Books vs. Movies

     Many of us must already know that Hunger Games is out in theaters and it seems that all the people who have seen it can't seem to stop talking about it while those who haven't seen it yet can't wait to watch it. Honestly I don't get the hype Hunger Games is creating. Don't go hating on me okay, it's just that I haven't read the book so I might not understand the movie. I have always liked reading over watching the movie because in the books, everything is there while in the movies almost half of the book's content has been cut. I get that it concerns the budget and no one would stay in the theaters for more than three hours just to watch a movie, right? I guess when it comes to reading, your imagination is fully exercised and no one dictates to you their own preference for this character or how that scene should look like, everything is completely under your control. In the end, I might just wait for the Hunger Games to be shown on cable because I would definitely read the books first before going to watch the movie.
