GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou
PERFECT!
ReplyDeletedoes the book say they're black? i didn't know that. rue looks sweet enough:) i'm so excited!!! but i will cry when she dies, i will.
ReplyDeleteLF
Rue is perfect! What a sweet, angelic face, beautiful girl. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're perfect! I'm glad that casting stuck to the character descriptions on these and didn't whitewash them.
ReplyDeleteSO awesome - I can not wait!!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom a visual perspective I'd say they got it right this time! I hope she's a good actress, Rue is such an important element of this part of the story. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so interested to see who is cast as Haymitch and Cinna.
Paper Bird and Little Fairy, I think in the book it mentions she has darker skin(?)...but it's been a while since I read the first one, so don't quote me on that. I kinda imagined her character to be hispanic, but I love their choice for Rue, cause that girl looks so darling. It's really going to drive home how evil the capital is when she plays the part when Rue dies!
ReplyDeleteThat's the perfect Thresh!
LF-I didn't catch it at first either when I read it, but yes it does. I'll be bawling when she dies!
ReplyDeleteI think they both look great!
