Hunger Games
ChadTower:
The book is young adult reading. It is intentionally written at a middle school reading level. :dunno

Agreed. But it could have been written better anyway. JK Rowling was able to make her books compelling and interesting to readers of all ages.

Content doesn't address reading level. Her books aren't any more advanced than the Hunger Games books. They're just better stories.

The trailers for Hanna made it look like the whole thing was her fighting for her life in the woods. The actual movie, of course, was all weird and made no actual sense and seemed to involve the same 2 or 3 city blocks they kept trying to pass off as different countries.

Hanna sucked.

I doubt this. While I haven't read The Hunger Games, I think the concept of Harry Potter, an 11-year-old kid who finds out he's a wizard, is far more juvenile than the dystopian future of the Hunger Games. The Harry Potter books, while not especially literary, are pretty well written, far moreso than Dan Brown's novels or most John Grisham.
