I try not to overanalyze the series because it's really not meant for that and there are high points, like you mentioned. I enjoyed the legends of both creatures quite a bit, too. <br />I'm glad you mentioned the whole motherhood thing, because I totally agree. I don't know that it's a series best read with our brains completely turned off, but it certainly isn't a series I can defend fervently after analyzing. I love your honesty! Thanks for stopping by one of my reviews and sharing this one!<br />Megan @ Love, Literature, Art, and ReasonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568091621276786810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-12700849050376317642010-02-03T11:48:06.403-05:002010-02-03T11:48:06.403-05:00Toni, I couldn't bear spending too much time r...Toni, I couldn't bear spending too much time reviewing each and every one.

I sha...Ooooh I loved that you reviewed the series!<br /><br />I share your sentiments. I treated the series as popcorn reading. I loved Eclipse, really. In the popcorn movie kind of way.<br /><br />And Twilight is so polarizing! Either you like it or you don't. Sadly those who don't like it get a lot of backlash. As you said, to each his own, but the younger readers who are too in love with the series don't know that.

I'll definitely look it up. <br /><br /><br />Lightheaded, thanks for the reco. Battle Royale as the inspiration for Hunger Games? Hmmm, will look that up, never heard of Takami before.testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450478529066242687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-35749784841473967562010-01-31T23:27:47.074-05:002010-01-31T23:27:47.074-05:00I second Blooey on the The Hunger Games recommenda...I second Blooey on the The Hunger Games recommendation (plus the sequel Catching Fire). The third book of that trilogy will come out this year.<br /><br />Then again, I liked Battle Royale better (by Koushun Takami). It's where Suzanne Collins lifted the Hunger Games scenario and made it Americanized, I think.Lightheadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438507601416513826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-69155188814760557982010-01-31T22:10:06.345-05:002010-01-31T22:10:06.345-05:00Hear, hear on your sentiments about Twilight.

I read the whole series in one weekend (with me gagging every couple pages or so) for an article I was writing and I felt the burning need for intelligent reading immediately after.<br /><br />Have you read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? Now that is a great series!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
