I saw the movie last week, and I'm gonna see it again this Monday with my school. ;D

I've read the first two Hunger Games books, and half of Mockingjay. I thought the movie was really good. They stuck really close to the book, and I think the actors did a really good job accurately portraying their characters.

Did anyone else who saw the movie notice how shaky the camera was in a lot of parts? I mean, I can understand having it shaky in the beginning where they first step off the pedestal to convey that chaotic feeling, and when Katniss gets stung by the Tracker Jackers (since she's hallucinating), but when they're walking to hear who the tributes are? Really? That single part made it hard to follow what was happening.

Other than that, the movie was awesome. :)

I did notice that. There were times when it was annoying, but at the same time I was grateful for it. That's how they managed to keep the violence level down to the point where the movie stayed PG-13.

haha i'm entirely obsessed!
Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly and I don't know why
If our love's tragedy why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?
Why are you my clarity?

The Hunger Games is a young-adult, dystopian novel written by Suzanne Collins. It was originally published on September 14, 2008. The book is the first in The Hunger Games trilogy, followed by Catching Fire, then Mockingjay.

In the novel, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and 18 from each of the twelve districts, putting them against each other in a game of survival where they are forced to fight one another to the death. The victor then wins a new house for themselves and their families in their District, along with food, fame, and wealth.

this cobreedan is the hunger games

Sounds good. I doubt I'll ever get to read them though because I've heard people are obsessed so it might be hard to get my hands on a copy.
I won't be on this forum much anymore, but I'll pop in to say hi every now and then.

I tries to read it, but I didn't know what the heck was going on.

No kidding! There are over 200 people on the holds list at my library! Your best bet would probably be to find a friend who owns it and would be willing to let your borrow it.
