Is the series still good? I've heard there are a couple of amazing books in it, but also a few real stinkers (Naked Empire comes to mind).Mia: Don't you hate that?

I just finished reading a really good book called Seven Tears into the Sea, by Terri Farley.
Cover description:
Beckon the sea,
I'll come to thee...
Shed seven tears,
Perchance seven years...
At the age of ten, Gwennie Cooke had a strange encounter with a boy with dark, slightly tilted eyes. He came to her on the beach, whispered strange words in her ear, and then disappeared. Shortly thereafter, her family moved away from their seaside home and Gwen never saw the boy again.
Now seventeen, Gwen is returning to her childhood home. Her nana asked her to come. But Gwen knows it's time to go back for another reason: She yearns for the sea. perhaps the sea itself is calling to her. Perhaps the memory of the boy and his haunting words are drawing her back to the place they met. Perhaps it's time for her to face her destiny.
Personally, I found it a refreshing alternative to that Twilight nonsense. A similar kind of fantasy romance except with (a) an interesting female protagonist who is not annoyingly whiny, (b) a mysterious love interest who is very odd and kind of overprotective but does not come off as stalkerish, (c) a good amount of depth to the OMG!PLOT!, and (d) a surprisingly great attention to symbolic detail.
Plus, it's about half the length of any of *those* books and far more engaging."YOU'RE EASIER THAN THE U.S. CONGRESS."~Nikola

I've got 502837582094735290745 left on my to-read list. Give or take.
Recently reading about Lovecraft's Cthulhu.
Ok, I'm curious. What are some of the grossest, disgusting, horrific, and/or terrifying moments you guys have read? Please put it in spoilers and what you're describing before hand so as not to ruin it for some peoples.
The Road - disgusting/gross, this one is really disgusting to me
Spoiler:The two protagonists are lying on the ditch next to the road hiding. They see a group of people go by filled with men with guns and a bunch of pregnant women. But they see that there are no children. It implies that the women are impregnated so they could give birth so they can eat the babies.
Hunger Games- disgust/gross/horrifying
Spoiler:They take a bunch of children between I think 12-16 to go fight in gladitorial style games but on a wider playing field. The kids go about killing each other until only one survivor is left. I wouldn't recommend this book though because it's a pretty unbelievable premise, but slightly believable by the desensitization and gross things people are entertained by these days. Somewhat believable that people would eventually find this kind of thing entertaining perhaps in the future.
