Mike D said he read every book in this series and loved them all, he found the movies were visually connected to the books, but he felt the books were better than the movies.

"

But the one book series that I read every single book devoured and loved all the movies was The Hunger Games.

I do feel like they were really great visually like connected with the book.

And that was the only time I've ever said that the book was better than the movie. Because there's just so much more in that world when you read those books than what happened in the movie, especially because in the first one, they didn't have the budget, I feel, to make that movie the best they could have.

Later, they got a little bit more money and they were able to look a little bit better. But I just felt there was so much more in that first book that I was like, oh man, it did really live up to my expectations.
