I loved hunger games!! I read it before the movies came out (I know I know bragging). But seriously I thought it was very exciting, pretty original, drama handled well, and creative. I liked the movies as well — they tell a slightly different story but a lot of the best parts of the books came through.

But as you said they aren’t the deepest series, so I think there is less to talk about it than some other books. And it’s hard to recommend a book after the big box movie has already come out, because people have seen that and usually don’t want to read the book when they already know what will happen!
