Tame compared to parts of the Kushiel series as well, but my opinion differs from yours a bit on the depth of character. For short, romance-novel books, it’s not bad. I’ve certainly seen and read a lot worse. It’s not a full sci-fi or fantasy or even regular novel, by any means…nor is it one of the great classics.

I agree with your assessment. The love interests were more of a sub-plot and weren’t the drivers of most of the action, IMHO.

So, glad you’re back to blogging!

I think it would totally depend on what the arena was like – if it was heavily wooded like in the first book/movie Tarzan would probably do pretty well. From the ladies, I’d pick Pocahontas to win.

I loved the Hunger Games movie too – I felt like the things that were different weren’t critical. Although, it’s been about a year since I read the books so maybe that helped too. A couple of my friends have issues with motion sickness though, so they didn’t enjoy it.

Glad to hear the reviews on Fifty Shades – I’ve been curious about it too. Same with Game of Thrones.

I absolutely agree with you. I thought the first 50 Shads book was poorly written and I had no desire to read the other two. My sister said the other two were worse.

Thanks for the tip on Game of Thrones.

Do NOT read the other 2 books in the 50′s series. They are even MORE horrible!!!! I made the mistake of buying all 3 books at once, so I was forced to read them all. But let me tell you, it’s the same plot being dragged out at how “conflicted” Grey is and how Anastasia is the only person who can “save” him. I wasted an entire weekend on this and wish I could’ve just just read something else. I’ll write a short spoiler at the end for those who wants to know what happened but don’t want to torture themselves through 2 more books.

Anyway, I love the Games of Thrones series on HBO, so I didn’t want to ruin it by reading the book (always comparing on how interpreted the scene vs. the show)just yet. However, I highly recommend The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie for anyone who likes this kind of genre. Very well written with great humor.

**SPOILER ALERT for 50 SHADES**

Basically, Anastasia was a big baby and broke up the relationship, so Christian proposed to her. All is well until drama with “Mrs. Robinson” arose and their secret was exposed to the family. Anastasia starts working and was hit on by a perverted boss, in which Christian came to her rescue and fired the boss. Then they married. Perverted boss exacted revenge by trying to kill them. In the end, they stayed happily married with 2 kids. The End.

I liked the Hunger Games movie too.

I read the first 50 Shades of Grey book and didn’t really feel compelled to read the others. The plot, characters, etc. just seemed so contrived I just found myself rolling my eyes throughout the whole book (“Laters, baby”–WHO SAYS THAT!?!). In any case, it’s a quick read so you might as well read it to say that you have. I’ll probably consider reading the other two books at some point, maybe they will be better… (I thought the first Twilight book was pretty bad, for example, but the rest of them turned out to be somewhat better)

..but I just started reading Game of Thrones so I think that will keep me occupied for awhile (HIGHLY RECOMMEND)
