Interesting opinion but unfortunately when you're comparing a book and a movie based on a book, one of them is going to be less good. That's my experience and usually the book is better.

In this case I've seen the trilogy but have never read the books. The trilogy had good parts and bad parts. For me Jennifer Lawrence was irritating, I can't get used to her. Peetah should have been played by someone else, I agree. I liked Liam Hemsworth on the other hand.

I don't know if I'm going to read the book but it would be interesting.

I usually delay watching the movie right after reading the book or vice versa because I know I'm going to live one of them less.
