Figured the book had to have more information about everything
How is the information?
Honestly I had never heard of The Hunger Games until it came out as a movie.  I'm in my 40's I'm not exactly in the demographics for this book.  Recently I caught the movie on Netflix and really enjoyed it.  Figured the book had to have more information about everything (books are always better than the movie) - so I picked the book up (well rented it on my Kindle Fire).  AND I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN.  I had seen the movie, I knew actually how it ended, but I was so totally enthralled with the story.  It is a very interesting and very well written story.  As soon as I finished it, I wanted to start reading the second book.  In fact, I just started reading the second book yesterday.  I sat and read for 7 hours last night.  I only stopped because it was 1:30 a.m. and I had to work today.  I am glad that I saw the movie first to put some of the descriptions of the people in The Capital in perspective, but not really necessary.
