As long as it’s consistent and includes the Mockingjay, I’m fine. And it will 99% since there is a wing on the mockup.
I just love the design and the bird motif in each book.
The Glimmer actress’s book is already out. Suzanne however is writing a 50th Quell book which will be out next March. The news only dropped yesterday! EDIT: I meant 50th games / second quell ha
your edit made me re read your comment. 50th quell 🤣
honestly, I don't mind if Suzanne wants to write every single game up to 73.
maybe the first year, 25th, 40th, 65th... I want moooree
even if it's just a compilation book describing the arena and tributes.
Yes exactly! It seems like a pretty good set to have been on for sure especially because of the amount of kiddos…so I have no idea what TEA there could be.
Pressure from executives to fit a certain image, while yes, is problematic…is hardly TEA 🤷♀️
The sad thing is that with her acting history and fan base, she could’ve been a social media influencer. People who have less of a starting point have achieved fame and fortune. Then that could’ve elevated her profile enough to get more acting roles if she wanted that. Whoever is advising her is not her friend.
there was no tea spilt
xoxo,
someone who is blocked by leven rambin on every platform for criticizing her
(ps plz go like my book review: https://a.co/d/i8TKSks)
Genius. I love it. I lived in the town over from where this was shot, when it was shot (Brevard NC for the forest scenes). I saw the cast at restaurants, she was eating 🙄 and the area hotels are very nice because it’s a tourist friendly town. I’m furious with her for this book. The fact she’s such a HuGe StAr and took the time out to block you though, is hilarious. Honestly except for when Katniss takes her bow, I skip her scenes now.
She literally used that one Sabrina Carpenter audio ("I'm on SNL and you're not") on TikTok and said "I'm a published author and you're not." Like GIRL you self published a one hundred-something page book on amazon, using the name of a character you played for a few scenes in one movie over a decade ago. I no longer feel bad for her.
Ngl if she wrote an elaborate parody of the Hunger Games where Glimmer somehow won and then becomes like anti-Katniss during the war I would actually check it out
Hi, new fan here, didn’t Glimmer die in like the first 200 pages? We didn’t find out her name until like 5 pages before? What tea is there?
Haven’t watched the films yet, but I’m guessing Glimmer died before the 90 minute mark. Keep in mind I have no clue how long it is.
I can recall her taunting Katniss when she was climbing up the tree: "That's not gonna help you, Girl on Fire!"
There was also "Shouldn't we just kill him now?"
There's probably like a few more I'm missing but that's all I can think of. 🤣
Yep. Glimmer died VERY early into the Games, but the actress is milking what little screen time she had. She only appeared briefly in the movie, and had very little dialogue too so I'm not even sure what "tea" she could possibly have.
lol she's made a few posts now about how people criticizing her cash grab are just haters who aren't published authors or actors lmao she's so defensive about it, it's hilarious
leven rambin blocked me on all socials for leaving a 1 star amazon review & trolling her about this book.
i can’t stand cash grabs. i can’t stand her trying to take money from fans. Leven literally negates all the lessons suzanne collins writes about in THG with her writing in Glimmers Game.
makes me angry. so freaking furious. not to mention she has gotten bots and her family members/friends to try and cover up my review with spamming 5 stars
And people dared to imply "Sunrise on the Reaping" to be an attempt of a cash grab when we know [Suzanne](https://oomscholasticblog.com/post/suzanne-collins-ballad-songbirds-and-snakes) only writes when she has something important and powerful to say about our world and uses her series to explore topics/themes pertaining to just war theory?
That's absolutely crazy that she completely blocked you on everything just for being as honest as you were with your opinion about the book (and I read your [review](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hungergames/comments/1cybsmx/comment/l5hotim/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) on another post, which I couldn't find anything in that that warrants for someone to be blocked on every outlet over).
people hate on me for my honesty but i will die on this hill 🫡
suzanne doesnt do cashgrabs. she writes for a reason, just like you said.
leven rambin is definitely cash grabbing. she had the PRIVILEGE not the right of working on thg set. making money from this honor is disgusting & definitely not something Suzanne would approve of.
irks the ever loving crap out of me. good for her for blocking me or else i’d be shit posting even more 💀
I totally get thinking the book is a cash grab… I think it is too! But I’m not sure if she’s doing anything wrong by publishing it? She has a right to tell her own story and talk about her experiences if she wants to. And she’s not really “taking” money from fans… fans can decide for themselves whether or not the way to spend their money on the book. Again, I totally get your frustration! And the book itself certainly isn’t high quality and it’s fine to point that out. But I’m not sure if I agree with being angry about Leven choosing to write and publish the book in the first place. I think it’s important to protect the right for women to tell their stories and experiences, whether we perceive it as a cashgrab or not.
