The Hunger Games

[certainthings]

Because everyone, their uncle, and their uncle's mail delivery person's spouse has read The Hunger Games, I thought that I would too.

I'm just a few chapters into the story and it's good but so far it remind me of a more elaborate and perhaps more extreme and obviously longer version of The Lottery

I remember reading that in University..

I rather enjoyed the Hunger Games.

I enjoyed the series (though not the last book quite as much) but I totally thought The Lottery, too. I've also heard Battle Royale but as I'm not familiar I can't confirm.

It reminded me of The Lottery too THG frequently gets read over here, probably second to Harry Potter. I'm not too keen on book 3 but book 2 of THG is on par with book 1. (Says the girl who read all 3 in 2 days). Also THG reminded me of Survivor at points.

I've never read it.

I very much enjoyed The Hunger Games trilogy. So much badassness.

Ohmygod The Lottery. The film version of that traumatized me in the eighth grade and I will never forget it. And yep, I was totally reminded of it too.

My friend just loaned me her copies of the books. She raved about them, so I decided to give them a try.
