Ooo, will do! I didn't know she had any short stories and I generally like her writing.Suzanne wrote:Another short story with the same feel as "The Lottery" is "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas", Ursula K. le Guin. We read it here on BT. Check out short story forum and you will find a link to the story.

Re: The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
I really liked all of the hungergames-books. Real pageturners for sure, even though some parts in the third book were a bit boring.
Re: The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
Haven't read the third Hunger Games yet, but my daughter keeps trying to shove it under my nose...so I'm sure I will soon.
Shirley Jackson has loads of short stories btw

Re: The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
Good thing to read when you want to relax. When i did essay writing in literature i mentioned it, of course, it is not Harry Potter, but at least it is pleasant to read it and the plot is interesting.

Re: The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
I have a love hate relationship with Hunger Games (As I do with The Inheritance Cycle and Harry Potter) and it is because of the ending. I was fully gripped to all three series the entire time only to be let down by the endings (I actually threw the fourth Inheritance Cycle book, all 850 summin pages straight at a wall) I'm sure since this discussion was started so long ago most have read it now but I will put the rest under this:
SPOILERS
I feel Katniss just gave up. The whole story ended sappy and she was pretty much going "well I can't have the guy I want and you want me so I guess we can get married" It actually says that Peeta convinced her to have kids. I mean really? I get it, she was scared to bring children into that kind of world and he helped her overcome that fear but it was forced. The whole ending seemed rushed and didn't go along with the rest of the writing (Don't get me started on Harry Potter and how the writing style was 100% different)
