The Hunger Games

            So many people have read or seen the Hunger Games whether it be the movie or the book. I like many other people really enjoyed reading the Hunger Games trilogy. I read each book three types and each time I re-read the books were still as good as I remember when reading them the first time. My favorite of the books out of the Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay was the first book in the trilogy. The trilogy is by Suzanne Collins and is definitely an interesting trilogy.

            The first book is my favorite of the Hunger Games Trilogy because it seems like in the first book she was using a ton of detail and had a great story going on; whereas in the other two books the story of the whole trilogy started to become a little bit confusing and a little bit out there with the ideas. Though, I do love the whole trilogy I just think that the first book was the best.

            Many people (including a bunch of my friends that read the book then went to watch the movie) were disappointed that the movie left out details and other important concepts in the book. I thought that the movie compared to the book wasn’t all that bad because I’ve seen some movies where they just completely butcher up the whole story where it’s to the point where it doesn’t even make sense to anyone. So compared to the book the movie was alright, but if you look at the movie as a whole and not compare it to the book I think they did a really good job with the movie! The only thing I didn’t like at all about the movie was when they were by the cornucopia and the creatures came at out, I was very disappointed that they didn’t have the previous tributes from the districts and I thought they were too tiny to be all that terrifying.

            The actors in the movie I absolutely loved because the role of Katniss went to actress Jennifer Lawrence and I thought she played the role of Katniss just like I imaged Katniss to be when I read the book, though I imaged her being even more affectionate to her little sister. I also liked the other two actors that played Gale and Peeta which were Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson. I think they both played their roles in the movie very well. And of course who doesn’t want to watch a movie with Josh Hutcherson? So overall the actors and actresses did a really good job playing their role.

            I enjoyed both the book and the movie, but I recommend if you haven’t read the book or seen the movie to watch the movie first then go and read the book because then you’ll think they did really good with the movie. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is worth reading and going to see the movie.
