In the beloved “Hunger Games” series, there is some disagreement on the adaptation of the novels to movies, but for the most part, there was a widespread appreciation of the transformation from book to movie.

There will never be a perfect book-to-movie adaptation, but I personally felt that they did a wonderful job connecting the essence of the spirit in the books to the movies. They kept the energy high and I really liked how similar the movies truly were to the books because as for series, this is one of the closest to the novel sets that I have personally seen.

I would give the books an 4.37/5 rating and the movies a solid 2.75/5 rating. As for adaptation, I would give them a 4.5/5. For character development in comparison to the books, I would give the movies a 3.25/5.  For imagery, I would give it an 4.37/5. I would highly suggest the books and movies in this series.
