The Hunger Games

I had heard of the Hunger Games books back in the day but never had a desire to read them. They seemed a bit too young for me. I'm at the awkward middle age were young adult books are too young but adult books like romance novels, I'm not desperate enough to read yet. So with that I ignored the Hunger Games.  I've had lots of people tell me how awesome they are. Now that first movie came out today and the media blitz for it is everywhere I decided to give it some of my attention. I got the first book for cheap at a super giant store that I hate and finished it in two days. It was an easy read and a good book. I don't know if it will be one of those books that I choose to read again but I'm definitely intrigued enough to go out and buy and read the second installment, Catching Fire. Also, the movie made $68.3 million on Friday. It's the best opening ever for a non-sequel.
