Stephen King Reviews The Hunger Games



    I am sure we all know who Stephen King is. He sold over 350 million copies of his books total; many books that have since been turned into feature films; ring a bell yet? It is definitely really interesting to see the opinions of The Hunger Games novel by such a successful author.
    Stephen King leaves a well-written and sort of humorous review. He talks about the character of Katniss while also making fun of her name. He also mentions how many clichés exist within the themes of the novel. Lastly, he touches on some of, what he calls, “authorial laziness;” poking fun at her use of the sponsor parachutes within the games.
    Though King pokes fun at a number of the book’s elements, he also describes it as addictive and full of constant suspense. He states that he will be interested in reading the book’s sequels, and gives the book a high rating of a B.
    This is definitely a review worth reading. If you want to hear the insight of an amazing author, then click the link above!
