invalid robots (un-sci-fi)

I have not read or seen Hunger Games yet. Since it’s everywhere, and sounds relatively interesting (both book and film), I was curious to check it out, but I get more hesitate each time I read a review. Not because of the violence or the stuff the movie left out…but because of the names. The names are just too odd for me to not completely throw me off the story. I think that is a reason why I never got into sci-fi…the unusual names of characters and places. I know, it adds to the imaginative, different landscape – for the reader (or viewer) to escape into a different world… Clearly, I need to stick to the movie because if I was reading this, I think the spell check in my head would just make the names all pop up in bold red.
