  2. Honestly I didn't think I would ever pick it up... until I saw the movie trailer. The movie looks good and being one that likes to read the book prior to seeing the movie, I decided to start the trilogy.

  11. I loved The Hunger Games! I loved book 2, but ultimately was disappointed in the final installment. :( But I'm all about The Hunger Games and can't wait to see the movie!
