Thorp and Sailor's Grave Board

Since all the kids are talking about it... Hunger Games?

Anyone interested in this? I am shocked that they are saying this is the next Harry Potter / Twilight in terms of popularity with young teens but the movie is about 24 kids ages 12-18 that have to kill each other and only one can survive (the author has been accused of ripping of Battle Royale).

I actually threw the book onto my phone and started reading it (on chapter 3) and it's pretty decent so far.

my fiance read the books and dug them alot.
i think my son read one too.
If she wants to go see it, then I will go, but I don't know too much about it.
it sounded like a pretty good plot though.

My wife read them a while back. Says they are very good books. Been talking about the movie for a while but she is not feeling good so that put a squash on seeing it this weekend. I just hard on the talk radio that this movie is supposed to be the most popular movie of all time? Some movie critic said that. What is that about?

my GF read them and is going to see the movie tonight. It sounds like a mix of Battle Royal & Lord of the Flys!
