My wife loved the books (but she also loved the Twilight Series ) so I have a feeling I am going to be dragged to see this.

One review I heard today called it the Hunger Lames.

My Wife and I are currently listening to the audio book. It's pretty good so far.

The reviews I've seen are positive. The first book is supposed to be a solidly written teen angst book. The movie supposedly follows closely to the book. I'm not really interested, but it is probably decent if you are into the genre.

Movie Bob said it is cheaply made, generic and poorly put together; I believe him.

A PG-13 Battle Royale with a stupid plot doesn't excite me.



NYTIMES, CNN etc all said it was awesome. so.

OK, my wife dragged me to it. It wasn't bad, kinda dark. It's obvious that it's part of a bigger story, as the ending leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions. Still, not my kind of show, but I wouldn't say it's not worth seeing.