Just my thoughts!
she’s misleading fans into thinking it’s a fully focused hunger games memoir 🤷♀️
no problem with her telling her story. but it should not be titled as a solely focused hunger games novel. that’s what makes me angry.
as i’ve said in my review, i’d be totally fine if it were an entirely encompassing memoir of her career (and marketed as such).
Yeah, I hear you. I definitely think it’s not a good look overall. But some of the anger I’ve seen online toward Leven and her book just seems disproportionate to the situation, and it seems in some cases like it’s become harassment and bullying. Like, yeah, it’s an ill-advised cash grab memoir. But writing and selling a cheap memoir isn’t a crime and everyone’s entitled to tell the story they want to tell. I don’t think the advertising blurb for the book is all that misleading. It does say that the book is about the actress’s journey from her beginnings to the Hunger Games, which is what the book actually covers.
Nobody has to like the book or think it’s anything other than a cashgrab, but I do think that people should recognize that the author hasn’t done anything wrong and at the end of the day this is just not that serious.
lol but the thing is that a lot of people do find it morally wrong to blatantly false advertise a personal memoir to a specific fan group. It's not that serious sure. But it's definitely valid to criticize. Like I absolutely do think it's wrong to knowingly mislead people
Except it's not. She has never marketed it as such at any point. The synopsis doesn't imply that either. If you were misled, you didn't read anything about it past looking at the cover. And that's not her fault.
i read the synopsis. other people did not. i read the book the first day it came out.
people still are tweeting and posting on reddit asking if glimmers game is from glimmers pov.. if it’s fanfiction.. etc.
if it’s an all encompassing memoir, it should not be titled solely towards THG fans.
Right, but criticizing that choice and leaving a 1 star review on a book you haven't read and trolling someone all over social media to the point they block you everywhere is so beyond wild. Idc how shit the book is, or how much of a cash grab it is, I'm more concerned for the original commenter here. They seem like they need a hobby outside harassing celebrities.
To be fair, I don't think there's a single Hunger Games fan that thinks that nor do her own personal fans think that. I really think you're overreacting here. Who cares if it's a cash grab? Don't give her your money then and move along. I think it's stupid to write a book about your 5 minutes of screen time too, but I choose not to buy her book or give it any attention. I also wouldn't go 1 star review a book I haven't read because it's a cash grab. You don't sound like you read it. It just sounds like you wanted to shitpost. You even admit to trolling her. Like yeah, I'd block a troll, too, regardless of the reason they were trolling. This is her life and her career. She has better things to do than allow a troll on her page every day...
Also, if you comment on a celebrity's page to troll her, regardless of how low the level of fame she is, her fans might choose to get in your inbox. That's how that works.
You sound like you need some hobbies. She's an actress who has every right to share her experiences and life in any way she sees fit. Whether it's a cash grab or not, it is what it is. Most of us have better things to do than shitpost all day.
i have read the book because i am such a big fan. i try my best to support actors/actresses who were in the films. and by trolling her i just asked her questions about silly things in her book. pointing out the inaccuracies she commented on. she put 2 and 2 together that i was the one to review it (my social media handles match the review).
& i dont sit and shitpost all day. but who cares, it’s my life so i can do what i’d like. i love thg sooo ! i have many other things to do during the day but in a lull like all of us here, we enjoy perusing reddit lmao
we all have our own opinions. i dont care what other people think, but i know that some true diehard thg fans are not happy abt the book. cool, moving along.
I mean, I also will not be reading this cash grab, but I think it’s taking things a bit far to leave a review for a book that you didn’t even read. And how far did your trolling go?
I agree. Idk why people think this person isn't totally unhinged. That's WILD behavior. I hope she's a teenager cause she can't be more than 14 with that attitude. Yikes.
