Who is ready for the movies??? I just watched the trailer again this morning, and I am really hoping that they do the books justice. So often they muck up the translation from book - movie. For example Twilight. I love the books, but I can't say enough bad things about the movies. I won't even watch the first one again it is that bad. I guess I just expect more, especially when you have such a following that loves the books.

But here's to the Hunger Games coming out awesome!

    I loved the books! Read all of them in a week and then proceeded to re-read them to make sure I didn't miss anything! Its a great story. I'm withholding judgement on the movie until I've seen it. I've seen too many books ruined by the movies, so I'm hoping that they do the books justice! :)

    I hear ya! I read them all straight in a few days also, and have re-read the series 3 more times now. So depressing through the last book, but a really great series!

    I just finished book one and couldn't put it down!!!!!!!
    I am totally in love with it. A family member is currently reading book 2, so I'm tearing my hair out waiting for him to finish it...as we know book 1 has the worst possible cliff hanger ending ever.

    I LOVE the hunger games series and can't wait for the movies!!!!!!!!! But I agree... the movies definitely have potential to be amazing but Hollywood is Hollywood..... *rolls eyes* I'm planning on re-reading the series again soon..... working my way thru the Game of Thrones series at the moment

    I haven't read the books yet. i was a little turned off that they were YA. Maybe I will give them a try. Harry Potter was YA and I'm a die hard Harry Potter fan. =)

    They definitely don't read as Young Adult books. Very somber tones throughout the book.

    I will have to read them. I picked the first one up and looked at it, but it didn't really grab my attention. I will give them a try.
