The Hunger Game is one of the most popular young adult novel series rivaling Harry Potter and Twilight. As the first of its film adaptations was just released in March 2012, readers and audiences have been pleasantly surprised at this fresh, dynamic, young female protagonist.

The Capitol is forced to amputate Peeta’s leg due to the amount of blood he lost and replaces it with a metal prosthetic leg. The movie shows Peeta not getting injured that bad, and it’s a big difference because throughout the book Peeta is supposed to appear weaker.
For children who don 't have much to eat in District 12, there wasn 't a lot of eating occurring during the scenes leading up to "The Hunger Games." They are called the "Hunger" games for a reason.
