I think that author is pretty brilliant. Conservatives see conservative themes, liberals see liberal themes, girls like it, my guess is boys would like it too.
Hubby and I listened to them on audiobooks, they were very good. The first one is the best, imho. I mean you have to get beyond that whole children murdering children thing, of course, I can see how people would reject them because of that.
I thought the first movie was awful. If I hadn’t read the book I don’t think I would have understood at all what was going on.
They really should have gone the mini-series route with these books.
Reading the first book now. Was advised that books 2 and 3 suck.
It’s just like Orwell’s books and to a lesser extant Huxley in that conservatives see the warning signs and detest the dystopian future while liberals take it as a blueprint and embrace overtly or covertly big brother as this is all modern humanism or postmodernism has for hope.
