6. The first one was disturbing beyond words...

It took me over a week to read it. It didn't get much better, but I read the other two in a day. I'm obsessed with this story at this point and I cannot wait for the first movie to open in March.
Woody Harrelson is playing Haymitch, which is pretty genius when you think about it. Donald Sutherland will be President Snow.
I highly recommend reading for everyone, but if your kids are reading them, please be sure to speak to them about it because I am 32 and I had some serious troubles with it, I cannot image being the age it's gear for and reading them. I cried and cried and was terrified through most of it.
