The Hunger Games

[Tobus]

CDNSushi, don't feel badly - I'm apparently just as uninformed as you are on this trilogy. My only defence is that I usually only read books that are considered classics, tending to avoid modern literature.

I had seen the previews for the movie and thought it looked pretty interesting, but had no idea what it was really about (or that it was even based on a series of books) until I saw this thread. A little Googling has me convinced that it's worth reading.

My 14yo grandson is hot for the books, saw the movie premiere and said it wasn't as good as the books. Current issue of Rolling Stone Magazine #11154 has the star on the cover, an article on the star, and a review of the movie.
Haven't developed any interest in it myself.
