There are a lot of similarities and differences between the the book and the movie Hunger Games.But there is only a few that stuck out to me.

There are many similarities that stand out to me.For example,in the movie and book prim is chosen for the hunger games.Katniss volunteered for tribute where her little sister would not be out there alone and she would have to take care of her mother at home.Last Katniss also wins in both the book and movie.

Some important differences are,Peeta loses his leg in the book and in the movie his leg is perfectly fine.Also Katniss ins up in a white room after they win the games and is worried about if Peeta is died from his leg injury in the book.In the movie however Katniss gets to she him right after the games.
