The Hunger Games Trilogy

It only took a year but I have finally finished the Hunger Games Trilogy.  I bought the first book last November because it was on sale.  I had heard many people talk about how good it was so I decided to give it a try.  I did not know the book was about kids fighting each other to the death and almost stopped reading after a few chapters.  I did finally finish the book and although the subject matter was very distrubing, I did feel the book had merit and I could see the point of the story.
