    Yeah I'm half way through book two too. Was teasing my bf when he was reading them coz they are aimed at 13 year olds but they are fantastic :D

    It took me a week to get through all three of them, and while I loved the first one, and really liked the second one. . . the third one was just kind of meh. Actually, near the end it crossed the line of Meh into . . . i hate you. But, the first two I loved!

    Hunger Games is nothing like Twilight.

    I loved the books and the film! I know Jennifer Lawrence was somewhat controversial when she was cast but I thought she was brilliant. I basically sobbed from the reaping scene to the end of the movie.

    I really loved the first two, but the last one was awful, ruined the whole series for me.

    Read all 3! They are great. My son was reading them and wanted to see movie. I love to read and NEVER watch a movie before a book. However, the movie is fantastic!

    definitely a fun series and i agree with others above the 3rd book just seemed off. like it was rushed or something.

    LOVE the series -- but definitely needed to decompress after each book.

    I was naughty and kept staying up WAY too late to read them, I haven't been sucked into a book like that in years. It was great.

    a friend of mine recommended I read them 3 years ago, but at that time I was into more romances and mysteries, so after I saw the trailer for the movie and after all the hype, she let me borrow her personal copy of the series haha, went through them in 2 days and then saw the movie

    LOVE THEM. LOVED THE MOVIE. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT MOVIES TO COME OUT. :heart:

    didn't really cry while reading the books, but I was a blubbering mess during the sad Katniss/Rue scene in the movie :sad:

    Battle Royale yes definitely, but it really has nothing in common with Twilight - apart from the fact that there's a teenage girl who likes two guys.... and I'm pretty damn sure Stephenie Meyer did not invent that concept lol

    Yup, I got hooked. In spite of feeling they aren't really all that well written and half the time the plot gets me annoyed - I couldn't stop1

    Exactly.

    They took Battle Royal and turn it into a typical teenage lover story drama like Twilight.
