I found myself at the library yesterday, asking the lady if they had The Hunger Games. I put the first one on hold.
You guys are too good at influencing people!

Ya, I'm a bit confused as to how this suddenly popped up. I guess it's because the movie's coming out soon. But really, there are so many other series out there that are really good and clean and stuff. I mean, the books aren't like THE BEST THING EVER CREATED or anything like that.

This. My prediction is give the ToO a couple months after the movie and it'll fade fast.
And Lee, you shouldn't bend under strong things, it's bad for your back.

Especially if you start bending over backwards.

True.
After all the hype about the books, I probably will read it and not even be impressed.
If its half as good as Angela Hunt's books I'll be happy.

Those are the immature, squealing teenagers who want to fall in love with a vampire in real life

Who also have no concept of what capable writers can actually do.

Lee, let me encourage you to proceed with caution. I know your beliefs, and the hunger games can be fairly... for lack of a better word, raunchy. Katniss and Peeta have a fairly... sexual relationship.

I must've missed the part where Katniss and Peeta had a sexual relationship...
However, I agree with Mark that the books should be read with caution.
The Hunger Games train will not stop until the end of March.
At that point, it will either implode or explode further.

knowing how good the books are, and that there are 3 more movies after the first on the way, I suspect it will explode further.
