    She was. Mags took her place at the Third Quarter Quell when her name was reaped.

      I know, but I'm talking about the games that she'd won previously. I just never got the impression that she was a Career, because, instead of joining a hunting party, she ran off and hid. She just seems more to me someone a person would volunteer for.

        Oh, I see now what you are saying. Duh is me.

        She seemed super timid and mousey. And yes, you would have expected one of the Careers to volunteer in her place for the honor of it all. But did 3 and 4 have trained Careers like 1 and 2 did? I may have to reread this afternoon!

        Did you see the trilogy JB talked about above? Divergent is the first book. I LOVED it and the second book - I am sad that I have to wait a year to read the third book.

          Districts One, Two, and Four are the Career Districts. Three is not. (Although, the movie does not include Four.)

          Annie went mad after seeing her district partner get decapitated, so that's why she ran and hid...but still, it's The Hunger Games, and, she was (presumably) a Career Tribute.

          No, I haven't yet read that one. I'll have to check it out.

            Now that you mention it, it is odd. Hmmmmmm

                I just put the first book on hold at the library, and I'm 25th in line! Grrrrrrrrr!

                  Maybe we should start a BKForum Book Club! It goes without saying that the NoLo Guidebook(s) would be on the best sellers list.

                    That's why I ended up buying the Hunger Games trilogy, so I could read the third book w/o having to wait on it.

                      I'm for that. At least here, we can discuss a young adult novel without having to worry about a bunch of teenagers invading, and saying things like, "Blah, blah, blah...The guy who plays Gale is hot."

                      Actually, I'm now bumped up to 15th, so everybody before me seems to be reading it pretty quickly.

                        It is SO good, lotsa! You will LOVE it. If you hate it, I will buy you the 2nd book and snail mail it to you because it is even better than the first. How about that for a guarantee?

                        OT: Dh just got off from work and he is idling in a parking lot waiting until B&N opens because my charging cord died. Now I know he loves me!! <3

                          The shaking camera was a technique used to hide the gore, to keep the movie PG-13. We wouldn't want to keep a gaggle of screaming, hormonal teenagers from seeing it, would we? (LOL! Sorry, I had a bad experience at the midnight showing of New Moon a few years ago.)

                            Okay, going back to the subject of names, I found an article that might explain why SC chose some of the names she did. It's just the opinion of one person, mind you, but I found it interesting.

                            Still no insight as to how on earth she came up with Haymitch, though, which is what I was looking for in the first place.

                              I am resurrecting this old thread to see if anyone besides 'Hub and I have seen the final Mockingjay 2 movie? If so what were your thoughts? I don't want to say anything more because I might reveal 'spoilers'.

                                I enjoyed the entire series and also read the books before the movies were in production (or maybe even before the screenplay was written). However, I do have some issues with the final film -- probably because I read the books.
