    How I know the books are good - they got my brother reading :laugh:

    Now it's just hard to find a series I like as much.

    I loved the series! Book 2 was my favorite! I will more than likely re-read them again before the movies come out! :)

    I'm almost done with book 1 now, and SO glad I decided to start reading it! Can't wait to get started on the other two!

    I blasted through 1 and 2 so fast. Now I'm stalled out in the 3rd book.

    At this point, I don't even like Katniss anymore. I was rooting for her, but now she has just irritated me too much. She's so selfish.

    I'm gonna drag myself through it, but due to the pain of the third book, I probably wouldn't recommend this series to people.

    Her attitude threw me at first too but I had to remember that it comes from a teenager's way of thinking. Just keep reading, it does get better!

    Loved books 1 & 2 - 3 was still good but not as satisfying. I felt that 3 was going along good and kinda hit a certain point (won't give it away for those who haven't read it yet) and then was just rushed through to the end. When I finished the book I sat there for a minute like "huh"

    Still awesome...I am looking forward to the movie...however...on the trailer there are already a couple things that don't add up with the book so I am a little concerned. (Note to self: the book is always better)

    Agreed about the end... trying not to give any spoilers away either (maybe turn back now, anyone still reading!!)... but it did sorta feel like it was building up to something that we never end up seeing. We hear about it... but I wanted to be there in the middle of it all!
    I still loved it all though. Read all 3 in the space of a week, and Mockingjay from start to finish in one day. Looking forward to the movies, but am making my friends read the books first before we go see it as I'd hate for them to miss out on anything. Lots of details that I don't think would translate well into film. For example... at moments in Book 1, when we need to know Katniss' inner thoughts about Haymitch to understand her actions towards Peeta... how will we get inside her head??

    I read them last year - loved them. Re-read them this month (just finished Mockingjay on Sunday) and love them even more!

    Review of the movie, spoilers included!!!!

    Says pretty much what I feared. PG-13 sanitized the horror right out of it.

    *shrug* guess I won't rush to the theater.

    I resisted these books for so long, but the movie trailers looked so tempting ... that I read all three books in a weekend during my spring break!

    I need to re-read them, in fact, and actually savor everything.

    My kids read the books and loved them! I resisted, but I saw the film on Saturday and found it intriguing. I saw it with my 12 year old who was very vocal about all the parts they "changed" in the film. I figured the fact that there were differences wouldn't make the fact that I saw the film first and then read the book too troublesome.

    I like the book so far. I've just started it though.

    I love The Hunger Games. I got the first book the weekend it came out in Aus, and since then have become a huge fan.
