Topic: Hunger Games - magic bean?

I recently read the Hunger Games books, since i'd heard they were turning them into movies and figured i'd check it out.

Granted, maybe i wasn't paying attention.. but what exactly is going on in these books.  It's based in the real world, in the future..i believe in or around Colorado.   but all kinds of insane shit happens all the time... as i was reading it, i kept asking myself about 'the one magic bean' and i'm not entirely sure what it is.

it's in the future, so they have made technological advances, i'm down with that... however, i can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels like it's also fantasy.. some sort of hybrid.   

anywho, i'm envisioning this as a movie and not sure how they'll pull it off. 

thanks

Re: Hunger Games - magic bean?

awesome, thanks dorkman.   

that makes complete sense, looking at it from that perspective.  i think it took me about that long to finish them up as well... and good god katniss is annoying.   but to be fair, i'm not a 14 year old girl...

it should be interesting to see how they pull this off as a movie.
