Before "The Hunger Games"
There was "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (Spoiler alert)

Then again, I'm not the target market.
And that dystopian-future-saved-by-adolescent-hero dollar?
That's a good dollar.
So let the games begin.

drifty, I read each of the Hunger Games books just this week. I have to say, it was mighty good fiction. Haven't been sucked into a story like that in a while. From the trailers, the screen version should be pretty faithful to novels. Sure, they were written for a younger audience, but the themes and issues dealt with in those books were still interesting and worthwhile, even to an old fogy like me. I'll be watching the movie the weekend it is released.
Thanks for the tip, James!
