I read the entire “Hunger Games” series when it first came out, so this wasn't new territory for me. However, when the previews for the movie first came out, Matt was really interested in reading the book (and this boy doesn't usually like reading that much! I was so excited!). So he was reading it and I was reading over his shoulder whenever I had the chance, so I decided to just pick it up and re-read the whole thing. For the movie's sake, of course. And I'll probably re-read the other two, because I can't not. But I'm trying to read them slower this time, because one of the complaints I had the first time I read the series was that it all moved too quickly in the second and third books — and I'm not sure if it was just because I was so eager to devour the books that I wolfed them down too quickly or if it was the way it was written. So I'm looking forward to it.
