Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss was spot on and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch was fantastic.Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-28441691444520920412012-03-23T22:58:16.638-05:002012-03-23T22:58:16.638-05:00Hi Sally,

I talked my son into reading it, then he talked his brother into reading it, then they eagerly awaited the next two books. Had to pre-order them so they could get them as soon as possible. And I still haven't read them. But I am planning to, if I can find them now.<br /><br />My oldest boy went to the midnight showing and got home at 3:00 a.m. I'm going to take the other one on Sunday, unless it's sold out.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-77794776179756496942012-03-23T21:11:08.737-05:002012-03-23T21:11:08.737-05:00I am passionate about anything that gets kids to r...I am passionate about anything that gets kids to read. My son was in K when the Harry Potter books went viral. We read all the books together and waited impatiently for each movie. We would take him out of school early to make the matinee that wasn't so crowded. Happy memories for all of us.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758737470750841665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-80750039651474839652012-03-23T11:35:46.404-05:002012-03-23T11:35:46.404-05:00Hi Sioux,

I'll be lucky to get a full sentence from him about how he liked the movie.<br />DonnaDonna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-31217033143412863982012-03-23T11:23:33.644-05:002012-03-23T11:23:33.644-05:00I have not read any of the "Hunger Gasme"...I have not read any of the "Hunger Gasme" books. Have you? I've heard they are quite riveting. Let us know what Michael thought of the movie.
