Some stories stand out more than others because of their originality and appeal.
Currently, I'm reading BAG OF BONES by Stephen King, which has been on my TBR for far too long. And since the movie will premiere on A&E on December 11th, I thought I'd better get a move on. :-) I prefer to read books before I watch the movie version.
THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy was something I couldn't get enough of. I am in the middle of A LOT of series, but this one I had to devour sooner than the others. The story was/is so fascinating to me because it could really happen, IMHO.
And the sixteen-year-old protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, is a strong-willed young woman who is defiant against an unjust government. Katniss is endearing and not some whiny teen who thinks of nothing but her own interests. Even the two young men vying for her affections are characters you will love as well. I love Gale, but I'm team Peeta all the way! Teehee. ;-)
If you have not read these books, please do. The first movie is coming out March 23, 2012. And I am sooo there. :-D
And I cannot wait for this movie. Watch the trailer below:

I've heard good things about the Hunger Games trilogy but have not read it. I may eventually.
nice trailer, t, thx...
but i'm SO tired of all the 'pretty' actors coming out of hollyweird, and other places... give me 'real life' actors... as ugly as i am... put your 'pretty' ones on a high shelf and leave em there... make believe would be much better without them!
Charles,
You won't regret it. It's very good. :-D
Laughing Wolf,
You're welcome. You're not ugly! Good point about Hollywood actors.
lol... thx t, nor am i 'pretty' ;)
I can't wait! Loved these books!
Laughing Wolf,
Oh, good grief, lol. ;-)
Robin,
I know, right? And what's more, the movie will rock because Collins wrote the screenplay herself! :-D
