The Hunger Games Challenge!

sky • 21 March 2012 at 8:47 PM

So, the movie is premiering tomorrow at midnight, I'll be honest and say that I have NOT read the books yet, and I just started reading them, it is 8:47 PM at the moment, I read pretty fast, the question is, do you guys think I can read all the books before the movie premiere?

Yes: 3
No: 2

Also, who will be going to see the movie? I might go to the premiere once I find who to go with considering two of my friends left to Florida, and my other friend might not be able to since she's staying the night at her dads. So, I might just go with my mom or sister.

@sky YOU CAN DO IT! XD

They're so good that you'd probably finish before the midnight show anyway, lol.

I'm going on Friday at 5:15! 😃😃😃

@Cotton - I sure hope so! I've heard from many of my friends and classmates about how great the book is, even teachers! Even outside my school library they have pictures of the the Hunger Games pinned up on the bulletin board. I've purchased these books a while back and decided now should be the time I read them.

@sky I'm going on Friday at 12:00!

Maybe.. If read continuously it takes like 5 hours.

@sky
YES😊 I'll read with you 😋 Considering I am reading them for the 2nd time and is already in half of the first book in an hour 😋 I bet you can too lol

Once you get into the Hunger Games, you will have no problem reading through the rest 😊

Nooooo i stayed up till 1:00 AM reading the first book and didnt finish and i read at a collage grade level!

sky • 21 March 2012 at 8:57 PM

@Sstwins - The books are around 300 pages, correct? I could probably finish two of them in two and a half hours, and finish the other in the next hour, so it should only take three hours at most.

@Orange - Haha, yay! I started reading it in my advisory class, haven't made it too far considering class ended while I was half way through the first chapter.

@Hay7199 - Oh jeez. Well, I'll try reading with no distractions, plus, I am an insomniac. Staying up late wouldn't do much harm for me until later in the afternoon tomorrow.

@sky I know It wouldn't take me that long, but I'm basing it off of how long it took someone else. I didn't time myself, but I think it was 45 minutes.

hay7199 • 21 March 2012 at 8:58 PM

Not to be a downer but i had no distractions AT ALL and i still didnt finsh

cotton • 21 March 2012 at 9:00 PM

@sky Yay, start reading! XD

sky • 21 March 2012 at 9:01 PM

Well, I'm off to read! Wish me luck(;

cynt5100 • 21 March 2012 at 9:02 PM

YES! I read them in an Hour 😸 (then again, I have been reading since I was 2)

takaedakumi • 21 March 2012 at 9:02 PM

@sky Not if you're on here chatting you won't get any reading done. xD

metaphor • 22 March 2012 at 10:55 PM

Go for it! I finished them all in less than three days. It's the kind of writing that doesn't waste a word, which makes for a quick read!

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to see it til I get back from my trip.☹️

No, sorry. 😋 The audio books are like ten hours each, so unless you can read for 30 hours in less than a day, then I don't this you can read them all. But you can just read the first book, because thats all they are playing. x3

pebblestar-nightclan • 22 March 2012 at 11:15 PM

Yup. You can do it. Honestly, you can't put them down once you've picked them up.

Same thing happened to me with Harry Potter forever ago.
