Best book to movie adaptation in a while

One of the best book to movie adaptations i have seen in a while!! Nice to hear some of the corwd within the theatre cheer at the end. When i originally heard that they were making the big screen version of this immediatly 'Twilight' came to mind and i cringed thinking although liking the books the movies crapped out. Then the trailers and all the movie clips slowly started to come out making me leery of the cast they had hired. After finally seeing the film it all fell into place and was amazing! The cast was great, Lenny Kravitz in his first big screen role as lead charector Katniss's stylist Cinna. Casting Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen was brilliant as she made us think she was who she was portraying mostly due to her facial expressions etc.
Now i'm thinking of re-reading Suzzane Collins next book in the trilogy 'Catching Fire' although warning my son that the action in book 1-2 dies down a bit in the 3rd. By any right you should read the books before going to see this or renting it for that matter. Therefor you will see how bang on the adaptive work was in this.
