The Hunger Games Series vs. Divergent Series
I have personally read both series and enjoyed them both. However, I am partial to The Hunger Games. I think Collins did a wonderful job of setting the scene and developing the characters. While, Roth created an amazing alternate realty of the world we already live in, i felt that, at times, there was so much more that needed to be said, described, and explained that she just skipped over. All of the characters, besides the main character, were all incredibly under-developed, in my opinion.
What did you all think?

How interesting. I did not know about that. Either way, I still enjoyed the series. I think it was well developed and I was drawn into the world created and the characters' lives. I believe if a book does that to me and I cannot put it down, then the author has done their job properly!Joan Slowey wrote:I read The Hunger Games recently - the first one only. It is the almost the same as a Japanese Movie called, Battle Royale. The idea of children competing and trying to kill each other until only one is left is not new.
Thank you for sharing the information with me though

I prefer the Divergent Trilogy over the Hunger Games Trilogy, but that's just because I was far more entralled with the story-line of Divergent than Hunger Games. Although, both books are phenomenal and definitely reread-worthy.melissalynn411 wrote:These series are being compared a lot lately, especially with both now being put on the big screen. I'd love to hear about everyone's opinions on these two series, either compared or separately as a series.

The Hunger Games stands as one of my favorite series. However, this is not because I compared the two series and the Hunger Games emerged as the winner. The story just resonates with me on its own and I believe it is a true inspiration to many people.
Anyway, that is my little opinion on the subject. I am not asking you to agree, but it is what I think.
