Hey, the Hunger Games are actually really good. I derided it for years until one time I was in the hospital for a few weeks, I got immensely bored and decided to try it out. I was hooked.

The main issue is that pretty much everyone who wants to read it has already.

It's young adult focused which means there a new crop of readers every year.

Also, even if it had run out of readers, how is it the story's fault? That's what happens to most long-running series. Not every story has to be among the legends to be considered good.

I'm not judging. I read them and enjoyed them. I'm just observing that they sold so many that they are very common.

Ah, then clearly I misinterpreted your comment. Apologies, I thought you were saying that it can be considered low-quality in the same vein as the Twilight series books.
