    I wondered when someone would post about this - there has been quite a buzz o/s for this book. My reading list is chockers ATM but i've bought a copy of this for DH for Christmas and I'll be first to read it after him.

    Yep, I have. Am on the third book as we speak. I was the same and couldn't put them down. Very easy reading.

    I just finished reading these a few days ago. OBSESSED!!! Could not put them down. Loved the series. I found the 3rd book to be quite different to the first two and on one hand I didn't enjoy it as much, but on the other I found it's intensity and darkness so perfect.

    LOVED these books. Hanging out for the movie now!

    Fell for Peeta - what a character!

    Reading it right now - heard the buzz about it last year and bought the books for DH who also loved it.

    Can't wait to see the film too.

    Oh I watched a trailer and it has Lenny Kravitz (sp) in it as Cinna, must remember to keep my drool under control.

    Finished it yesterday, reading Catching Fire now. I'm very picky with my books and find it very difficult to like the characters (especially Twilight, blergh) but I absolutely loved this! They do have a team Edward/Jacob thing going on with Peeta & Gale, I'm so Peeta!

    I keep meaning to read them, especially with the movie so close, but I'm not sure of the order they go in! I'm guessing "The Hunger Games" is first? My local library has something like 50 people in the waiting list

    Teni, it's The Hunger Games, then Catching Fire, then Mockingjay. If you have a smartphone, or tab or Kindle or something it's seriously cheap. $7 or so from the Kindle store.

    I'm super excited. I can't wait to see Lenny playing Cinna.

    I think Donald Sutherland is perfectttttt for that role.

    Hmm... Maybe I should buy the Kindle versions (though I love curling up with real books)... I'm planning on buying a Kindle Touch soon anyway

    Thanks for telling me the order! I was going to complain that they should make it clearer in the titles, then realised - I'm a huge Harry Potter fan

    I do all my reading on the phone or tab with the Kindle app now, it's so easy. Don't need a lamp and I can easily read with one hand. Very handy when I'm up in the dark feeding DD!

    Lenny Kravitz was on Ellen the other day, he looks fantastic as Cinna. I can't imagine anyone but him in that role, and Woody Harrelson and Donald Sutherland seem so perfect for Haymitch and Snow. I think it's great reading the books and knowing what the movie characters look like, I have them in my head so I won't be disappointed when the movie comes out.
