A review by promisedlostboy
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
medium-paced
It's nice, being thrown into a familiar story, But instead of reliving the whole movie,, I get to flesh out parts of the world and story that I didn't know about.
I do like reading a book before the movie but it can only be a disappointing experience because 90% of the time the adaptation is bad but if you read the book after the adaptation then you get to experience the world on the whole different level and it's generally a happy/good experience
And if you read the book after the movie, you aren't disappointed by the movie as much, you see the differences yes but you don't have expectations about the movie so you go in excited and a bit naive but it's a good naive
And when you read the book, and understand the difference and why some of the differences are there, you kinda appreciate the movie because it led you to a book that you really enjoy
