Good to hear, the trailer didn't really get me psyched for it.

I really enjoyed the book. Once I got started, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Luckily, it's an easy read and only took a few hours.

Having said that, I thought the first part of the book was better than the second half. The first part establishes the premise of the elites exploiting the lower classes for the purposes of entertainment and social control. In the second half, the competitors start "playing to the camera" in the hope of getting useful things parachuted down to them, which I thought cheapened the plot.

Despite that, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

Just got back from the midnight showing of Hunger Games.  Good movie, but falls way short of the book.
I'm going to see it soon, but in my experience, the movie NEVER lives up to the book.

Kids (and adults) need to read more... Sad

Lord of the Rings wasn't too bad.
