I am less than 70 pages from finishing Catching Fire. I am finding myself skipping homework assignments so that I can squeeze in a couple of chapters before I have to go to bed. This series has grabbed my interest in reading that I lost many years ago. I want to focus on Katniss and what I picture her as. I see a her as having dirty blonde hair with green eyes. She is athletic looking and is about 5 feet 7 inches. I envision Peeta the same as the book describes him: tall, bleach blonde, blue eyes. He reminds me of a knight who always looks gorgeous. Peeta would be any hero ready to sweep any girl off her feet. Gale always came off as a scruffy guy who was darker than the "knight" Peeta. I pictured Gale with dark brown hair, calloused, darker skin, and not as eye-catching, yet still cute. For Gale's eyes, I think of Edward's piercing eyes in Twilight, the auburn/yellow color that held the warmth of the sun.
if i were to choose actors of today to cast as these characters i would pick:
Katniss Mary Kate Olsen
Peeta Lucas Till
Gale Shia Lebouf

Interesting choices! I think I'd agree with you, though. I pictured both Peeta and Gale exactly the same way, so the author did a pretty good job describing them! I probably wouldn't have picked Mary Kate, but I think if you "scruffed" her up a bit, she'd be perfect. Can't wait to talk to you about the book! Now on to the finale!
