I had to buy the third book in hard copy, and I wanted to wear sunglasses and a trench coat to the juvenile fiction section. But I guess I don't care... I love those books.

I bought all three at once, figured if they were so popular I would love them.. Honestly, it took me a lot to get into the first book. It was so hard I even asked the wife if I should just return them! Glad I stuck it through because I liked them. I don't love them per say, but they are a good read. I am not fond of the movie, not sure why, I think I built up District 9 as more glamorous in my mind, and did not imagine the other districts looking so.. old-fashioned?
Either way, glad you are enjoying it. Our 9 year old has finished the Harry Potter series I believe, and is now reading The Hunger Games.
