They did horrible on the movie, they should have made the movie rated R and had all the gore, and such that this book had, all that gore is why I loved this series, I mean? What 13 year old boy doesn't love blood and gore? Lol

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!
this is a book that u wont put down the kind of book that puts u on the eage of your seat i love the hunger games
OMG. This is one of the best books that I have ever read! It has a little bit of everything: adventure and much more!
Hunger games book is amazing. Haven't even seen the movie, so I don't know if it's any good. Kinda afraid though, cause the visuals might be a bit to gory for me, considering it was hard to even read about for me. Yuck
There is a fan made second quarter quell video on youtube, and it is sooooooooooooooo much better than the movie! The movie is good but it left out and added in so much.
I love the first book the most but i agree that it is WAY better than the movie!
I really want to read these books.
All i'm going to say is the book is way better than the movie well the first anyway
