PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

22. "RE: Hunger Games"
LAST EDITED ON 03-28-12 AT 08:37 PM (EST)

About 6 months ago, my younger daughter started reading The Hunger Games, One day I asked her about the story, and she told me the concept. I told her where I'd read a similar story before:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Walk

And, of course, the government-sponsored reality TV show:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Running_Man

Suzanne Collins added the overlay of the Roman gladiators to the battle scenes and the teen-girl-friendly Twilight-reminiscent triangle of Katniss-Gale-Peeta (what teen girl doesn't want two guys chasing her?), but the general concepts were Richard Bachman's.

So what did "Bachman" think of The Hunger Games? He liked it:

But I haven't read the book or seen the movie, so I'll defer on those questions. I'll just say that both of my daughters loved the book, but they're split on the movie.
