Just because you have a Kindle doesn't mean you won't read DTB. Sometimes you can't get what you want on Kindle, sometimes the library beckons...

Hahahaha!!! Good one! I have a whole page of Bushism's and MLIA posts that I take to my students to illustrate "bad".

I like both. I feel that I use my Kindle regularly, but I still visit the library and request books that I don't feel like purchasing. I'm currently reading a DTB from the library. One of my biggest pet peeves about eBooks is the crappy editing in some of them. It bothers me when words are...

Yes you should. I'd had my cover for nearly a year with no issue til now. Trying to load the attachment, I couldn't post the pic otherwise.

:hanging head in shame: I bought the stupid cover to protect the Kindle from any random klutziness on my part. Little did I know I was doing more harm than good. :sigh: Since the cover has been off it hasn't gone with me ANYWHERE and is sitting on the coffee table FAR from any liquids or...

Well just to add to my Kindle Killing rep. I nearly killed #3 this last month. Things were humming along nicely and suddenly WHAM! My Kindle randomly reboots itself. Hmm. Odd, but not the end of the world. Well, shortly thereafter the silly thing began freezing, rebooting and otherwise being...

Read them all. PG 13 all the way.

I've only read the book, not seen the movie and I didn't read anything explicit either. I'm the topic starter, and I agree with you. I didn't see anything remotely explicit.

Canuck, the blurb I read indicated that violence was only part of the reason folks wanted to ban it. The other reasons cited included sexually explicit scenes. I'll see if I can find a link to that.

It seems irrelevant to me to compare the violence in the movie to the violence in the book, especially if you have not read the book. IMO, movie violence is more difficult for people to process because it is visual and we do not need to imagine it. You have better filters when you read because...

Have you read the books canuck?

Yep. I agree with that. I've never censored my kids reading. I would just read what they were reading and if there was something in it we needed to discuss we did so. I'm not a big fan of knee jerk reactions. I remember when Harry Potter first hit the best seller lists there was a mom who wanted...

Hahahahaha!!!

I was all psyched up to read this after the blurb. It has really let me down. I am not engaged, I've picked it up and put it down about 6 times. Going to try once more tonight and if I can't get into it, then its back to the library with this one.

sparkchaser, THANK YOU! Exactly my point. I don't see anything worse about Hunger Games violence level than in many other books that are "acceptable". I think that it does a remarkable job of tapping into the teen psyche of "rage against the machine" and reminding teens to stand up for...

I just caught a little blurb on TV that there is a movement afoot in some school libraries to ban the Hunger Games as being too violent and sexually explicit. Whaaat? Sexually explicit? Really? I must have missed that bit darn it. I have just been Googling to find any info and it doesn't...