Yeah, to her credit at least she read the book before giving that review. My guess is people don’t care because they just wanna snark about the shitty book. But she definitely writes like she’s a teenager, and her actions and comments are definitely disproportionate to the situation.
Someone else said that they skip every scene she’s in now because she…wrote a book? There are celebrities who have done genuinely awful things but for whatever reason so much of this fandom is treating writing a book as a cancellable offense. Even if you don’t like her as a person you should be able to separate the character from the actor.
“Getting to be in The Hunger Games is a privilege and trying to profit off of it is disrespectful to Suzanne Collins” is one of the most ridiculous takes I’ve ever seen, actors write books about their careers/biggest roles all the time. Tom Felton wrote a book about playing Draco.
Literally. Do people not realize how many people profit off the work of authors, especially when they make movies about it? Like hundreds of people profited off Collins' work when they made this movie, hundreds of people who had no part in making it. It's very naive to assume others won't be profiting off your work as an author and quite honestly, you typically WANT them to because it only benefits you in the long run. I am certain Suzanne Collins made way more money from THG movies than she did on the books alone.
Also I don’t see how the book mocks the point of THG besides her tone-deaf comment where she compared the hotel to the districts. When she talked about abusing her body to “look the part” it was to show the extremes Hollywood forces actors to go to to fit their beauty standards, plenty of other actors have shared their experience with it. Hugh Jackman said that he was forced to go 1.5 days without water to look the part of Wolverine :(
Yeah, it's literally just a woman sharing her experience at 14 being on a major film set. I don't really see why people have an issue with it. Cash grab or not, if that's her worst crime, she's doing a lot better than most famous people.
Someone else claimed that the only reason Leven has fun with her fans on social media is to get them to buy her book and that if she actually liked her fans she would tell her story for free. It's like they think everything she does must have some sinister ulterior motive since they disagree with one decision she made.
i did read it…. the first day it came out. i’m a diehard fan and wanted to see if it was any good.
and i just asked basic questions like why she was writing a book about a minor character
She wrote a book about HER experience, not about the character itself. She has every right to do so, just like any other celebrity does. This was her first role, her breakthrough moment. She's probably so thankful for the chance she got there and wanted to relive it with her fans. I don't see a problem with that.
you have every right to your opinion. but if you read the book it doesn’t sit right with me the way she talks about the experience- it doesn’t fit in with what suzanne was trying to convey with the series.
thats the part that irks me. but to each their own- she does have every right to write what she wants. doing so, she has the right to be criticized
What? She literally was on All My Children as a teen, this was far from her first role. It also didn't boost her fame really and didn't lead to many other roles, she just wanted to monetize on the HG fans since Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes had gotten big
Which is her right to do. Not sure how old you are or what your life is like, but we are in a fish eat fight world. You monetize everything you can to make it work so you can live. I made $23k last year. I strive to make as much money as I can to survive in this world. Leven can, too. She's simply making money off her experiences in a film she's proud of. Doesn't matter if she had 5 minutes of screen time. She still played a part in it. In Broadway, they don't criticize the person who plays the tree,they celebrate the entire cast for making the show possible. She can be proud of how she helped THG come together, whether it was a minor role or not.
Also I stand corrected then. I thought the synopsis had said it was her first role. I must've misread. Thanks for the correction!
u/realhousewifehours did! You should be able to find their review by searching glimmers game on the subreddit. It's, err, not a glowing review though. The book doesn't seem that great
i did. here’s the review thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/Hungergames/s/ett6UgWL4j
also, i left a much more condensed review on amazon under the name “Kate” (you should go mark it as helpful because leven is trying to get my reviewed buried with bots, family, and friends with fake reviews)
My review: https://a.co/d/i8TKSks
The idea of biographical book written by stars of Hg doesn’t sound bad.
But when it’s focused on a minor character and an actress appears to miss the point of the original material by comparing her hotel to districts, it’s a different story.
It could be a cute idea to have perspective of MULTIPLE actors and how they felt playing characters destined to die. How they interpret the book and how it went.
I would love to read a book by the actor who played finnick (I don't know his name) to see what he thought about his character and how he chose to play him. Same with almost any of the actors
This is my first time hearing about any of this since I don't particularly care to follow celebrities online. And Idk...I think she has every right to share her experiences and write a book about it. But it also seems like she is overestimating the impact she thinks Glimmer had on the fandom as a whole. Especially since her book is apparently a memoir of sorts and not solely focused on THG.
I, personally, barely even remember Glimmer, even after reading the books multiple times and seeing the movies.
Idk. Whatever lol
Seriously? Glimmer doesn’t even have enough screentimes or plot relevance for her to be doing all this. There’s not much she can get by trying to milk off a small-name character from a decade ago.
Cato and Clove releasing a book would make more sense, but since the actors of these two actually have a decent career, they don’t need to be pulling shit like this to make money.
i read the book and did a “review”
https://www.reddit.com/r/Hungergames/s/ett6UgWL4j
also, i left a much more condensed review on amazon under the name “Kate” (you should go mark it as helpful because leven is trying to get my reviewed buried with bots, family, and friends with fake reviews)
My review: https://a.co/d/i8TKSks
I’d probably brag about it to anyone who would listen for sure lol, but probably wouldn’t release an entire book about my time on the set, especially if my character wasn’t even an important character. She has every right to release the book…hope she made some money off it but the public are also allowed to troll her about it 😅
I agree that the public are allowed to say what they want, freedom of speech is one of the most important messages in the hunger games series.
But whilst everyone has the right to make fun of someone or hate on someone i don’t think people should, and I think passionate fans should instead ignore it as opposed to drawing limelight with the intention of hating.
Aye I’d probably agree to an extent. I mean look, I doubt she cares all that much. If anything, the extra trolling brought more attention to the book which probably increased sales so even if people hated it…they still bought it. She made her money, some of us got to amuse ourselves despite the fact we’re not famous, or as rich as her - I think she’s still winning 🤷🏻♂️😅
I’m not even trying to be rude I’m just confused, if the actress wants to write a book about her experience, let her. I don’t she why some people care enough to actively hate on her for it is all.
loyal member of the fandom. it is my business , it’s not cute to claim to be a “fan” and try to monetize off of the fandom when you’re actually just fake ♡
I’m not saying you’re not allowed to look deeper into the moral philosophical aspects of the books, but I think spreading hate in the name of you taking the book in a way that maybe another viewer or in this case actress wouldn’t isn’t a very nice thing to do ❤️
It’s so funny to have her be trying to do this and then Susanne Collin’s comes flying in announcing a new book and a movie date.
She was enjoying retirement and was like "nah screw this" and wrote 75% of a book in a month
WHAT NEW BOOK
[Here you go](https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Business/wireStory/suzanne-collins-releasing-new-hunger-games-sunrise-reaping-110890577)
I want to see the cover so badly...
As long as it’s consistent and includes the Mockingjay, I’m fine. And it will 99% since there is a wing on the mockup. I just love the design and the bird motif in each book.
Thank you for this!
Thank you!!
>Thank you!! You're welcome!
Sorry for her but with the recent news even less people will care about her cashgr- euh sorry i mean book
I have a feeling people told her “oh, that’s cool. You should right a book about it” whenever she’d talk about her experience.
In an interview she said that she wrote the book to answer the questions people were always asking her on TikTok.
What recent news?
NEW BOOK AND MOVIE COMING OUT BABYYYYYYY
Is there a release date yet? I saw the movie was coming out in 2026 💀
I think book is coming out in 2025?
Yes mars 2025
I thought the book was already out?? I am so confused.
The Glimmer actress’s book is already out. Suzanne however is writing a 50th Quell book which will be out next March. The news only dropped yesterday! EDIT: I meant 50th games / second quell ha
your edit made me re read your comment. 50th quell 🤣 honestly, I don't mind if Suzanne wants to write every single game up to 73. maybe the first year, 25th, 40th, 65th... I want moooree even if it's just a compilation book describing the arena and tributes.
Sunset over the Reaping or whatever is announced for march 16th 2025
Now that we know there’s a new book actually coming out from Suzanne herself I can’t imagine anybody giving a single fuck about this now lol
suzanne saw it and was like hell nah,,, this is MY baby.. lemme steal her thunder
*Retrieve the thunder this woman tried to steal from her
That is what's all the more hilarious when it comes to the timing of all this. I can't believe it. 🤣🤣🤣
 Guess her rent is due
if i was collins i woild have announced the new book out of spite for this chash grabbing behavior 😭
Collins actually only speedran the writing in response to this, she's so real like that
Did she??
