I should get around to reading the Hunger Games, shouldn't I?

I know! I can hardly wait! If I don't get it from the bookstore, my friend's first to check it out, so she'll let me borrow it after her. Of course, first I'll try to buy it myself.

Neither did I until my friend told me. xD In fact, I had no idea he had even read The Hunger Games until then.
&& Yes, Ten, you should :3

I've never heard about Hunger Games before. What's it about?
The Lightning Thief movie comes out 12 February 2010 (USA). I went to the bathroom and missed the preview.

I want to see that movie, but both of my friends that saw the preview said they didn't like it. The Hunger Games is set in a future world where North America has been split into 12 districts. The Capitol (not a district) controls them. The districts tried to revolt, but the Capitol defeated them. As a punishment, each district has to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to the Capitol. There, the Capitol makes them fight to the death in a giang arena. They have to find their own food, too. The last one standing wins, and this is all broadcast on live TV and is like a reality show for the Capitol. The competition is called The Hunger Games.

I've read the whole Lightning Thief series and it's really good, but I dunno how the movie will turn out.

Meh, they'll probably mess it up like they did with the Harry Potter movies. The only movie that's just like the book that I've ever seen was Holes.

I've heard (or perhaps read) that the reason Holes was so faithful to its source is that the author was involved in writing the screenplay.
