I'm usually wary about seeing books turned into movies. Thankfully though, it seems the writers and producers of this film loved the books as much as I did. It's a faithful adaptation, with only a few minor changes that I can only imagine were made either due to time constraints or to keep the film PG-13. As far as the cast went, everyone was well cast and did a terrific job bringing their characters to life - particularly Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta. This was a smart, well done movie that should appeal to not only fans of the book but to a wide audience. I definitely recommend checking it out!