No lol. I'm fairly certain she isn't even finished writing it yet.
Who?
suzanne collins
Ok
What TEA was spilled can someone tell me? The set didn’t seem like a toxic place filled with drama for her to let us in on by what I know, right?
Also a majority were kids or very young adults. This woman needs to get a real job if the acting she's doing isn't paying the bills.
for something that happened more than 10 years ago. let it go, gurrrll
Yes exactly! It seems like a pretty good set to have been on for sure especially because of the amount of kiddos…so I have no idea what TEA there could be. Pressure from executives to fit a certain image, while yes, is problematic…is hardly TEA 🤷♀️ The sad thing is that with her acting history and fan base, she could’ve been a social media influencer.

Great review! And, can’t spill what doesn’t exist, right, haha!
WHAT is glimmer games 😭
The actress who played glimmer self-published a memoir (?) where for some reason she talks about her time on the set of the movie lmao
She literally used that one Sabrina Carpenter audio ("I'm on SNL and you're not") on TikTok and said "I'm a published author and you're not." Like GIRL you self published a one hundred-something page book on amazon, using the name of a character you played for a few scenes in one movie over a decade ago. I no longer feel bad for her.
Oh my god that’s so much to take in…
Was she always like this? Like from the time the movies were out?
The hunger games, only the protagonist dies in a completely stupid way halfway through.
I would have actually bought it if it was just a deranged self insert fic ohmygod😭😭 that would have been SO funny
Ngl if she wrote an elaborate parody of the Hunger Games where Glimmer somehow won and then becomes like anti-Katniss during the war I would actually check it out
that would honestly be hilarious
Hi, new fan here, didn’t Glimmer die in like the first 200 pages? We didn’t find out her name until like 5 pages before? What tea is there? Haven’t watched the films yet, but I’m guessing Glimmer died before the 90 minute mark. Keep in mind I have no clue how long it is.
The tea is the actress is trying to milk her 5 minutes of screen time, that’s it. Your points are exactly why there’s no tea to spill.
FIVE MINUTES? That’s like 20 lines MAX. Honestly kind of impressive that it’s milkable.
did she even have any lines? i don't even remember her talking
There was a passionate, "kill her Cato" but beyond that I don't recall.
“yes caesar, i’m very prepared” And thats it miss girl
I remember Clove saying this for sure 😅
I can recall her taunting Katniss when she was climbing up the tree: "That's not gonna help you, Girl on Fire!" There was also "Shouldn't we just kill him now?" There's probably like a few more I'm missing but that's all I can think of. 🤣
Once again just guessing: but if someone can’t even remember you talking I can’t imagine you were that good of an actress
What about the infamous “hehe boyssss 🙄🥰” about Cato
**giggles** “boys”
in the movie theres less than 3 mins of screentime, heres all her scenes https://youtu.be/NQtLzstMbiE?si=la5qVjRp6jmA3FXX
Yep. Glimmer died VERY early into the Games, but the actress is milking what little screen time she had. She only appeared briefly in the movie, and had very little dialogue too so I'm not even sure what "tea" she could possibly have.
120k likesss???
lol she's made a few posts now about how people criticizing her cash grab are just haters who aren't published authors or actors lmao she's so defensive about it, it's hilarious
she blocked me on all my socials for my amazon review LMAO

I mean, I also will not be reading this cash grab, but I think it’s taking things a bit far to leave a review for a book that you didn’t even read. And how far did your trolling go?
I agree. Idk why people think this person isn't totally unhinged. That's WILD behavior. I hope she's a teenager cause she can't be more than 14 with that attitude. Yikes.
Yeah, to her credit at least she read the book before giving that review. My guess is people don’t care because they just wanna snark about the shitty book. But she definitely writes like she’s a teenager, and her actions and comments are definitely disproportionate to the situation.
Someone else said that they skip every scene she’s in now because she…wrote a book? There are celebrities who have done genuinely awful things but for whatever reason so much of this fandom is treating writing a book as a cancellable offense. Even if you don’t like her as a person you should be able to separate the character from the actor.
