I don't get this  ???

I've seen both movies. Is Hannah a knock off of the book because they both feature a heroine?

Ginsu Victim:
There's no resemblance between the stories of The Hunger Games and Hanna.

We saw it this weekend.  I liked the movie better than the book.  I enjoyed the books but the writing style is rather annoying.  It was like reading a journal being written in real time.  I tried re-reading it recently and gave up once I got past The Reaping.

I thought the acting was great and the actors were well cast for the most part.  Cato and Peta looked a little too similar at times which got confusing.  I expected to not like Peta from what I've read but I thought he was fine.

The book definitely reads at a very low level and sentence structure is designed to keep children entertained, because the author knows she is competing with xboxs and ipods.  I can see it being a very annoying read for some people.   I know book 3 for me was almost impossible to read and I had to force my way through it.  I hope the movie is done better, but since the author is adapting the books to screenplays herself, I don't hold out much hope.

I had to skim the 3rd book as well.  I also was dissapointed to see her name all over the credits.  I was hoping the 2nd and especially 3rd book would get some tweaking for the movies.

OT - They showed the trailer for the new Twilight movie before Hunger Games.  Looks like it is going to be a comedy.   >:D
