill Finnick or have Peeta die or something. But it was still a pretty cool ending…I definitely wasn’t expecting it.

Yeah, I was hoping they’d play it out more, like an alliance between the remaining Careers and them overthrowing the Capitol. And trust me, as book three goes on, you’ll start to wish more and more that Peeta died in the arena…Gale too (even though he wasn’t there).

I say to Katniss—“Screw Peeta and Gale!! Go for Finnick!”

Are you prejudice against rhombus’ (rhombi)? Maybe Katniss should hold a Hunger Games of her own for all of her eligible bachelors? That’s one thing I hate sometimes about books, here’s this poor pretty girl and she *groan* has soooo many boys chasing after her. She must be so put out by it all!

Haha, actually, I AM prejudice against rhombi! I’m a rhombist :)

Now that would be an awesome book! You should write it! Seriously, I would buy that. But yeah, poor Katniss, it’s hard being perfect. *lame*

HAHA. So true. You start a rhombist movement and I’ll write two books, How Costco is Like the Hunger Games and Katniss’ Arena.

There’s one redeeming line in book three and it comes from Peeta. Wanna know what it is? It won’t ruin anything, promise.

I don’t think it will….

He looks at her and says something like, “You’re not much to look at, are you?” It was so funny!

I almost forgot about Haymitch! We can’t leave him out of Katniss’ Arena!!

I agree. I say he dies first, than Gale, than Peeta and Finnick have to battle it out to the death. Whoever is alive, gets the pleasure of telling off Katniss and dumping her :)

OOOHH!!! I am totally going to do a spoof of that! That is too perfect! ROFL!! But I think that it should be Gale and Finnick…Peeta’s a pansy…

Hahaha, that’s true. He’s over there frosting cupcakes while Gale and Finnick are attacking each other with daggers and axes.

Here we go, even better.

Peeta, Gale, and Finnick kill Haymitch, and realize that Katniss is just using them all and playing with and breaking hearts is what she does best, not rallying rebel forces or being the Mockingjay.

The three of them decide to kill Katniss, but when it comes down to it, Peeta buckles and professes his love for her and that this was all a mistake. Gale kills Peeta for betrayal (a cover for his true drive—jealousy).

Then he and Finnick tag team Katniss and tell her what for. Then they go off and set the mutts on her.

And I’ll still add in the cupcakes and frosting.

Hahaha, sounds deliciously evil…I love it! Maybe Peeta gives Haymitch one of his cupcakes…a POISONED CUPCAKE! MWAHAHAHHA :)
