HUNGER GAMES HUNGER GAMES HUNGER GAMES!!!!

ZOMG, they’ve released the first trailer to the Hunger Games movie!!!!!   So much excitement about this movie now that I’ve seen the trailer and the fact that it doesn’t look like shite.  Yes, I spelled shite, with an e.  Because this adaptation of the PHENOMENAL book by Suzanne Collins had so much potential to be utter shite.  But this trailer, oh dear, this trailer.  It doesn’t even show you any part of the actual games, it shows you everything about the build-up to the actual Games themselves, which admittedly does take up a good third or two-fifths of the book….so exciting.  Honestly, I can say that you should read the book series.  The first book will get you unbelievably hooked, and with the way it ends, you’ll immediately want to tear into Catching Fire, the second book of the trilogy.

I downloaded the first book to my iPad earlier this year as I had heard so much about how compelling the story is.  Richard Lawson on Gawker raved ridiculously about the series, and while I was hesitant as I really didn’t want to read a Twilight knock-off, I figured download one and see how it is.  I read the first chapter and was immediately hooked.  You know, I’m not going to bother with trying to describe the story, as the trailer does a fantastic job of actually setting up the story without giving anything of consequence away.  So enjoy:
