NY Times Article on The Hunger Games

This article asks a great question, who is the audience for The Hunger Games?  It's complicated to answer, and demonstrates a fascinating development in the book-to-movie world.  Also, at the end, writer Pamela Paul compares HG to Star Wars:  


"Mr. Levithan also likens “The Hunger Games” to the 1977 demographic-defying “Star Wars,” another teenager-against-the-world (or universe) film. “To say that ‘The Hunger Games’ is a teen movie is like saying ‘Star Wars’ is a teen movie because it involves a teenager,” Mr. Levithan argued."
