I think it's like "The Running Man" for the Twilight crowd.

It's actually a very good book series.

That's barely even a teaser.

That's what you said about Twilight!

I've never read Twilight.

Jennifer lawerence is hotter as a blonde.

Have you read the entire series?

I think the first one will be easy to adapt to a movie, but the second and especially third aren't quite in the same vein as the first one and I will be curious how they adapt them to film. Also, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch just seems weird to me, idk.

I think that, out of all of them, the first one would make for the most boring movie. The second book was my favorite of the three. I think it would make for the best movie.

Interesting, why do you think the first will be the most boring? Seems to me it has the most action and a good chunk of the character development? The first one was also my favorite of the series so I may be a bit bias in that regard.

This is supposedly a teenage girl version of Battle Royale.

My 12 year old wants this for her birthday.....anybody read it and feel it's remotely appropriate for a 12 year old (albeit a fairly mature one)? The premise just seems very adult to me.

It's much more tame than the premise might suggest. No issues with sex or language that I can remember at all. Obviously, there's some violence, but it didn't seem particularly graphic or scary to me. I wouldn't have had a problem with my girls reading it when they were 12. I suspect that there are far worse books in their middle school library or the young adult fiction section of the local library.

It was the violence (specifically teen on teen) that worried me.

It's primarily a violent book. It's Survivor where instead of voting other off, they just kill each other as quickly as possible. If the contestants aren't killing fast enough, the producers help by changing the landscape. I presume the movie will cater to tweens and not show the deaths in detail.
