I think
The Hunger Games was the most refreshing fictional book series I've ever read. As easy a read as
Harry Potter, shorter, and with tons of suspense and action. I also loved the romantic conflict that Katniss is put into. A dilemma not easily solved in real life (if ever such a situation could occur). Katniss' inner dialogue was terrific, and both Peeta and Gale had heroic characteristics. Mix humor from characters like Haymitch and Finnick to the incredible violence of the games, and you've got the makings of a New York Times best seller (i'm pretty sure it reached that already). I just hope the movies that start in 2012 won't ruin the story for everyone who doesn't read the books. I really liked these books and highly recommend them to everyone who reads.
P.S. - My only complaint is the ending to book three.
