Life imitating art?

I've decided that I should read Hunger Games before I go and see the film. 
Yes, I know I'm a bit behind the times, I've no excuses. Well, I've plenty of excuses, but none of them would hold up to close scrutiny.
I'm unsure whether seeing the film straight after reading the book will be a good idea, but my hand is kind of forced on this one. 
On the subject of the film, I've so far managed to avoid any reviews and comments about it, other than it's worth seeing, and some advice to sit at the back of the theatre do to the shaky camera work. (Thank you friends) :o)
The one thing that did strike me when I started to read the book, was how shaky the print was.  It seemed that the movie was filmed in line with the text.

Then it dawned on me.  It was me shaking with anticipation of reading an exciting book.

  1. All that shaking is just going to get you more prepared for the movie. :o) I hope you love both!

  2. I didn't mind the shaking actually. It's funny how some things affect others. I saw very little wrong with the movie, despite what everyone else is saying. I just didn't see it at the time, and was totally enthralled. And here, here, I'm on the welcoming back committee with Peggy!

    1. These things don't affect me much either, although I know that my wife gets motion sickness, so we'll probably sit at the back.
      There's a committe? thanks :o)

    1. I've finished the first book in record time. We need to plan when we can fit the film in now. I'm looking forward to it as well. Have fun when you go. :o)
