I had seen the movie, and was inpressed by the plot, or the bit of it that was portrayed in the film, but my intrigue was not based on my affection for the film. In the first place, the film didn't even have the same introduction as the book.
I thought it was interesting that Mrs. Collins wrote her descriptions of Katniss' actions and observations in the present tense. The only place I've ever heard the present tense in literature is in second person fiction. However it has an interesting sound in the first person limited, and I'll probably be given to dabble with it in the future.
Maybe I'll post the result of my dabblings. Hmmm....
