What is your approach to series?

[Farseer]

I have been considering Hunger Games but the trilogy package is more money than individual books (on Kindle at least). Money/discounts are not always a consideration but a strike against HG is the post-apocalyptic theme which I do not like. I am interested in the book because it is supposed to be a great story though. In that case I may read the first then decide whether I will continue the series.

My husband has only become a 'reader' fairly recently and enjoyed reading THG very much. My second eldest son (nineteen this year) enjoyed them also. I am yet to read them myself but they are waiting for me for a time I feel is 'right'. Odd but true.

I will not likely read the books of Ice and Fire that follow Storm of Swords even if the final book is great.

You may like to head over to the ASoIaF thread and chat about your reasons *why* you'll likely not read beyond ASoS, o0Ampy0o? As someone who has a troubled relationship with the series, I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on it....especially as you noted in the other thread that you felt that Martin is "one of the best character writers".

I'll hopefully be back somewhat soonish to answer a question that you have for me in another thread.
