Genre: 9 Movie: 8
What's it about? Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the twelve districts to fight to the death on live television, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister's place for the latest match.
What did I think? The young adult book series of The Hunger Games steps into the movie realm as many others (Harry Potter, Twilight, etc.) have done. This ranks right up there with those and I look forward to them finishing the series. If you read the books, you will like the movie...and if you haven't, you will still like it. It is easy to follow with good action and a strong cast.
