Ashe Wrote:I'd say it gave as much back story as Battle Royale did. An intro, and very little more. The following two books, from what I've heard, continue to develop the setting outside of the Games themselves, as well.
The districts and its history were brushed through in literally one sentence. In Battle Royal, they at least explained their motivation and how the BR act was passed. I don't really know much about the books, but the movies was very lazy in its attempt. Maybe the book doesn't explain the back story much either, but yeah, that's how I saw it.
