I listened to the audiobook version of The Hunger Games in preparation for my book club meeting as read by Carolyn McCormick. I thought she was a great reader of the novel. It was a thrilling book to listen to. It was just as thrilling the second time through, especially as I couldn’t remember some the details or had merged some of the details from the later books into the first book. Listening to the novel constantly kept me on the edge of my seat. I think it will make a fantastic movie if they do it right!
Speaking of the movie, I am concerned how they will get Katniss’s inner thoughts on film. Much of what goes on during the games is her inner dialogue – how will that transfer to the big screen? Also I’m a bit scared to see the “mutts.”
Is anyone else looking forward to the movie? Excited? Concerned? Please comment!
If you are looking for a new way to enjoy The Hunger Games, or want to see what all of the fuss is about, I highly recommend the audio book version. For more about this book, please see my original review.

I'm really excited and concerned at the same time. I just don't want to be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Hunger Games in print, but I really enjoyed the audio. I'm not sure how I feel about the movie yet. I don't think I'll be waiting in line on opening day, but I might watch it eventually. After all it did take me awhile to even get to the story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to the challenge!
I know how you feel Alexis - I don't want to be disappointed either. I am excited though and hopefully I'll be able to convince my book and movie club that this is one movie the ladies should check out in the theatre!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it's quite the thrilling read. I remember the first time I listened to it - it was like I was glued to my earphones, haha.
