I added Battle Royale to my Goodreads TBR list so I remember. Right now I'm reading my friends manuscript for her sequel The Mercenary. So good! About shifters in New Zealand.

Hope you enjoy it!<br /><br />Btw, I'm a new follower. I was trying to follow you yesterday and couldn't find your follow button.

That's not to say the movie wasn't good because it was. As far as adaptations go it was really good in that sense. Except of course those handful of things that were changed and needed to not be changed.Ashley Nemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303841504912648250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290141112410678475.post-55625966699669546582013-04-21T07:39:22.822-05:002013-04-21T07:39:22.822-05:00Thanks for the follow - honestly I was so hesitant...Thanks for the follow - honestly I was so hesitant before picking up this book but the author in me HAD to know what the buzz was about...

Have you read Battle Royale? Battle Royale is more gory compared to the Hunger Games and it's incredibly scary to think that something like that could happen.<br /><br /><a href="http://vonniesreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2013/04/book-blogger-hop-april-19th-25th.html" rel="nofollow">My answer</a>Vonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987861951233408815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290141112410678475.post-11009540660990130502013-04-20T09:54:49.790-05:002013-04-20T09:54:49.790-05:00I haven't read the Hunger Games yet.

Everything you've expressed here is very much a concern for future society. I like that you compared this book to other dystopian reads like "1984" and "Animal Farm". I haven't read the first one, but I have read the second one. <br /><br />Dystopian fiction is not only chilling to read at times, but also serves as a warning to our descendants. <br /><br />Your reasons for feeling moved by "The Hunger Games" are the very same reasons I refuse to read the book, or any other in the series.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your well-written post!! I'm now following you. :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290141112410678475.post-30034355356176628652013-04-19T16:11:55.978-05:002013-04-19T16:11:55.978-05:00I liked the book more than the movie - I thought t...I liked the book more than the movie - I thought the movie changed some things that some might find as subtle and not important but as an author I found them VERY important and it irritated me.
