Anyone into the Hunger Games? I was skeptical due to the similarities to Battle Royale. And there are strong similarities, but the movie was pretty good regardless. It's definitely got a different flavor though, being focused on one character and showing more personal themes. Some characterizations were a little weak, it seemed like Cinna was supposed to have a significant mentoring relationship with Katniss but they hardly showed it. They did try to cram in a lot into less than three hours. I have heard from multiple people that the books are good. At some point I'll get around to reading them. >.> |

I plan to finish reading the Chronicles of Narnia, then I'll read the Hunger Games before I watch the movie. My sister saw it and liked it. I intend to show her Battle Royale so I get her opinion on that as well. |

Battle Royale, the book, had so much more depth than the movie (though the movie was fun). |

[quote="Marekenshin"]Battle Royale, the book, had so much more depth than the movie (though the movie was fun).[/quote] Yes, although the movie stayed remarkably true to the original. Of course some things had to be adapted to work as a movie (no way to characterize all 42 students well,) but it's enjoyable nonetheless. |

I've never heard of the books until the movie came out. I use to think it was something to do with Eating competitions. I was disappointed when I found out what it really was about. |
