Hi Amber, I wasn't sure whether I should chime in on this because although I intend to, I haven't read Inkheart yet. I have, however, read the entire Hunger Games series before the hype really began with the movies, etc. These books are phenomenal! The movie was really good but O-M-G if you don't read the books you will lose SOOO much of the story!! It's told in the first person by Katniss (well duh, of course!) and there is just a crazy amount of her thought process, the history of the Districts & the Games that we all know is just impossible to capture in a 2hour movie.I'm sure Inkheart is wonderful, I can only say that THG series is a gut-wrenching experience!
hope this helps....
I've read the Inkheart series and I can say that I loved Inkheart. I also watched the movie, but the trilogy is much better, since they left out numerous parts in the movie. It's told in the third person, and revolves around a girl (Meggie) and her father (Mo) who is a bookbinder. To shorten a long story, the book is brilliant. I started reading the Hunger Games, but didn't finish it. TBH, it didn't interest me much, because I thought the narration was a bit too childish (in my mind), but I can see the hype.
To end the discussion, look at both of the series' summary, and see which one interests you more. To give my opinion, Inkheart is better.

I have read both trilogies and the Inkheart series was just annoying. It took me ages to finish Inkdeath and I really couldn't stand the behaviour of some characters anymore. In my opinion this trilogy is much closer to childish and the The Hunger Games never was. It describes a future that might be possible and the characters and plot are outstanding.The Inkheart movie was worse than any other book that was mad into a film. Just boring.
I've read both series. I read the inkheart series before the hunger games came out although I read Inkspell first as a friend bought it for my birthday. Personally I prefer the hunger games. Katniss is so strong and mature. The world is more adult than in Inkheart. That said, I did enjoy the Inkheart series. I love books and I fell in love with the idea of bringing them to life. If I were you I'd read the hunger games first because you wont be able to put them down and will be dying to know how it ends.
