The Hunger Games

hunger-gamesI am ridiculously excited about this movie.

I came late to the books, having read them only last month (and having devoured them in less than a week) after seeing people become ridiculously excited about the movie.

I was blown away by the story.

Having read the books and been converted to an overnight fan, I can say that this is one of the few cinematic interpretations of a loved book that I am looking forward to, and much of the trailer looks hauntingly familiar.

If you haven’t read the book yet, I highly recommend it. If you have, I highly suggest watching the trailer and getting silly excited. This may be one that I’ll wind up midnighting just to see.

May the odds be ever in your favor. Smile

    I just read them a couple weeks ago, too. I had no idea they were making a movie, and now I’m really excited, too! It looks (from the trailer, anyway) like it’s going to be really true to the book. Thank you so much for posting this!

    I threw these books on my kindle app and found myself reading them every chance I got. Was a little disappointed with the way the story ended, but otherwise it was a great series!

    Yeah, the ending felt like the author raced to the end and rushed through the wrap up, and I still think the first was the best out of all of them.

    I loved Cinna’s character – for some reason, the guy in the movie didn’t match what was in my head, but otoh, his voice seemed so “Cinna”.
