I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I went with several young adult s and it was clear that the people who enjoyed the movie the most were the ones who read the book. One of the young adults who joined us at the movies has read the series twice and will begin it again for a third time. One of the others is reading it now for a second time. Another did not read the b ooks prior to the movie and has requested a copy of the book and now wants to read it. In my library I have six copies of The Hunger Games , they are all out with a waiting list o f ten more. Several students gave up waiting for the book and went out and bought their own copies.

At the Movies: The Hunger Game s Thanks to everyone who joined in the discussion of novels in verse during the first part of April. It's time to move on to a new topic and hear your thoughts about the movie adaptation of the book, The Hun ger Games.
Although there will always be details to pick at, I w as very pleased with the HG movie. It held true to the primary th emes of the book, and I loved the visual contrast of District Twe lve with The Capitol (the residents reminded me of those of the Emerald City of Oz). But almost as good as seeing the movie or reading t he book was hearing all the people talking about it. Age didn't s eem to matter -- I overheard conversations everywhere when the movie fi rst opened as teens and adults discussed the pros and cons of the film and the book. What was your response? Have you noticed an i ncrease in readers of the books, either re-reading or motivated to pick them up for the first time?
