I...Hehe, well, bleaker in a slightly different way. In The Road, it felt like constant grim drudgery. Like just barely clinging onto life, and to no purpose. But The Hunt is more like tense peril. I think I'd be more scared living in the world of The Hunt, because at least in The Road they could be themselves even if the world was horrible. In The Hunt, Gene can't even sweat or smile without worrying about getting devoured!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-13112742607767960722012-05-11T23:48:53.006-04:002012-05-11T23:48:53.006-04:00Oh, you didn't like The Immortal Rules?

But The Hunt felt <i>totally</i> real and believable. <br /><br />I don't love this new cover either.

I wish I could read as fast as you can, I'd sure have the opportunity to get more books from NG. I'm just too slow. I didn't request it because I'm trying to honor my other requests and not be overly greedy, knowing the pace I read. Now I'm bummed because I've missed out on a lot of great reads, which only means I'm going to be spending more money at amazon.com<br /><br />PS: You've already made me purchase The False Prince! :-) How many more will it be this year???Gina @ My Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895568426820464572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-891079572329277232012-05-10T14:08:15.549-04:002012-05-10T14:08:15.549-04:00LMBO best review ive ever read.

GASP...SMALL SMALL SMALL SMALL SMALL SMALL SMALL!!! GASP! Ok, this review made me laugh out loud SO MANY TIMES. I'm seriously officially DYING to read this NOW. I have it on my Nook, 53 days left, and I shall read it. Very very very soon. I've been looking to read some scary books lately (the reason I requested "Anna Dressed in Blood" from the library) (and the reason I want to read "House" again). I'm not a vampire girl.....but that's reserved for glittering vampires. I'll take "Enclave" kind of vampire/zombie/evil-kill-them-all-eat-them-alive kind of creatures any day. ;)<br /><br />I LOVE the parallels you made to "The Hunger Games", and "I Am Legend" (haven't read the book but I did NOT like the Will Smith movie) and "The Road" (which I haven't seen or read either...). I'm thinking I have some zombie books to catch up on? ;)<br /><br />Ok. So. Reading this VERY SOON.<br /><br />Thanks for your fantastical review!Sierra Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330264859252593838noreply@blogger.com
