Wyatt,

I did not read the book, but I have seen the movie, and I noticed other holes in the story that just did not make any sense, and I could not suspend disbelief as well.

The holes that I noticed: the reaping of the children in district 12, which I presume would be part or all of the southeastern United States. The reaping stipulated that all children between 12 and 18 must participate - no exceptions.

Where were all the children from District 12?

If there are 12 districts in Panem, and let's say that 90% of the present population is gone for what ever reason, 200 years into the future. For just North Carolina alone, there would still be a million people. Now that is a lot of 12 to 18 year-olds.

The next gaping hole in the story is the fire storm use to rout-out Katnis. That fire induced maelstrom would have been inextinguishable in a matter of hours. That is just the reality of it.

It was a decent movie; however, there are certain limitations in this physical world that can not be breached, unless you consider that your audience is patently stupid, and will accept this nonsense.
