When I read the Hunger Games I didn't think it was a girl book but later I found out that I was told that it was a young adult book and now I'm seeing all of the screaming idiot teenage girls on TV and I'm wondering what I got myself into.

LOL. The book was kind of meh to me, but good enough to keep reading. I happened to be reading it when I went into the hospital for a minor surgery and 3 different female nurses noticed and gushed about how much they loved the book. After surgery, I had some physical therapy and two of the female therapists also gushed about the book. Those were my first hints that women seemed to be getting more out of the book than I was.
