I’ve read all of the books, before I watched the movie, and I wasn’t sure about how the movie would translate from paper to screen, but a coworker at Dish told me to watch it and I did. Instead of just going out and buying it, I decided to rent it from Blockbuster @ Home and now that I have seen it, I plan on watching it a Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447286215197740168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593801517891533127.post-46102420670463302482012-08-20T20:19:55.145-04:002012-08-20T20:19:55.145-04:00Thanks all, for posting comments.

Here I try again.<br /><br />You say "How do you tell a story about such a sick and twisted blood sport which inexorably leads to everyone dying and not have it violent, grisly bloody and thus rated R". <br /><br />I think that's exactly the point.

The book actually did not dwell much on the characteristics of the other kids on the game. The book - like the film - focused much on the main characters.Theresahttp://www.laneandrussell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593801517891533127.post-44193604845082141812012-08-20T18:30:56.653-04:002012-08-20T18:30:56.653-04:00Normally I am 100% with you on these but I disagre...Normally I am 100% with you on these but I disagree, albeit slightly...I actually enjoyed Hunger Games. I thought the film could have contrasted the two sides (rich vs. extremely poor and beaten down) better but for what it is, I liked it.
