Read the books. Don't have any fear of them being like Twilight. I'm a 30 year old man and my wife is a Twi-hard. I fucking despise Twilght and I've seen all of them so far. The thought of taking my wife to the next movie in the series makes me want to run out and punch the first person I see using too much hair gel in the face!
I let my wife talk me into reading the Hunger Games books once she assured me that they're not like Twilight. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and read all 3 books. They're very very good, and this is coming fom a 30 year old male who usually prefers darker, more mature themed books like 1984 and Game of Thrones.
I highly recommend reading them. They're extremely dark, and graphic conidering the targt demographic, and the setting and story are just awesome.
Think of The Hunger Games as a cross between Lord of The Flies and The Running Man set in a post-apocalyptic future where political corruption and oppression is the norm.
That's my 2 cents anyway.
