Read and loved the series. Its a great story and Suzanne Collins is a fantastic writer with amazing characters.
The movie sadly fell short, as most movie adaptations do, though it was better then a lot of others I've seen.
I think Hollywood was so excited to make sure this was the next big thing that they didn't give the books the time and consideration they needed to take the movie from being OK to being Great.

I read the first book, am working on the second. I probably won't see the movies. Movies based on books are usually major let downs, except for the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie.
These books are good. It teaches children the lessons of what happens when government controls your life too much. I hope that message gets sunk in to the heads of kids reading these books. It's a lesson they need to learn quick.

I saw the movie last night and I agree with Jullianna's last post. I thought the movie was pretty well done and though there are lots of details missing that were in the book, one can still get the gist of the story. To those that like to read, I would recommend reading the book even if you already watched the movie.
I do think there are some great messages in this book and some kids will get them, but it went over my class' head. I thought it was funny because those that both watched the movie and read the book thought the biggest difference was that the book explains why a certain character calls Katniss 'Catnip' and in the movie they don't. It's just assumed that you know he is teasing (they didn't understand that). Obviously there were other bigger things missing or changed in the movie.

I choose not to read the books or movies simply because from what I know of the synopsis, not interested.
Here's a question: Have you ever thought that the hunger games could really happen in real life? After all, we did have the Aztec games, (at least I think it was them) were the losing team was sacrificed.
