I hate when the cover art doesn't match the characters. Ugh.
I really need to get started on the Hunger Games (though will probably wait until comps are over). I only own the first book though, and the hold list on the other two at the library is sitting at around 70.

Hah, I think you'd definitely enjoy the series, especially next to your normal fiction choices. Give it a try!
