Even if she did read Battle Royale, they're both takes on Theseus

and the Minotaur, anyway (or any of who knows how many other old stories and traditions).

Second book was bad and it went downhill from there

Not surprising since she ripped off the source material for 1st book & series

I guess I’m the weird one here. Yes the 1st book was easily the best, but I

I thought book three was an awful & uncreative ending to a lot of good potential

I didn't love how it ended, but I still enjoyed the book overall.

Sounds like a bestseller at the USU bookstore.

Easy to say you wouldn’t do what she’s doing in her shoes, but for me I’m not

Not sure what "most talented" means.

I’m trying to figure out why you are attacking the author of one of the most successful series in the last 50 years.

It's a terrible series

Gustav

One reason would be she plagiarized it.

YSMACK

Jun 6, 8:29am

You’ll have to inform me. I’ve never heard of that she was accused of that.

Not actually plagiarism, but she pretty clearly borrowed major ideas

Sure, but the similarities btn BR and Collins are much more specific.

Still a better series than Twilight

She missed an opportunity to really explore the world and emotion deeply in Book 2 when Katniss was supposed to go and

Book 2 and 3 were definitely worse but I actually enjoyed the prequel

Robert Jordan already wrote that book.

Will they make a movie about this cash cow?

You can count on it. It's probably already in pre-production.

Everyone of us would do the same thing if given the opportunity.

False. I have a series of books I've written that made me quite a bit of money.

That's pretty cool about your books

I only read the first book in the series and I thought it was really dumb.
