 I'm really hoping when they make The Hunger Games into a film series, they do it justice!
ETA: Please keep spoilers in the spoiler tag! |

I got it yesterday through Amazon, I think it was a day ahead of it's actually release date. I still haven't finished catching fire, but almost.
I'm curious why the books are so popular among girls though. I almost didn't read them because I thought they would be like Twilight or something. The main character is a girl, but I think of it as a guy book. Maybe it's because a lot of guys just don't read. |

I usually don't read 1st person fiction, but the Hunger Games is just so good. I'm debating between buying the book or waiting for the audiobook to show up at work. |

I was curious because the wife was reading it. I usually don't read what she reads, becuse she reads Twilight and Harry Potter, but this one did look intriguing. |

I don't know what book could be better for an afcommer. Oppressive government, individuals surviving and fighting each other. |
