Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. 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
I think the acting will have to really show us what they're like, but I agree with the FYA girls--not how I picture Peeta and Gale at all! :(
ReplyDeleteI like Peeta, but I'm still not sure about Gale. I don't know...I guess we'll see!

ReplyDeleteI am on Team Gale... but this cover would make me lean toward Team Peeta... Gale is super hot in my mind... dirty, sweaty, muscle-y...this cover doesn't reflect that! : )
ReplyDeletei love who they picked for peeta, but being team gale, i think he is all wrong for the most part, but that's the best picture i've seen of him. i'm not getting my hopes up though.

Not really how I pictured them either....and they look so OLD! :/ I mean, I know they cast older actors but they're not that old in the books.
ReplyDeleteI started reading The Hunger Games after I found out who the actors were going to be, so I totally had these guys in my mind the whole time I was reading the series. Which worked out perfectly! What's his face is perfect as Peeta. To me he's Peeta already so that I can't even remember the actor's name! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to find others who are team Gale! My sister and some others I know who have read the book are team Peeta, and there's just no getting through to them. This isn't how I pictured either of them, really, so up front its a tad disappointing, but hopefully their acting will make up for it :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like there is a bit of role reversal here. Gale should be all beef-cakey while Peeta should be the one who is a bit smaller.
