Yeah, I was really surprised at the general dislike for first person narratives on the internet as well. I've never stopped to think about which I prefer - although as someone said above, with regard to the Hunger Games, it does have its drawbacks. It probably really depends on the author and the way they use it. I've seen not liking narrators killing my enjoyment when I feel like the author has intended me to like the narrator and I don't or can't. I agree though that often characters, even main characters aren't meant to be liked, and that works differently.
