the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Okay,  I did read this when it came out in 2008 but I read it again with Ms. Bonardelli's class.  It was just as good the second time.  However, I could not get the movie characters out of my head.  One of the best things about reading a book before seeing the movie is that you make the setting your own.  It becomes your own personal storyboard.
