MOCKINGJAY chapter 1

Some of my reactions as I read chapter 1... I'll come back later to talk more seriously about things. Please feel free to read along with me and share your reactions and start some discussions, but please NOTHING that happens after Chapter 1. And only read this if you've finished Chapter 1!

Woohoo! Let's get going!
I was lucky enough to go to a party in May where Suzanne Collins read the first little bit of MOCKINGJAY... she ended with the whole... Peeta might be dead, they tell me he's dead, it's better if he's  dead... thing. Gaaaahhh! Insane!

Perfect way to start... give us the ashes, the dead... put us right into the high stakes we're looking at

Gale! Saving the day! I love that guy.

No! Peeta's dad! Couldn't the mom have just died, then in a couple years dad & Katniss' mom could settle down happily? No? (OK, I need to get used to the non-happies)... speaking of which, Madge had better be okay and we just don't know it yet...

Buttercup! Yay! I love that Katniss still can't stand him... even when she was the victor and had plenty of money, she couldn't stand him because he was useless. She'd still rather he was the goat. Such a perfect piece of who she is...

President Snow is officially the creepiest person in the history of ever. The blood breath wasn't enough? Now he has magic I know where you are roses? Creepazoided out.
