…I’ll be doing two books reviews here in the next few days, as well as uploading a new interview with a NYT bestselling author (yes, you can probably who I coerced into doing an interview… that poor bastard).
I’ll be reviewing “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins, and “Under the Dome” by Stephen King. Guess which one I liked? Guess which one made me retch? Guess who did the amazing characters and believable plot? Guess who made me think that society is a lot like living in an ant colony and God has a mgnifying glass and is slowly, one by one, torching us as we struggle to simply survive?
*sigh*
Yeah, King’s effin’ depressing sometimes…
I reviewed “The Hunger Games” on Amazon.com, and I think I gave it a four-star rating. This doesn’t mean I enjoyed the book — it’s dystopic and some of it really annoyed me — but I thought it was a successful dystopia that worked within its limits.
Stephen King — my sister’s a huge fan. I liked “The Green Mile” and “The Shining” and while I thought “Misery” was well written (and that all three of those films reflected their respective books well), it was extremely uncomfortable. (Of course, that was the _point_, right?)
