The whole series is wonderful. My son Alex finished all three books within a week. He liked them so much that I read them- and I finished them all in a long weekend because I couldn't put them down.

I loved them!!! The first time I read them, I didn't like them because they were so dark and morbid. But every time I read them, I love them more. Finally, a protagonist who isn't whiny and needy ::cough bella cough::

LOVE it. I've read the entire trilogy at least twice now. I am a huge fan of children's/young adult lit, and The Hunger Games is incredibly well written, timely, and compelling. The movie version should be out next year, too! Looking forward to it.
Another amazing young adult trilogy is The Golden Compass. It rocks. *The film version is a pretty pathetic attempt to capture the book, though, so I can't recommend that at all.

The Hunger Games movie is coming out in March! Just a couple months. =) That's actually what prompted me to read the books. I hate seeing a movie and then reading the book because things never match up completely. The book is pretty much always better, so seeing a crappier version of it first ruins the plot for me.

Read them, loved them, not sure about the movie because they rarely do the books justice.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I've been on such a reading kick since I got my Kindle Fire for Christmas - something like 10 books in the past 2 weeks. lol I've read through the few books left that I hadn't read by my favorite author (J.D. Robb's In Death series - really, Nora Roberts). I also read a few Jodi Picoult books (I love her!), and a couple free/cheap books. I'm gonna run out of ideas sooner or later, so keep them coming my way!

Love the Hunger Games! Like you I wanted to read them before the film came out and I finished them about a month ago. I enjoyed books 1 and 2 more than 3.

I couldn't get through the third Uglies book 
I thought the first 2 were pretty good, though.
You would also like the Mortal Instrument series. I thought they weren't bad but not great either, although everyone else thinks they are fantastic. So I would recommend them. I only read three of those, too but couldn't go onto the fourth.
