I'm writing to agree with you. And the story that Hunger Games reminds me of the most is The Long Walk by Stephen King (but I haven't read Battle Royale). Basically Hunger Games = Extremely Derivative.
I read the first book and thought it was okay. I didn't bother with the other two because the I just didn't find the first one compelling enough to continue.
Of course, I've never been able to get into Harry Potter either so I feel like an alien sometimes with my total "meh" to some really popular series.
