Let us know on MFC what you think of Damned. I still haven't made up my mind how I feel about it... it was a hell of a lot better than Tell All.

I see so many people reading this book now its crazy. I read all three around this time last year when no one really knew about them. I'm willing to bet this far and away blows the first twilight films numbers out of the water as most people i know like this book far better and its more popular than twilight was when it first came out. Percy Jackson numbers? No way. Also i think Mockingjay will make a far better movie than book. The author had some trouble writing the action scenes in the

The author had some trouble writing the action scenes in the second half of it and I know Hollywood won't have trouble building on her vision.

Some thing the stories decline but I think that is because they only become more "political" as they go on. I however really enjoy both sequel and think all three books have their high points.

Obviously this and Mockingjay are going to be turned into films (unless Hunger Games does abysmal, then don't count on seeing the sequels), but sadly their source material takes a steady decline as the trilogy goes on. So, unless they change a lot from the books, Catching Fire and Mockingjay are going to be terrible movies. I have hopes for Hunger Games though, since the book is pretty good and Jennifer Lawrence is an impressive actress. Despite my reluctance, I am looking forward to this.

First off, I have to say that it was pretty cool of you Nikki not to mention the spoiler-ish synopsis...

Secondly, I have to say that i'm really not that excited for The Hunger Games. I'm not saying it's going to be bad or anything, it's just the trailer wasn't anything too special, along with the pictures... But I'm sure with the talent involved, it could very well be a solid film.

Lastly, Battle Royale look a like or not, does it really matter? I'm POSITIVE they'll be different movies

Over Hyped and will make mehh once it's released. Percy Jackson-ish numbers.

Two words to make the fanboys cry, Battle Royale. Go ahead...

A very good series

Four members of my family have read The Hunger Games now and they all loved it. My wife has already reserved Catching Fire at the local library so she'll grab it when it comes available. Not sure how Gary Ross will do as a director but Simon Beaufoy is an excellent writer. Looking forward to this.
