The Hunger Games.
Wow. The Hunger Games is the best film I have watched this year, and within the space of a week I managed to watch it twice at the cinemas, despite having to go on a mad hunt to find an available showing. We read the opening to the first book, The Hunger Games, in English Literature, but due to a lack of interest by other pupils we never got past chapter one, which was really disappointing. Time for a little confession: I used to adore Twilight, but thankfully that has changed. I'm sure my friends will back me up on that point. After buying the books and watching the films for both The Twilight Saga and The Hunger Games, I can safely say that Suzanne Collins is definitely the better writer. Katniss Everdeen is a much more inspirational and stronger character than Bella Swan was, and despite the fact that both books are unrealistic, The Hunger Games is more believable and even seems real sometimes. Katniss's determination to win wasn't influenced by her boyfriend; it was her sister. Whereas in New Moon, when Edward leaves Bella she falls into a world of depression and utter uselessness and her character just becomes repetitive and boring.
