The Hunger Games
Our local library is open again after being closed for refurbishment for several weeks. I have to admit that I'm usually a big fan of libraries but this one is a bit of a disppointment. I guess I might have been spoiled by having such a cool library where we used to live. I still haven't given up my old ticket, so could in theory still use my old one. Anyway, I was going past with my son on Saturday and I asked if he'd like to pop in to see if there was a book he'd like to find to read. He said yes, so in we went. I borrowed the DVD of the film The Hunger Games. I have a sample chapter on my Kindle to read but have not delved into it yet, I read a comment from a friend who said it was really good. The books have been marketed at the younger generation but my friend thought they were too good just for a teenage audience to enjoy. I have to say that I thought the film was well made and acted beautifully. Well worth watching, if you missed it.

The whole trilogy has been going like gangbusters at my library. I'd say people from 10-100 are interested!
I have not read "The Hunger Games" or watched the movie. I'm more interested in getting into "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series, even though that's kind of old news now. I tend to get into things a little later, like the "Twilight" books.
LB: It seems so over here too. I wish I could bottle the formula and sell it!
Tara: I read the first book GWTDT last summer and really enjoyed it. I've seen two film versions of it as well. I haven't yet moved on to the others in the series though. Nothing wrong in being a late adopter ;-)
