Am I Missing Something?

Can somebody please tell me what this crazy obsession with The Hunger Games is about?



         Personally, I was turned off completely when I read the first few pages. I felt as if I was somehow too old to be reading the material. The writing style was geared more towards adolescents or young adults than towards the college educated, especially an English major. My boyfriend, along with my mother, has read the books and love them. Sadly, they are not the only ones with this opinion.

I must be missing something. The ideas, the characters, the plot, everything about the books felt juvenile.



 .Will someone please tell me what I am missing here? Is there anything enticing about this trilogy? I am pretty hard-headed, so I DARE YOU to try to change my mind about The Hunger Games.

Please, feel free to use the comment section to change my mind, argue, debate, anything! Let's talk about BOOKS!
