The Hunger Games was so hyped that I was sure I'd hate it. It ended up being one of the very few books I have ever read that the huge hype ended up being nothing compared to the magnificence of the series. This is perhaps the very best dystopian trilogy ever written. With The Hunger Games movie coming out next year, I can't wait for all of the non-readers to experience the awesomeness I already know.
