The Hunger Games leaves fans of the book hungry for more, says Melissa Anderson in her review of the movie; “at the risk of indulging in tired, pointless debates about page versus screen,” she writes, “it is impossible for this movie to ever hope to match the fury of the book.”
But the fury of the fans? Unmatched.
Says sohit234v:
