I have been waiting to read this book for ages! And now the sequel's out so I have to read that one first before I read the other one! *starts feeling the pressure and hyperventilates* I hope it's really as good as you all say it is.
I love this book. It's one of the best I have read in a long time. The plot is completely original, the characters are unique, and it's just an all-around great book. However, I absolutely hated the ending. I was literally crying after I finished the book, because the ending was so horrible. I found out a few days later that there would be a sequel, and that made me a little less angry.
It's not September but for some reason I have the second book and OMG... I got the second one in England and read it in one day in the car- and I never read in the car. Completely hooked. And the second one.... eeeh!
Simply, I recommend them to anyone. There's action and sorta sci-fi and romance and a very good portrait of humans in there. So good.

Yup. It's out. It wasn't supposed to be out - according to waterstones.com, anyway - until the 7th September. But I went in yesterday with my fellow bookworm friend and it was there, on the shelf. !!! Unfortunately, I got very distracted by The Time Traveler's Wife (we saw the film yesterday as well) which is also very good, by the way, so I didn't finish it until a couple of hours ago. But still amazing! Catching Fire is quite different to The Hunger Games, but from about halfway through it has the same I-cannot-put-this-book-down-oh-dear-lord-what-can-POSSIBLY-happen-next??? quality of the first one. Woohoo Suzanne Collins for writing such a great sequel!

xD My journalism teacher has this on display in his window, and since I can never get this book at the library, I'm thinking of asking of borrowing it. Why won't my school library open, dangit! Stock those new books so I can read!
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one.
The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.
Ok, here's my plan for reading Catching Fire: since it comes out on a Tuesday and my week is too busy for me to really sit down and read it, I'm going to wait until Friday night and read it in one sitting!
I can't wait!!!

Sometimes, it's best not to question your friends. Just help them dump the body into the river.
Even if the voices aren't real, they have pretty good ideas.
Writing isn't an excuse for insanity. It's a reason.
This is probably a little late, since all of these posts seem to be from a few years ago, from before catching fire came out, but the ending of CF was incredible! i mean, WORST CLIFF HANGER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 and i mean that as in the best cliff hanger ever. mockingjay was also completely insane! best series ever! i exaggerate, but really, they are very excellent. i am sorry. i just wanted someone to know how i feel. thanks for patience, if anyone ever reads this, because i found this post in an obscure, like 42nd page of my search for HGames, but i am with all you fans out there!
Hellodilly-odilly, there! Enjoy your time in cyberspace, creatures of the dark. Certain levels of hypocrisy (redbird gets it).
I love the Hunger Games too! Did you guys know that there is a page about the Hunger Games? It's really cool, and there is even a discussion going on where it's like a virtual HG and you are one of the tributes! It's lots of fun, and you can still join! It just counts as a late reaping! You can PM me or Sionarama for more information. Come join!
