The books were incredibly bad/lazily written. Especially the 3rd. Author essentially hit the jackpot with a neat premise for the first one that hooked a shite load of teens into two more poorly written books.

I actually thought the first movie did a better job of developing some very one dimensional characters than the book did.

FIFY

Battle Royale is on Netflix if you can manage a movie with subtitles or know Japanese. It's better.

I agree with that. I have read all three books and saw the movie. The one thing I didn't like was that certain things that were explained in detail the books - tesserae, tracker jackers - were just somewhat skimmed over in the movie. But I did like how they expanded the use of the TV broadcast to explain some things, since the books are all told from Katniss's perspective.
