For all of those who read the books and not just saw the movie, The Hunger Games, I hope you will realize how false this review is. When I was reading I couldn't believe that he got this impression from The Hunger Games and then decided to project that impression as the norm, which I certainly hope it is not. Did he not see the anguish in Katnis and Prim's faces, and in all of the other children's faces, as they were hoping they would not be the ones chosen to die at the reaping? Did he not see the scene between Katnis and Gale discussing how they could stop the games from being watched? The worst part about this review is he assumes that this is the norm for most viewers, that they all worship the games and would love to be the ones chosen to DIE. All of the children die except for one, in usual circumstances, the districts don't glorify this event except for the Capitol, and I do not believe that the readers or the viewers see this as some great exhalation of reality TV in general, and certainly not of the Hunger Games themselves inside the world this author has created. Read yourself and see what you think.
