The Hunger Games!

Holy crap, I started the first Hunger Games book yesterday and I'm already 300 pages into the second. This is the first time since Abarat that I've fallen in love with a fantasy book. OT have you read them? They're not very sophisticated or anything but they're just a great read. Check them out if you haven't already and if you have what are your thoughts?

what are they about?

I was forced to read the first book in high school for an individual project. I wasn't really riveted by it. Maybe it's because I was forced to read it, and I knew I could take advantage of the teacher and only read some of the book to do the project. I read a little less than a half and still got an A.
