A Book Series I Hate and Love

The Hunger Games books were the worst good books I've ever read. It was such torture reading them and having to know what happens. While there was so much violence I love Katniss Everdeen's bravery. Whenever people asked me about the series after I read them, I would always say "don't read them, they are awful. But you have to read them because I want to talk about them." They are definitely books I wouldn't recommend to my children. When I was a reading aide, I was surprised to see how many really young elementary students checked these books out. Of course, that is for their parents to monitor.

I want to go see this movie with my husband sometime soon. People may think I'm twisted because I want to watch these movies about children killing each other. The thing is, that's obviously not why I watch these movies. I watch them because they represent the kind of courage and bravery I admire.
