day 84 - hunger games

over the last year I have heard over and over again about the hunger games. I have even ventured with the intent to purchase the book a couple of times and then left the store with another book in hand. When my oldest came home from school this past week asking to get a copy I figured I better go and get it and make sure it was appropriate for him.

I went to bed last night and thought I would begin the book before I drifted off to sleep. The next thing i knew it was 5:30 in the morning and I was reading the final page!!! I indeed read the entire book in one sitting and really enjoyed it. Yes, it is teeny and a very easy read but it was also thought provoking and sweet and PG gruesome.

I'm curious, have you read the book or series? What are your thoughts? Movie or no?
