The Hunger Games

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

Yeah, that rarely, if ever, actually ends as well as you expect it to.

Okay, so Taps loaned me his copy of the first book. (Entitled The Hunger Games...but I didn't need to tell you that.) And MAN! It's like a million zillion times better than the movie!

This makes me happy. \:D/ I'm glad to see people who watched the movie pick up the book and like it even more!

Give us your thoughts when you finish, Steve.

Is book better than the movie or the movie better than the book? I watched the movie, but I have not read the book.

And I thought Steve was opposed to discussing or promoting fictional works.

No. I'm simply saying that if you're going to promote the fictional work, at least promote the right one.

So, I just saw this movie the other day. I knew the whole plot already, but it was still fantastic. \:D/

I finally got my hands on the 1st book, it was quite spell bounding. I read it in one night. It was not what I was expecting because it was way better than my expectations. I thought it would be a Twilight/Harry Potter type series because it is so popular but it wasn't . (well I don't know about Twilight because I don't really know what their about)

I have heard a lot about the Hunger Games and was wondering what you thought about the movie. (by the way I am not going to go scrolling through all 22 pages looking for those COMMENTS)
There is a ToO Conspiracy going on. Go to City Hall and read about it before it's deleted, and help discover the truth.

Pro tip: it would probably be a good idea to go through the 22 pages, because not many of us have the desire to repeat ourselves. ;)
