Anyone else on here a massive fan of the series?

To be honest i'd never heard of it, till i saw the trailer which was impressive, so today i went and got the books boxset. I'm hoping there good.

currently reading through the second of these, been enjoying them so far. not seen the film yet. is it any good or another terrible book to film convert?

It's actually a very good film both as an adaptation of the book and in its own right. I'd finish all the books first then watch the film, but I liked the film and the books and have heard similar opinions from others as well.

how do the books hold up compared to the movie?

I've seen the film and subsequently bought the books

I like the books, and I think if you enjoy the film you'll like the books which can go into more detail and has a bit more gruesome parts in it (although not as many as people sometimes make out.)

I think the first book is probably the best one, but the others are still good.

The books are better than the film tbh.

Cool I'll start reading them next, thanks guys

watched the film the other day: not bad at all. Good action, decent characters and some really emotional moments

Spoiler:

the scene of Rue's death and Katnyss's subsequent salute to District 11 really got to me

tempted to buy and read the books now...

I have not seen the film yet, but I must be honest I was pretty suprised how addictive the books were, I am not a very dedicated reader, and tend only to read at tea break at work, but I actually ended up reading the book at home too.

I want to see the film, but I am a bit worried it won't live up to the books.

Yet I have not seen this film, but I have heard about the hunger game forum.

Am on the third book, read the first two in a little over three days. So good, really can't wait to read how it all ends
