I am an adult fan of the books and now the movie. They kept true to the story. Yes it doesn't include absolutely everything about the book, but how can it? You can't turn a book into a 2 hour movie, so they pick the important parts of the stories and leave out some of the fluff. What they did include was exactly as the book was written. I LOVED IT!!! I've never been as big a fan of any other series as I am The Hunger Games. It has a realistic feel, you become part of the movie, the same as you do in the book. I can't say it enough I LOVED IT! I'm going to see it a second time this weekend (and I never do that!)
