On Sunday, amid mounting curiosity and peer pressure (oh, and that direct order from my boss, complete with a copy of the book), I finally broke down and read The Hunger Games . So now, just a week after brazenly declaring that I knew nothing about The Hunger Games, I can now claim to know quite a bit about the first book in the series. I still haven’t seen the film (that will change tonight), but there were quite a few things about the book that I found surprising.
Maybe it’s to his credit that it took Gary Oldman this long to earn an Oscar nomination.
Eugene (Sam Milby) is a shoe designer who takes a leave from his work and heads to Bukidnon to escape problems from work. There he meets Raffy (KC Concepcion), who is a cautious person that teaches him to embrace and appreciate life. They meet at an adventure park where it is love at first sight for both.
