Ok am I the only person that found the Hunger Games deeply disturbing?? With all the popularity of the book I thought...well I guess I'll give it a try.....don't think I'll be reading the other two though. Actually read is an incorrect word....I skimmed it cause I couldn't even read it all but unfortunately the morbidity of it peeked my carnal curiosity.
I mean even though there may be some interesting dialogue and interactions between characters does not erase the fact that the premise of the book is teenagers killing teenagers!! I'm sorry I don't care how interesting the characters are and other things, I can't get past the fact that basically the story emerges from this heinous ritual of teen slaughter??

I've never read hunger games, but everyone tells me that it's a must read. I think I'll have to do a double check on the content before delving into it. I don't think you're overreacting if the premise of the book is teenage homicide.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest dayghter (18) has read them. Said they were good but very odd!!
ReplyDeleteI have read all three and while I liked them, yes, they are quite odd. I totally see your point. The premise turned me off for a long time but I gave in after hearing so much about them.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm reading book 3 now. Yes, strange, morbid, odd, but I can't stop reading them.
