Many people I\u2019ve talked to have read it or are in the middle of reading one of the books. Hopefully I will have finished all three by the time I return home from Japan. I would like to start a discussion group to talk about the characters and points brought up in the book. Is this a possible reality or just sci-fi? Does it reflect where the world might be headed? After all the main themes are about government control, big brother, and personal independence. I think it would be fun to have a discussion about all of this, maybe even a live chat online.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">I also read that Hollywood is planning to make a movie based on the first book. Even though the movies are never as good as the books, I think it has the potential. Is this going to be as big as Harry Potter? What do you guys think?<\/span><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7024\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7024\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Reflecting-Hunger-Games.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7024\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2011\/09\/01\/the-hunger-games\/reflecting-hunger-games\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Reflecting-Hunger-Games.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,580\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Peter Le reflecting on &amp;#8220;The Hunger Games&amp;#8221;\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Peter Le reflecting on &amp;#8220;The Hunger Games&amp;#8221;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Reflecting-Hunger-Games-600x250.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7024\" title=\"Peter Le reflecting on &quot;The Hunger Games&quot;\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Reflecting-Hunger-Games.jpg\" alt=\"Peter Le reflecting on &quot;The Hunger Games&quot;\" width=\"600\" height=\"580\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter Le reflecting on &quot;The Hunger Games&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally finished The Hunger Games, the first book in a trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
