I think she's a great writer with interesting plots. But I can't do first person, it just doesn't work for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Usualpy big same, but these books and the Murderbot books are my two exceptions for first person. Though I've never reread The Hunger Games so it might not hold up.

[(Anonymous)]

I've only read THG trilogy and I thought she was just ok. I did like her ideas, though.

[(Anonymous)]

disclosure: I cannot read this, I need a transcript, but I skimmed words.

really? you think the woman who can print money, who sold the movie rights to her latest book in the series before the book was even published, doesn't get enough acclaim?? REALLLY?

[(Anonymous)]

Popularity and sales are not the same as critical success, no.

Like this is a pretty basic concept.

[(Anonymous)]

She is one of the few writers whose books make me feel bad and I still read them because they are fucking well written.

Gregor

[(Anonymous)]

I couldn't be bothered to read past the first HG book, or watch past the second movie.

I loved the Gregor series, and I would love to see it have a film franchise.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

thank you for making my secret!

[(Anonymous)]

she gets exactly as much critical acclaim as she deserves

her books have a couple really compelling ideas, and strong propulsive pacing that comes from Collins' days as a TV writer, but there are other elements of the books that are just...really, really clunky. i sincerely think it's good that YA books for "baby's first political philosophy" exist and are decently written and popular but high literary nuance and craft they are not

[(Anonymous)]

That's also true of lots of authors who have had decades of critical acclaim and are regularly taught in schools.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if this is her motive, but I don't like the way people are acting like she's writing more books until you "get it" and to them "getting it" means not caring about the shipping. People got the message of the books, they just talked more about the ships because it was the most fun and easy thing to fandom about. You can understand the "deeper" parts of a book and also be invested in the shipping!

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I'm fucking sick of intellectually lazy dipshits claiming their YA series is just as good as Nabokov and doesn't get enough acclaim, so. The author is rich as fuck and you're an adult. Grow up.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sick of intellectually lazy dipshits reading Nabokov and clutching pearls to their collar bones while crying, "this is disturbing and I'm uncomfortable! Why was this pervert allowed to be published? How can this be considered classic literature?"

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

You don't know which currently popular authors are going to be looked at by scholars in the future and deemed Important Literature. Dickens was considered nothing more than a mediocre crowd-pleasing writer in his time.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, even people in this century acknowledge his crowd-pleasing tendencies.

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone always brings up Dickens, but the thing is...everyone always brings up Dickens, which means that everyone knows he was considered a crowd-pleasing hack. It's not some well-kept secret.

[(Anonymous)]

I can read Dickens in the present day and be ultimately bored and judge him a hack, dawg.
