5 Questions with Suzanne Collins: author of the Hunger Games trilogy

[@Khushayyy]

She's changed my life so much. Like I will never ever be the same again. Ever.

she taught me was it was to be a rebel.

[@sammiwyatt]

Suzanne Collins is my hero! She is a pure genius. Most books, like, err, Twilight, is like junk food writing. But The Hunger Games is a literary gold mine. Oh, I can't get enough of it! I hope in the future that I can be half the writer she is, if even!

[@kimfrankenwewe]

People genuily cant compliment something without putting something else down, cant they 💀

[@ahhorsecrazy]

I would DIE if she made more books! I love them SO much. I'm sucked into the story, so much that I cry when the charactors cry, smile when they do, and be crazily perplaxed when they are. I REALLY hope she does!

[@AllieOk]

Your wish was granted! I hope you enjoyed The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

[@kimfrankenwewe]

I recomend you her underland chronicles

[@aleygaming5379]

Did you read The Ballad of the songbirds and Snakes??

[@Movil_cargando]

Her fifth book is going to be out on 2025!

[@fandomsgirl1236]

God, please bless Suzanne Collins! Her writing has helped me become a better person. ❤

[@midnightarmonia]

"Beginning of a new story." My heart is *~leaping with joy~*

[@HEatheRO9]

Dear Suzanne Collins... I..... ABSOLUTELY.... LOVE... YOU!!!!!! The Hunger Games is amazing!

[@Angeljazmin12]

She a friggin' genious! This was her idea, and only hers, and now, look what it came to be...She so friggin' amazing!

[@SuperLazybunny]

I am absolutely a worshiper of ms.suzanne Collins My class had started reading the hunger games about two to three weeks ago they are only on chapter 11 I took a copy home with me and had finished the book from chapter 1 to 27 in a mere day and a half and that was with many distractions. I am only the mere age of 13 yet she has once again ignited the flame of writing in me! As soon as I finished the hunger games I had bought the other two (catching fire and. Mockingjay) and just finished mocki

[@applelover96]

I love how she's wearing the MockingJay necklace

[@thespace110]

ya i want a book about her and her kids and how she visits her mom and gale thatd be so awesome i loved all the rest

[@sofiaeprado]

you are amaZING!!!!!! i love all ur books i read mockingjay in 3 days no lie. IM OBSESSED!

[@NNNNNNNNNNNNNNl]

She should teach creative writing. I would pay to be in her class, no joke

[@daisy7945]

i would loveee to have books based on peeta’s perspective!! :)

[@abadooful]

YOU NEED TO WRITE A 4TH BOOK!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!!!

[@Eresal56]

You definitely deserve a vacation Suzanne, after all you've done for us

[@sangeetaporuri5794]

Queen 👑

[@jessicadrafahl5501]

Does anybody know what the posters say in the background? I REALLY want to know

[@Weroniva]

I love you Suzanne Collins !! You changed my life! :P

[@fastpitch651]

I totally think Suzanne Collins should write a fourth book that's sort of about her life after the revolution. Her marriage with Peeta, her childrens lives, if she ever sees Gale again...

[@pinheadlarry882]

She should write a book about each hunger games each year until the 75th hunger games

[@shayshayscanlon7825]

is it true suzanne collins is writeing a 4th hunger games book called dying out

[@napautotkaba]

oh ms. suzanne, you changed my life in just days.

[@magicaly100]

ikr!! i think i would be so interested in reading how he used the forcefield thing to kill i wonder what was going through his mind!

[@ruialvell90120]

I thinks the way she did it was perfect!! And i think that even with just 3 books it beat harry potter by far at least with quality..

[@hysloppy]

i love you suzanne collins for writing the hunger games series

[@TheSlowHeavy]

PLEASE IM BEGGING U MAKE ANOTHER!! after your vacation of coarse...

[@melloyello12em]

can you give me the violin notes to Rue's 4-note call please??? i need it for a schoool thing!! Thanks

[@Djulia150]

I would absolutely love another book, but, it would be weird because she wrote the epilogue in the end of mocking jay and thank you's for the entire trilogy.

[@mistresskatrine]

If anything, Koushun Takami (author of Battle Royale) should be weeping tears of joy and THANKING Suzanne Collins for writing the Hunger Games. Pre-HG, how many people even knew about Battle Royale? How many people know about it now, and will be checking it out as a direct consequence of the HG craze? I don't believe she stole it from him--these ideas about dystopian societies are as old as the hills--& thanks to Suzanne C, BR (novel & the film) are about to get a helluva lot more exposure.

[@Thejellybraclets]

Omg plz plz plz plz I am begging u make it from peetas point of view plz I love peeta plz do it

[@charlese60125]

she was about to say what happened at the end of Catching Fire, but I haven't finished it yet... so I paused it... Like A Boss :D

[@xLOTTEEEEH]

Make a book about the second quarter quell!

