I was lukewarm about this book since, like Molly said, I heard unfavorable comparisons to the Hunger Games. But I like characterization and I <b>love</b> horror.

I'm still super curious. I rather like the brutal dystopians, if they make sense. Better than the ones that never kill off any important characters.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-14163882347322441622013-02-21T05:24:07.576+01:002013-02-21T05:24:07.576+01:00Brutal is right, but I still enjoyed it.Brutal is right, but I still enjoyed it.Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-10898042213612528432013-02-20T21:10:38.847+01:002013-02-20T21:10:38.847+01:00I did see the similarities to Hunger Games too, bu...I did see the similarities to Hunger Games too, but I think there being fewer characters makes it different like you said. And yikes, it was brutal. I found myself liking it in spite of myself.

Great to know it's for fans of action and horror! molly wettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517508442535238088noreply@blogger.com
