With the new Hunger Games movie out, I realized I only ever watched the movies and that was 10 years or so ago. So I decided to give the first book a try and it was... nice. I don't quite understand why it became such a success, though. The book was fine and I remember the movie being fine as well. Might need to re-watch it too. But this global success? Ah, well. If you haven't read the book and feel even slightly curious, give it a go. It's a quick and easy read and it's fine overall.
