Report BroccoliRevenge's Profile

R.I.P

Yeah, I know. But ever since Twilight, it's always about "Twilight this and that." Like the period of BT (Before Twilight) didn't exist. So everything now sounds like it's a rip off of it even though it's just a coincidence or other book was actually written first. Anyway yeah that's enough of my rant on that. Probably doesn't even make sense.

I wasn't rooting for Peeta or Gale. BUT, I did think that at first she was more compatible with Gale. But then Peeta kept on getting shoved in our face and the game and all so I was like, "Ok, Gale isn't happening so I guess this is the one they want us to like." It's not really a surprise that I didn't like the ending. Not really. I didn't actually finish it either. I know how it ends and because of that I am extending the period of time in which I finish it. No idea why either...my mind works in mysterious ways (weird ways).


Romance sells though, so you could have bet they were going to put it in there.
As to the movie. I saw it and it was ok. It's not great or anything, not for me anyway, but that's because I feel they toned down a lot. I liked the rawness of the book. The tension and all. I could sympathize with Katniss's inner turmoil and pain, where as in the movie you just pretty much just feel like an observer. But it's unfair to put such expectations on a movie, specially a book turned movie one. It was fine though. It's not one I excited to watch again after I finished it, usually that's how I know how much I liked it.

There's a section for paranormal young adult so it's no surprise 90% is about vampires. That's what's popular now. They might as well try and sell it while it's still popular.
I don't read only supernatural because it gets boring, same reason I don't read supernatural manga.
I think I'm a bit insulted for the authors when you compare their work to Twilight. No offense to Meyer but her writing is sappy beyond belief. Not saying I don't like it, most days I want sappy, but anyway...

So I've been wanting to ask since you mentioned Hunger Games, who were you hoping Katniss ended up with? Did you like the movie?

oh hahahhaa
im srry to tell you, but i use on-hold as a marking for mangas that i want to read, but haven't been translated xD
i wanna read it too... :(

Easily--I bought it.

Thanks ^_^

I love the peace of art you have as your profile picture <3

I mostly read YA. Mostly being 6/10 sometimes 7. Yeah not all fall int he same category but since Twilight everything is being compared to it. I feel bad for the other authors always being compared to one just because it got popular...

Yeah I read The Hunger Games and they were nice :)

I think it's mostly because at 100 pages or so (which depending on the length of the book it could mean 60, so really it was just a random number) you already know the characters and their story, the main points anyway not the plot spoilers throughout the middle. So it makes it easier to just keep reading as to the getting to know them process.

Yep YA, it's actually very nicely written, I'll let you know (when I finish it) how it was.

I know that feeling. I read so many manga last year and part of me thinks it was because subconsciously I was trying to catch up to my "plan to read" list.

I am currently reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but it's been harder than I thought it would be for me to pass the 100 page mark. It works like that for me, it's not that I don't like the book but before the 100 pages I can not read it for days on end. While if I pass 100 pages I end up finishing it way faster. I get engrossed int eh story and voila.

Yeah, I am not a fan of the classic but I have started a few for the same reason you have.
I haven't been reading manga lately, sadly. I'm mostly trying to get my manga "currently reading" list down before so much time passes that I have to re-read them for them to make sense.

Eventually I'll have to re-read some anyway but it's annoying that I will have to not because I want to but because I forgot about it.

Hope you're doing good :-)

Is there one you've read recently that you enjoyed?

That's cool. I think the quote is awesome too :)

Hello.
Thanx. Though I found the book enjoyable enough :)

Hey! :) I don't know the artist's name, but I believe I found the picture on Photobucket. I'm not sure what I searched to get it; something along the lines of 'anime girl' probably, though. I remember going through a number of pages until finally finding it, so don't expect to find it right it away or anything. Sorry I couldn't be of much help!
