UPDATE: Okay you all have officially convinced me to give the first book a try!! Despite my incoherent rambling and being unable to pinpoint my exact issues with the movies, you guys nailed it! The characters are very important to me. Based of these comments I might actually really enjoy the books!
Hello, so I feel a bit torn. I like the basics of hunger games. I like seeing hunger games book specific content, and think it sounds interesting and it makes me want to read it, but I absolutely hated the movies. The movies were slow, and I feel the story wasn't at all well explored or explained. The characters didn't stand out especially except katniss and peeta ofc. I feel like the books get so much love, but I wanna know if it's worth trying.
Now my question, is the book better than the movies and if so what's the biggest differences you see? I want to like hunger games so bad, but if the books are true to the movie then I don't know 😅 I love reading and technically these books are right up my alley, but the movies threw me off. So yeah- any opinions at all are helpful! Minor spoilers is not big deal for me either.

Reading this with my 9th graders, and it amazes me every year how much history is lost or not talked about with each generation.
