Book v Movie ........ The Hunger Games !!!

Hello readers,
Just before I begin my post I would like to apologise for not posting in ages ! moving on .........
I will warn you , IF YOU HAVN'T READ  OR SEEN THE HUNGER GAMES AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO NOT READ THIS AS IT CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS !!! :)

Both the movie and the book of the hunger games are EPIC but are in several ways different as I will point out for you.

So here we have the diferences,

  • In the movie the avox girl isn't  mentioned at all
  • One of the biggest differences is how Katniss gets the mockingjay pin.In the movie she is walking around a sort of market place when she spots the pin and is given it for free where as in the book Katniss is given the pin from madge the mayors daughter.
  • Haymitch doesn't fall off the stage at the reaping in the movie but does in the book
  • Before Katniss leaves she has three visitors:Gale,Prim and her mother but in the book Peetas dad also visits and gives her cookies which she later thows out the train window :( I would have eaten them !
  • In the book it's Cinna who tells the couple to hold hands where as in the movie it's Peetas's idea
  • in the movie before the games start Katniss doesn't get distracted and loose time when the games begin but in the book she gets distracted and looses time
  • In the book Katniss finds water a day after the games begin but she finds a pond straight away in the movie
  • In the book Rue points out the tracker jacker nest about Katniss to warn her but in the movie Rue tells her to drop the nest on their heads rather than warning her of the nest
  • In the book after Rue's death Katniss recieves a gift from district 11 but this doesn't happen in th movie
  • In the book when Peeta is sick Katniss tells him a story about how she got Prims goat but this doesn't happen in the movie
They are some of the many differences in both the book and movie .
Personaly I prefer the book because it gives more detail than the movie and out of all the changes that were made I prefer the way they have them in the book.I still love the movie but i prefer the book a little bit more. I would give the movie a ..........9/10 and the book a ............. 9.5/10 !!!

That is pretty much all I hve to say about the hunger games and I will certainly do this again when the second movie comes out ! thanks for reading goodbye !!!

  1. That's so funny, I just finished reading the second book yesterday! I haven't seen the movie yet, so I didn't actually read your blog, just in case it gives anything away! We've got a long bus journey tomorrow so I'll make a start on the third one then. Have you read all of the books?

  3. I just saw the movie yesterday...I'd give it 3 1/2 stars, maybe four out of five. To be honest, I thought the book wasn't that great. Well, it was good, but not AMAZING, you know? I thought the movie was better than the book. I think the books went down in quality, like the first was really good, the second was ok and the third was the worst, in my opinion. You should do more 'book vs film' things, you're very good at it!

    P.S If you're doing another Book vs Film, will you do Diary of a Wimpy kid?