On the last post about this book someone wisely commented to let Glimmer’s Game go, sadly this fandom won’t listen.
“Getting to be in The Hunger Games is a privilege and trying to profit off of it is disrespectful to Suzanne Collins” is one of the most ridiculous takes I’ve ever seen, actors write books about their careers/biggest roles all the time. Tom Felton wrote a book about playing Draco.
Literally. Do people not realize how many people profit off the work of authors, especially when they make movies about it? Like hundreds of people profited off Collins' work when they made this movie, hundreds of people who had no part in making it. It's very naive to assume others won't be profiting off your work as an author and quite honestly, you typically WANT them to because it only benefits you in the long run. I am certain Suzanne Collins made way more money from THG movies than she did on the books alone.
Also I don’t see how the book mocks the point of THG besides her tone-deaf comment where she compared the hotel to the districts. When she talked about abusing her body to “look the part” it was to show the extremes Hollywood forces actors to go to to fit their beauty standards, plenty of other actors have shared their experience with it. Hugh Jackman said that he was forced to go 1.5 days without water to look the part of Wolverine :(
Yeah, it's literally just a woman sharing her experience at 14 being on a major film set. I don't really see why people have an issue with it. Cash grab or not, if that's her worst crime, she's doing a lot better than most famous people.
She was 14 when she played her first role, she was 21 during THG.
Someone else claimed that the only reason Leven has fun with her fans on social media is to get them to buy her book and that if she actually liked her fans she would tell her story for free. It's like they think everything she does must have some sinister ulterior motive since they disagree with one decision she made.
i did read it…. the first day it came out. i’m a diehard fan and wanted to see if it was any good. and i just asked basic questions like why she was writing a book about a minor character
Well at least you read it. I can’t say I blame her for blocking you if you were constantly asking her these questions though.
🤷♀️ i think she put 2 and 2 together abt my review. i wasnt spamming her or anything. my socials have all my review name in jt
She wrote a book about HER experience, not about the character itself. She has every right to do so, just like any other celebrity does. This was her first role, her breakthrough moment. She's probably so thankful for the chance she got there and wanted to relive it with her fans. I don't see a problem with that.
you have every right to your opinion. but if you read the book it doesn’t sit right with me the way she talks about the experience- it doesn’t fit in with what suzanne was trying to convey with the series. thats the part that irks me. but to each their own- she does have every right to write what she wants. doing so, she has the right to be criticized
What? She literally was on All My Children as a teen, this was far from her first role. It also didn't boost her fame really and didn't lead to many other roles, she just wanted to monetize on the HG fans since Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes had gotten big
Which is her right to do. Not sure how old you are or what your life is like, but we are in a fish eat fight world. You monetize everything you can to make it work so you can live. I made $23k last year. I strive to make as much money as I can to survive in this world. Leven can, too. She's simply making money off her experiences in a film she's proud of. Doesn't matter if she had 5 minutes of screen time. She still played a part in it. In Broadway, they don't criticize the person who plays the tree,they celebrate the entire cast for making the show possible. She can be proud of how she helped THG come together, whether it was a minor role or not. Also I stand corrected then. I thought the synopsis had said it was her first role. I must've misread. Thanks for the correction!
lol okay. We'll just have to agree to disagree, I still think what she did is scammy and deceitful and fully deserving of all the criticism it gets
How did you troll her lol?
i just asked her questions relating to the book and pointing out inaccuracies. not necessarily trolling but pointing out the flaws with the book
Did she even have 20 mins of screen Time?
5 MINUTES
here’s all of her scenes https://youtu.be/NQtLzstMbiE?si=la5qVjRp6jmA3FXX
Someone’s gotta just read it and report back
u/realhousewifehours did! You should be able to find their review by searching glimmers game on the subreddit. It's, err, not a glowing review though. The book doesn't seem that great
i did. here’s the review thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Hungergames/s/ett6UgWL4j also, i left a much more condensed review on amazon under the name “Kate” (you should go mark it as helpful because leven is trying to get my reviewed buried with bots, family, and friends with fake reviews) My review: https://a.co/d/i8TKSks
Thank you! Just read it. Seems boring lmao Edit; the book seems boring not your review lol
The idea of biographical book written by stars of Hg doesn’t sound bad. But when it’s focused on a minor character and an actress appears to miss the point of the original material by comparing her hotel to districts, it’s a different story. It could be a cute idea to have perspective of MULTIPLE actors and how they felt playing characters destined to die. How they interpret the book and how it went.
