I'm in love with 'The Hunger Game' at first when i see the 'coming soon' trailer on xxi before i watch Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol on last January. Then i'm in love with Jennifer Lawrence, even i still dont read the book and dont know anything about the hunger game book. Then i update a twitter status on my twitter account, @ok3astra and my father's friend @rianariyudha tell me he have that book. I just say i may interested reading it but i dont really have a think that the book is really fun, i thought it could be boring book because most element of the story is fiction with a fighting action so it just can represent by watching the movie. After a month and weeks, finally he borrowed me the book, The Hunger Game and the second book, Catching Fire. After back to my dormitory i feel lazy to read it because mid term would held in two weeks but i read the first page and then really passionate to finish it until i sleep late at dawn :) I really love this book.
