Why I chose The Hunger Games

I am reading the Hunger Games and am currently on chapter four. One of the main reasons I chose this book is because every one who has read it which is pretty much every one says they like and I have not yet read it so I thought I might as well give it a shot. Also I have seen the movie and wanted insight on the cut parts as well as the deeper meaning that the movie didn't portray like theme. Another reason  is every one said the book was better then the movie and I wanted to see for myself. A major reason that i wanted to read it is I like distopian societies as well as survival books. Finally because like distopian societies good reads recommended it.These are the major reasons I picked to read the Hunger Games. Have you read the Hunger Games? Why or Why not?
