Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Sorry OP, it's probably going to happen (it even happened with Harry Potter!). There's always going to be some people who didn't enjoy the story and if it's everywhere they're going to get sick of it and probably get annoyed. There are also people who get turned off by things that seem huge/have a fuss made over them*
And of course there's the people who compare it to Battle Royale - some claiming rip-off, some just commenting on the differences, some like the troll above. They're not really worth the time, because there's nothing wrong with a similar theme if you can still enjoy it/read it. (BR wasn't my type of book, but HG was.)

But if you love it, discuss away! I'm the only person in my entire circle of friends who has read and enjoyed it (perspective: only 1 of my friends has read it - he didn't enjoy). But I'm still expressing my excitement over the upcoming movie and a friend of mine is helping me find one of those pins so I can wear it on my jacket and be quietly nerdy/pleased over having one. I don't mind my little sandbox of happy and I just shrug off my friend's comments (or laugh back) and try not to take it seriously because although I greatly enjoyed the book - it is just a book.

The only harm I can see IS all the Twilight comparisons because, beyond female main character and maybe the 4 pages of mutts, there is no resemblance? Even the fandom isn't all over the place IRL. So my concern would be the fact it's compared to Twilight (badly written shit IMO) would turn people off.It made me keep my distance.
And maybe the "love triangle" that was handled neatly by guys going "dude, we'll let her choose and be cool with it"

BUT reading choices are definitely subjective and there will be people out there who genuinely didn't like it and are probably sick of hearing about it because they didn't enjoy it.

*I do, I take forever to get into something if it's already gigantic and well known. i.e. AtlA. Hunger Game's saving grace is it isn't too huge where I live so I could get into slowly (and by accident, I bought the wrong book. I was after Games of Thrones but forgot the proepr title)

Well, if you are looking for the pin:

Have fun at the movie!

Thanks a bunch! I didn't realise there was merchandise out already until I saw someone wearing them and they were sold out at all the local stores :X

Thanks! I don't go often to cinemas, so I'm making an event of it. C:
