Why did I wait so long: The Hunger Games

[Deleted]

Why did I wait so long to read it?

I generally steer clear of books that have a lot of hype because I end up disappointed.  I was lacking in books the other day and saw this on the Prime lending library so I thought I would give it a try.  I love it!  I absolutely can not put it down.

It is making me rethink on stance on Harry Potter, Twilight, and 50 Shades of Gray ( well maybe not Twilight and 50 Shades )

Phew! Yeah, stay away from the last two.

The Hunger Games are great. Fun, captivating read.

Harry Potter is in a different (much much better) class.

If you try to read Twilight, you will end up wondering WTF you were thinking when you realize how rapidly the writing goes downhill. I didn't bother to try 50 Shades.

The Hunger Games was a really great series, although I didn't care much for the third book, Mockingjay.

Harry Potter is  (heart) (heart) just incredibly amazing and wonderful and stands out above any other book or series I've ever read, even when I was branching into classics and other great writings.

I couldn't get through even  half of Twilight. I refuse to read 50 shades.

I loved The Hunger Games so much. The third book seemed rushed and not nearly as good but overall the series is a great read.
