Today's release of the new posters for The Hunger Games movie couldn't be more timely for me. I began the trilogy on a whim Monday during a long flight when I found my husband had added the books to my Kindle. Three days later, I'm finished, thanks to books that refused to be put down, even when I knew I should be sleeping.

Never have I seen a set of actors in a movie or TV adaptation so precisely match the image I had of a book's characters in my mind. The only exception is Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, and as soon as I saw the glint of gold eyeliner, Kravitz took the place of my previous mental image of Cinna.

See all eight posters, including Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, Gale, Cato, Rue, Effie, and Cinna.
