I hated the series. The characters were flat, underdeveloped, and extremely one dimensional. It's a slightly less bad Twilight. You have the main character, an unattractive girl who is unpopular and angsty. She's someone every self absorbed teenage girl can relate to. Then she has two very attractive, ridiculously out of her league guys pursuing her. That's the dream of unpopular, unattractive teenage girl. If you like your guys effeminate and weak, then you can be "Team Peeta", or, if you like your guys brutish and overprotective, you can be "Team Gale".
Everyone devotes all their attention to the main character and all her mistakes are eventually forgiven. She can use the excuse of what she went to in order to push away everyone who might make a positive impact on her life. She's immature, rude, and just plain mean. She's every teenage girl.
The only "pretty girl" in the book, Glimmer, is, of course, characterized as the popular mean girl who the target audience already hates. She's given no development and her brutal end is just a little victory moment for the unpopular teenage girls. President Snow is the controlling authority figure which everyone hates, Peeta is the boy everyone has a hopeless, unfulfilled crush on, and the stylist is basically the "cool mentor" who will put up with all your bullsht and indulge your whining.
The only characters who received any significant development at all, Katniss and Peeta, are just stock representations. Peeta, the guy who gets the girl in the end, has a borderline obsessive fix on Katniss. It actually left me feeling very creeped out by the end of the first book and was just sickening by the time the second ended. Katniss never changed. She just stayed the bitter, selfish, leech on society she always was. The only characters I could say I liked (Rue, Glimmer, Johanna, and Boggs) were all one dimensional and, although they could have had fantastic potential, remained half baked ways of relating to the target audience.
So, in the end, this series undeserved popularity comes from the fact that any teenage girl can put themselves in Katniss' shoes then use her story as an excuse for their own immature behavior. Next to that, the love triangle is every unpopular teen and pre-teens dream. What acne faced girl wouldn't want two hot guys lusting after her in a slightly stalkerish way? This is exactly why Twilight was so popular.
These books follow the sickening "formula for success" which most popular books do these days. Hash out a formulaic storyline, throw in some horrible writing, and tweak the setting just enough to be called "unique", and you've got yourself a best seller. It's sad, really...

From my point of view, this post was an absolute waste of time, space, energy, effort, brainpower, and strength. I think in my attempt to read your enourmous wordwall, I may have blacked out. I still am trying to read the first few lines, and every time I do, I repeat fainting because of how boring, dull, and unorganized you have sorted these words in which you have typed upon your computer. You have wasted so much time of your life typing that giant mass of words, you could've went outside and played with a ball, so that you could maybe get some actual physical exercise, but instead you decided to mindlessely type up a wordwall with no clear point to it. You could've at least made a paragraph indentation for each couple thousand lines, so that we could take a break from reading it and get back to our lives, only to read the same, boring, massive storm of words that you shoved down our throats, and stuffed into our brains. Maybe if you had considered this before, you would have never poisoned the thousands of brains of readers, and you would've never caused so much trauma. I have never seen such a stupid wall of words in my entire life, because maybe instead of committing this horrible crime you could've done something valuable with your life. Because of you, many people are sick, lying in bed with a terrible headache because of all of these words floating on the page in one, gigantic bubble of boring.

Snow was the best character. But yea, all of your points are highly valid. Not a word wall either.

I very well respect your opinion, but the love triangle didn't catch me that well.

I disagree and agree with ya.

1.Twilight is WAY worse than the Hunger Games Series
2.Mockingjay sucked, I wish Katniss had died. Seriously, her mind was getting a bit psychotic towards the end.

Other than that, I though the Hunger Games was a good series.

I myself only read the first book, but that was enough. There was literally nothing I liked about it. Especially the games that followed that movie. (Minecraft adventure maps, roblox games, ect.)
