The Hunger Games Trilogy

I have been reading these books NONSTOP for the last two and half days.  It was very difficult to convince myself to sleep.  I don't know if you have read them, I really hadn't even heard of them until all the hype about the movie began, but I loved them.  They are very violent, but I adored the story.  Have you read them?  Did you like them?  

Now I just can't wait for the movie!!!
