what does /lit/ think of this book?

>> No.2629351

This book was fucking stupid. There is no tension and no conflict at all. I mean, you guys are fighting to the fucking death! Collins could have made it more intense and could have put in some awesome character rivalry. Katniss had no depth and just went around going all, "Oh look at me, I can survive in the wilderness!" I got sick of seeing the words "groosling" and "bow" and "arrow" all the time. Overall, this book is boring and sucks. Teenage girls have awful taste.

what about the faked romance between katniss and peeta? I thought that was one of the most important aspects of the book.

>> No.2629362

Kinda off topic, but why are the names in the book so fucking weird?

>> No.2629373

That's because I am Beavis.

While it was an important aspect, it annoyed the shit out of me. You know what, my opinion probably wouldn't mean anything since the whole fucking book annoyed the shit out of me. Collins's style of writing is downright horrible and boring.

If that was true the book wouldn't read like such prosaic garbage. Instead the book would be a weird mix of Kerouac's prose and Burroughs' experimentation, but it is neither of those.

I read it once, didn't pay attention to which edition. But Karl was fired up- I think he does have the right idea, but people will never stop looking out for themselves. Best thing, I reckon, is a society like Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Set in the future. Language evolves. So it's not uncommon for people to name their kids differently.

The most normal names in the whole trilogy were Mitchell and Jackson.
