Books into Movies ... anyone read The Hunger Games

[Roxyluvsme13]

One of my friends is totally obsessed with the Hunger Games, she made my roommate read them, and I'm borrowing the first book over Christmas break. I've seen the trailer, but was really confused. I'll give my opinion after reading the book!

Try to wipe the trailer from your mind, and enjoy the books! I think they assumed everyone seeing the trailer had already read the books and was familiar with the story, because it is pretty befuddling if you haven't!

I feel guilty... I'm a librarian, and I could NOT get into the books. I bought them myself for our middle school library last year, and tried to read the first one. Couldn't get into it. Tried again. Nope. Just not my cup of tea. Won't watch the movies either. I loved the Twilight series, but do not like the movies. Just me. I prefer books to the movies made out of them.

Hope those who read The Hunger Games and watch the movies do like them, I've heard a lot good about them, but, like I said, they are just not for me.

Has anyone read the series The Forest of Hands and Teeth?? Now that one I could get my teeth (ha!) into. Might be interested in a movie of that one, but not sure.

I'll have to see if the library has that one ...

I will probably read the books at some point. I thought the trailer looked great, and am not sure which character you were referring to, Karen, but I thought the girl that volunteers to be in the Hunger Games, I thought she looked about 16. I don't know about the whole starvation thing, as the trailer I saw looked to be before the games started, and showed the very start of the games. I'll look around and see if I see another trailer. The trailer made me want to see the movie, though, for sure.

I just saw a short trailer that just showed the girl in the woods . . . she definitely looks healthy in that, maybe it was the beginning of the games? Of course, I have NO idea if they were already unhealthy before the games haha. I'm really excited about the movie! I will ask for the books for Christmas.

I'm hoping to get a Kindle for Christmas, and Hunger Games will be my first book if I do! If I like it, then I will get the other 2 that follow.
