With the movie recently being released, there's a lot of hype over The Hunger Games right now. My co-worker said, "This book will change your life." My cousins can't stop talking about this book. My girlfriend is urging me to read this book. Yes, I'm a cynic when it comes to popular franchises (whether it's Jamba Juice or Harry Potter), but I'll give this book a try.
My girlfriend's copy of The Hunger Games is in my lap right now. Time to judge this book by its cover. From the description on the back, the premise of the book reminds me of Battle Royale or Lord of the Flies, children becoming tainted and killing each other. Tim O'Brien's golden heron/egret/bird-thing holding an arrow on the front cover isn't a useful hint to the plot of the book. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm ready to enter this dystopian world...
