How do you feel about letting kids read The Hunger Games trilogy?

My 11 year old wants to read it and I’m considering it. I’m happy that she’s actually excited about a book series, but I don’t know how she’ll handle the drama of it. Personally, I got very involved in the story, and it took me a few days to crawl out of it when I was finished. It is a pretty dark, intense story.

Your thoughts?
