The previews of The Hunger Games movie peaked my interest.  Movie theatres and babysitters are out of my budget right now, so I picked up the book.  Written for young adults, it is a fast read and I found myself wishing I had bought the next two books in the trilogy.  Dystopian novels are my favorite genre.  However, I couldn't help but feel like I was reading a mash-up of The House of Stairs, Handmaid's Tale and The Running Man.  Maybe I'm getting old enough that everything new is starting to feel like a knockoff of something else.
