Evan Vitale asked this question about The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1):
I recently watched the movie (I know... why would you ever watch the movie without reading the book first!?!). I was just curious - how different is the book from the movie?

I learned more about certain characters because of their portrayal in the films. True, a book will offer more... but we wouldn't want a voice-over narrator in the movie would we?
