Honestly, I think the first book had a decent ending for a dystopia, like an open-ended one, so you could always pretend it ended there. I don't think it really needed sequels.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-76027840783821585472013-02-04T09:21:26.632-05:002013-02-04T09:21:26.632-05:00Some people have liked the second book, so maybe y...Some people have liked the second book, so maybe you will too?

It's one of those books where you have to just accept that it doesn't make sense and move on, which I can do sometimes, but I don't think you can do at all. <br /><br />Nope. I'm good with fancy language, but science jargon makes no sense to me. I hear science terms and my brain runs screaming in fear.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-20807829697931187062013-02-04T09:18:13.683-05:002013-02-04T09:18:13.683-05:00I'm struggling with whether or not to read thi...I'm struggling with whether or not to read this review. I have been thinking lately that The Hunt is one that I need to read for myself to see how I feel about it. Kara seems to have liked it so much, and the concept sounds really cool. I think I will read it eventually but I'm sad to see that you hated the sequel so damn much. And that kind of makes me not want to read it. blah.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714782276296445149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-54697574877977630932013-02-03T19:48:36.642-05:002013-02-03T19:48:36.642-05:00Hrm, I thought The Hunt was just okay, but had pla...Hrm, I thought The Hunt was just okay, but had planned on reading the sequel. I'll probably still read it (I'm a sucker), but thanks for the head's up. I'll steel myself against the misogyny.

(Okay, I did read the first two pages...then I got distracted)<br /><br />"whew! thank god it wasn't awesome, then I would be kicking myself!" I was going to read The Hunt before The Prey's release...not going to happen. must. read. for. school. *goes back to reading scholarly articles with fancy language that I don't comprehend* Am I just stupid or is everyone pretending to understand all this scientific jargon?