[@ispeedon]

I didn't agree with who Suzanne chose to kill in the ending either. I came to LOVE Finnick especially after he and Annie just reunited. So sad :( and Prim I always loved Prim. Anyway, I thought when Katniss said "there are worse games to play" she was referring to the actual Hunger Games. Since Katniss had to play in the games twice, it has impacted her life greatly. So, she's experienced more worse games by competing in the Hunger Games and Quarter Quell. I hope this helped! :)

[@rogue3xmen13]

I want that necklace. Anyone know where I can buy it?

[@MissJuliaCaesar]

Gadge really only has two scenes in the books where anything could happen. But from the way Katniss portrays it in her mind, she only worried extremely briefly that they'd grown closer while she was in the Games after Madge brings medicine for Gale in CF. Other than that, there's no mention it.

[@gabusia24]

i want 4th book !

[@biancamatthews6844]

Surprise! We’re getting a 4th book! It’s called The Hunger Games Prequel: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

[@bubblegumgurl21]

Omg i love these books and the movie should be epic!

[@SakuraySaya]

I think you are a really great person!!!

[@jupitermaximus11]

i love ur books please can u make just 1 more HUNGER GAMES PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[@krisbell2440]

I'm looking forward to reading The Hunger Games, but I'd like to watch the movie first. I hope it's as good as everyone says it is :D

[@sabrina_attar]

@cherrycat11 what's a peeta necklace? explain please :)

[@minativid]

@zackclarke96 yeah. but its still in the works. its probably gonna come out in 2011-2012

[@luisfer971]

PLEASE MAKE MORE BOOKS!!!!! 3 ISN'T ENOUGH FOR THIS EPIC SERIES

[@locoamericanito]

Honestly i don't think she should write another book. I finished reading Mockingjay and felt sort of weird, the book wasn't a happy ending it was actually sort of sad but not disappointing. But I liked the way it finished it has kept me thinking about it for the last three days. In other words it finished memorably, even if sad.

[@chatterboxgirl14]

I think she should make a mini book, describing where all the main characters are. The book kinda ended abruptly.

[@wassha09]

It would be nice for her to write about the actual creation of panem. I think that would be a very interesting book and how the USA ended maybe.

[@Ghostgirlslovestorie]

Look on the good side, Peeta got brought back, but will never be the same (which is downer) and Katniss had a Toddler (boy) and a child (girl) but sadly they don't know about all the people Katniss and Peeta loved, because they either left (katniss mom couldn't handle all the memories from area 12) or got killed or murdered. But i love how it explains why Katniss chose Peeta and not Gale.

[@Hermes9152]

Did you read the epilogue

[@jesuslover0411]

Please please please make a fourth book question:will you please make a fourth book because I was in love with your series I didn't want to end it I had a goodbye ceremony for the book and now I'm rereading it and I'm seeing the premiere so that day I'm missing school for this please make a fourth

[@JasmineHopkinsxo]

i want more books!! 3 just wasnt enough!!

[@TheJezz123]

I LOVE HER NECKLACE

[@arthinugami]

Please if there is a 4th Book please make it a prequel about the 1st Quarter Quell so it won't upset present fans, and be more accessible to newer ones, also it could focus on the life of a career as they must have lots of struggles themselves, being trained to fight from birth and all.

[@mary12496]

I Love suzanne collins! she is so awesome!

[@scarycat101]

thumbs up for the best author in the world

[@cutemachine1]

samantha i totally agree with you! And at the end of mockingjay gale leaves anyway!

[@arthinugami]

Also the 4th book being focused on the 1st Quarter Quell, could focus on social outcasts, or problems children, this being because they are chosen from there district, I see lots of potential with it, as it can deal with lots of social issues like child abuse, being alone or unliked etc.

[@Awesome112358]

Man she's soo awesome!! It's such a bummer prim finnick cinna and rue die and gale leaves!! They were my fav characters!! Hope the movie does them good!

[@livbiv2628]

there isnt going to be a 4th book... its called a trilogy... and if you read them the third book had an epilogue!

[@MusicQ]

me to but i mean who wants this amazing series to end?!

[@WalkingsHard]

Lol I didn't know hunger games was out there tell my friend was talking about it and then 2 days after I went to see the movie and then read the books. Now I'm a BIG fan of it!!!!!!

[@charnancy1]

best writer ever

[@GlitterGift]

I love you so much for writing the hunger games

[@HarryEverdeen98]

If i could ask her a question, i would ask why did she skrew up the last book

[@g0llyMISSm0lly]

Anyone else think she should write another book that's The Hunger Games but in either Peeta or Haymitch's perspective?

[@heywuzupdudes]

@ipscitcus HAH always read the comments FIRST! Btw Suzanne Collins is the writer of the books do dont u snap at her like that!

[@toriandtilly]

@bubblez122890 He/She didn't say who his/her favorite characters are! Could be talking about Buttercup for all you know! Please tell me you didn't think that everybody goes through the rest of the books unharmed (not saying anything)...Plus, if you only finished reading the Hunger Games then you haven't been introduced to half of the characters!

