It's not even a well known series like LOTR or Harry Potter. What the f*** is with the disproportionate amount of media hype over this thing?

Effective marketing machine, basically. Has a wider demographic than the likes of Twilight, but shares a vocal fanbase who talk it up on social media.
The books aren't particularly awful, but definitely overrated - the hype will die down. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The books are probably the most popular teenage series since Twilight, so I think the media coverage is fairly proprtionate.
I don't quite get the hype though. I only read the first book and it was alright, a 6/10. Haven't read Twilight but Harry Potter was much better. -- http://img.imgcake.com/fitgirljpgta.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I felt little disappointed with the movie. My wife read the book and told me the premise before we went, so I was expecting more duels and Katness being like a badass or something. Was rather disappointed with the amount of hiding and lack killing she did. Still, it looks like another series of books I would read over Twilight, though I would rather them make The Power of Six movie instead.

So....this is basically a glorified Battle Royale? Is this something I would love because I love Battle Royale? Or something I would hate because I love Battle Royale? It's like Battle Royale had sex with Twilight. The actual battle royale part of Hunger Games is of secondary importance to the romance. Maybe you'd like that sort of thing too, but don't expect the same kind of movie that Battle Royale was. -- Once built a steamboat in a meadow 'cuz I'd forgotten how to sail. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I heard about it through my cousin last week or maybe the week before. Made a joke about how it was probably utter s*** and exactly like Twilight (without knowing anything about it) and she said it was hyped similarly to Twilight and targetted the same demographic.

From: ImTheMacheteGuy | #034 It really isn't like Twilight at all. There are some romance parts, but it's mostly about survival. Plus, unlike Twilight, people other than teenage girls actually like this. I do think that the second movie won't be as good, though, because the pacing in the second book was very slow. -- SuperNiceDog has won. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was minorly disappointed with the movie. My wife read the book and told me the premise before we went, so I was expecting more duels and Katness being like a badass or something. Was rather put off with the amount of hiding and lack killing she did. Plus the movie kinda did the only possible solutions to get to the end that it could (including the ending) to make everyone including the plot happy, so pretty much a very predictable show. Still, it looks like another series of books I would read over Twilight, though I would rather them make The Power of Six movie instead. This is the main issue I had with the book. It should have been written in third person with no single protagonist IMO. -- http://img.imgcake.com/fitgirljpgta.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
