[…] There is a lot to be said about the Young Adult (YA) genre of literary fiction these days. The rise of the Harry Potter and Twilight series proved that pre-teens and teenagers still love the written word. So what happens when another YA fiction comes on the scene and gathers the same obsessive and loving attitude as the other well-known series? Why, you make a movie of course! So how did Hollywood do in creating a screenplay for a YA book series that has been known to be the antithesis to Twilight? […]

Wow. I was barely able to put “Hunger Games” down for a second after the first few pages got me completely hooked. Normally it takes a week to read a book, but now I read this in 24 hours. Suzanne Collins here has an immediacy to it that, when combined with the very dramatic life-or-death plot, is incredibly compelling. It’s entertaining, and incredibly disturbing all at once. They say great art leaves you changed after you experience it… and this book definitely did that. Suzanne Collins has, with one amazing work, propelled herself onto my top shelf.

Have a nice day,
Molly

Unfortunately, Katniss is being played by Jennifer Lawrence - a great actress, don't get me wrong, but also a very white one. http://gaychristiangeek.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-white-white-white-white-world.html

The trilogy went in a conpletely dog direction than I thought and while I lived the first book, the sequels were just not as good or as satisfying. The amount of action that happens offpage in the second only to be dumped on you in two pages of exposition right at the end was pretty unforgivable as was what I dent to be stunted character development and disconnectness of the characters in the third.

Could spend all day talking about them though but don’t want to spoil anyone!

I read the first two chapters online and now I want to read the whole damn thing. The only problem is I don’t have any room for any more books. I wanted to buy a Kindle but I have no money. Woe is me, and my first world problems.