[@dey0218]

Did u not hear her? She said trilogy. Meaning 3 books.

[@MobilePhoneThatsMe]

MRS.COLLINS PLEASE READ READ PLEASE MAKE MORE BOOKS FINISHED THE STORIES ITS SO HARD TO LIVE WITHOUT IT ON THE FINAL PAGE OF THE FINALE(HOPE FULLY NOT THE FINALE BOOK) I WAS SUPER SAD NOT BECAUSE OF YOU NOW PRIM BUT BECAUSE IT WAS OVER CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT

[@misslizzie1204]

Can we get the spoilers out of the top comments? I clicked on this and one of the comments completely spoiled a major character death.

[@bubblez122890]

@TheRollingJiggies Haha Im still reading them there is no chance in earth that im missing out on this!

[@gforce97]

we read this book in 8th grade class Fall 2010. didnt think it was gonna become a movie a year and a half later😂

[@puppyluv594]

She already has!

[@ebrettner]

@Snowleopard524 It was the whole point of the books. No matter what she did or tried to do Prim dying was inevitable

[@Popstar01100]

*Spoiler Alert* I think if she writes another book it should be about Katniss's family and they way they live in District 12 and how she vists her mom and Gale. I LOVE this series SOOO MUCH!!!!!!! -3

[@Emiliessen]

Who is Gale ?

[@XxDIZismexX]

I never liked hunger games but I do like they way she writes.

[@GunRecon]

"The country is in the midst of a revolution." Again.

[@katsmith3038]

Another Hunger Games book? :) Please

[@GeniusBarely]

I think she should write books about the past victors and thier Games like Mags, Haymitch, Finnick, Annie, And Cashmere and Gloss?

[@Starmadien2019]

Please write it in Peeta's point of view i love him

[@TheEightysmusiclover]

you said it! and in just one sentence

[@MsvideoDJ]

Can plz rite a 4th book about Katniss and her family like how she visits her mom and gale and tells her kids about Prim?!?!?

[@wwe4eternity1]

u r an amazing author!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thall7563]

Not saying this is a bad idea, because it's not bad, but it'd make for a very short book, and quite honestly, it'd be a MASSIVE challenge that would turn into more and more books. Which isn't really a bad thing but, I think that she'd just get tired with it aventually and so would the fans..

[@trishatorres8103]

I pictured Brit Robertson as katniss when i read the books. This was before i knew Jennifer Lawrence was going to play her.

[@Nadianlad]

best book in the world good job suzanne ur the best

[@ranatahzibranatahzib427]

Great mam

[@fizzybubble22]

She's so lovely :)

[@Memily23]

Her necklace!!! ♥

[@g0llyMISSm0lly]

@lovemsally haha I know I would want to see that too! She could make his point of view really funny. Like he's passed out the whole time.. gifts aren't planned like she thought he just sent them when he wasn't a drunk mess.

[@artemusxcx]

I'd like it if she wrote a Prequel

[@MythicalMastermin101]

XD She loooves messing with us. Catching Fire ends with a cliffhanger(HUGE CLIFFHANGER!!!) And the words END OF BOOK TWO Mockingjay ends in THE END You are an evil(INSANELY AWESOME THOUGH) Author. I was upset because my friend always forces me to read books where everyone dies/goes insane.....but I loved the Hunger Games anyway.

[@razzberrySk8ter2]

After reading the Hunger Games 1-2 years ago, it changed my life. This is absolutly my FAVORITE TRILOGY/BOOK/SERIES OF ALL TIME!!!! ♥♥♥ The Hunger Games > Twilight. thats all it isss.♥ KATNISS CAN KISS BELLA'S BUT ANYTIME. SHE MAY HAVE A VAMP AND WOLF ON HER SIDE BUT KATNISS IS A FRICKEN MONSTER WITH HER BOW AND ARROWWW!!♥♥♥♥ peeta♥my bread boy♥

[@evies23]

I did it the other way round. Because I didn't want to end up like I did with Harry Potter. I've watched the films and now I can't make myself read the books because I know what happens/what will happen. That spoils it for me.

[@SamanthaSparkles48]

@minativid Okay looking back on my thoughts before I read the book I do think I was crazy!! Considering what happened to Madge........... and almost every other character in the series

[@sammmmyk]

She's wearing the mockingjay pin necklace!!! :D

[@hinata297]

@Emiliessen Gale is Katniss's best friend in district 12

[@Spiryls]

Your necklace.... I NEED IT!

[@xabbeydawn]

No. The Hunger Games trilogy is finished and she should not write another book in the series. I think the first book was the best one. I liked the other ones but the story got so different

[@alexiavalentina3486]

xabbeydawn I think that the second book was the best and I really want her to continue the series. I have been thinking what would happen if a new game would start in the future. I would like to ask her a lot about the series but I can't. And I really think that is ok your opinion wich is verry different from mine.

[@MissJuliaCaesar]

Not necessarily true. It's closer to: Gale is envious of Madge's way of luxurious living while he's starving.
