Three reasons.

1) I don’t want to.  I’m quite literally just not interested in the premise of the books.  A game of survival among teenagers just doesn’t sound interesting to me.

2) The last two books where I have felt this way about and was  convinced to read the books anyway were Twilight and Redeeming Love.  And I was right then.  (Oh how right I was!)

3) I have so many books I want to read, so why should I relegate those to the bottom of my to-read pile in lieu of books I don’t want to read?

I’m not saying that everyone who likes these books is an unsophisticated reader.  I’m not even saying these books are bad.  My friends know how annoyed I am that Suzanne Collins doesn’t know how to use who vs. whom, but that’s a forgivable offense.  From the time I did spend with the first book, I did get the impression that they are not exactly the most well-written books ever.  But there you have it.  Thoughts?  Want to convince me otherwise?
