Eclipse fans get in on the Hunger Games act

Twilight fans queuing in Leicester Square ahead of tonight’s Eclipse premiere have been passing the time by reading Suzanne Collins’ phenomenal book The Hunger Games.

Handing out copies of The Hunger Games in the queue at the UK premiere of Eclipse.

3,000 copies of The Hunger Games have been distributed to teenagers and young adults this afternoon, who were eager to read the book recommended by Twilight author Stephenie Meyer. Meyer became a champion of The Hunger Games books after posting a rave review on her website:

“My latest excitement is this: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn’t have to stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it. I’ve been recommending it to total strangers in Target. And now to everyone who reads my website. The Hunger Games is amazing.”
