Hunger Games

To be honest, I'd never heard of the book until the movie came out. And i didn't really intend on seeing it. But i came across the book whilst scrolling though my kindle store and thought I would give it a go. The book is a great read and I'm already onto the second. Suzanne Collins is a terrific writer and also did the screenplay for the film. The film is also quite well done and sticks to much of the novel due in part to her writing and executive producing role. Jennifer Lawrence is spectacular as the protagonist and delivers a memorable performance. Woody Harrelson revels in his mentor role (possible because he gets to have hair) and old man Donald Sutherland plays the bad guy well. I look forward to the sequel. 4 stars.