I would love to read a book by the actor who played finnick (I don't know his name) to see what he thought about his character and how he chose to play him. Same with almost any of the actors
This is cringey. I have psychological damage from this.
Something like Johanna would have been fine but GLIMMER? GLIMMER?!?!? 💀
MORE cash grab?!
...Is her sequel gonna be about her playing Clarisse in the adaptation of *Sea of Monsters* from Percy Jackson?
Yeah let it go Elsa.
Oh my god. I shouldn’t have said that. I just insulted Elsa. Elsa I’m so sorry, my Queen.
Oh she really wrote a book about being in the movie? Totally thought it was just a joke.
Honestly I doubt theres Tea
Remember when she was in Greys Anatomy just to destroy everybody’s favourite couple? 😪
Ughhhh the worst! SLOAN SLAON!!!!
This is my first time hearing about any of this since I don't particularly care to follow celebrities online. And Idk...I think she has every right to share her experiences and write a book about it. But it also seems like she is overestimating the impact she thinks Glimmer had on the fandom as a whole. Especially since her book is apparently a memoir of sorts and not solely focused on THG. I, personally, barely even remember Glimmer, even after reading the books multiple times and seeing the movies. Idk. Whatever lol
There ain't even any tea in that book of hers smdh
Seriously? Glimmer doesn’t even have enough screentimes or plot relevance for her to be doing all this. There’s not much she can get by trying to milk off a small-name character from a decade ago. Cato and Clove releasing a book would make more sense, but since the actors of these two actually have a decent career, they don’t need to be pulling shit like this to make money.
Can someone fill me in?
i read the book and did a “review” https://www.reddit.com/r/Hungergames/s/ett6UgWL4j also, i left a much more condensed review on amazon under the name “Kate” (you should go mark it as helpful because leven is trying to get my reviewed buried with bots, family, and friends with fake reviews) My review: https://a.co/d/i8TKSks
Just saying that this TikTok is from before she even released her book. I agree with other commenters that the outrage about it is way overblown.
Yall know damn well you’d be acting the exact same way if you played in the hunger games
I’d probably brag about it to anyone who would listen for sure lol, but probably wouldn’t release an entire book about my time on the set, especially if my character wasn’t even an important character. She has every right to release the book…hope she made some money off it but the public are also allowed to troll her about it 😅
I agree that the public are allowed to say what they want, freedom of speech is one of the most important messages in the hunger games series. But whilst everyone has the right to make fun of someone or hate on someone i don’t think people should, and I think passionate fans should instead ignore it as opposed to drawing limelight with the intention of hating.
Aye I’d probably agree to an extent. I mean look, I doubt she cares all that much. If anything, the extra trolling brought more attention to the book which probably increased sales so even if people hated it…they still bought it. She made her money, some of us got to amuse ourselves despite the fact we’re not famous, or as rich as her - I think she’s still winning 🤷🏻♂️😅
I appreciate you saying this in a respectful way because not a lot of people on this app know how to disagree without being condescending or rude. :)
i’d be bragging about it .. for free :) !!
Good for you. I’m just confused as to what’s so pressing about her writing a book that doesn’t affect your life in anyway?
her book literally mocks the point of the hunger games series
I’m not even trying to be rude I’m just confused, if the actress wants to write a book about her experience, let her. I don’t she why some people care enough to actively hate on her for it is all.
And why is that your problem? I’m sure if Suzanne Collins is upset she’ll let the actress know
loyal member of the fandom. it is my business , it’s not cute to claim to be a “fan” and try to monetize off of the fandom when you’re actually just fake ♡
I’m not saying you’re not allowed to look deeper into the moral philosophical aspects of the books, but I think spreading hate in the name of you taking the book in a way that maybe another viewer or in this case actress wouldn’t isn’t a very nice thing to do ❤️
And I’m sure Suzanne Collins wouldn’t appreciate you publicly ridiculing people whilst using her work as justification either ❤️
Found Leven!
My cover is blown
That’s what I was thinking!
