I must be the world's worst gift receiver, because it can really take me AGES to finally get to reading books I've been lucky enough to get as gifts. Though I do really try. So I've owned Girl in the Arena for about two years now and have just gotten around to reading it. At the time I got it, I was...
Why was this book written? I mean damnit it started off with such great intentions...then what hell happened? I was thinking "hell yeah, give me a bad-ass chick in an arena, kicking ass and taking names!", I'm thinking Russell Crowe's Gladiator type shit and it started off with this great little int...

Zum Inhalt:Im Gegensatz zu anderen Dystopien spielt dieses Buch in unserer Zeit, allerdings haben Gladiatorenveranstaltungen auf Leben und Tod Einzug in die Unterhaltungs-"Kultur" genommen. Zunächst reine Untergrundveranstaltungen, wurden sie irgendwann in den USA legalisiert.Lyns Mutter ist eine Gl...
UPDATE 7/12/2011: I've just finished The Hunger Games. I had to come back here to say again how awful Girl in the Arena is. AWFUL.If you are just thinking about reading/buying this, go immediately to a priest or a spiritual counselor (or just drop me a line): believe me, you are going to need some s...
