The Hunger Game [book]

THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLY GOOD BOOK BUT I REALLY ROLLED MY EYES AT THE PART WHEN WEREWOLVES SHOWED UP AND I WONDER IF THAT WAS INTENTIONALLY WRITTEN AS MORE DUMB AND ABSTRACT THAN OTHER PARTS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FEEL THEY COULD HAVE A CHILD RIPPED TO SHREDS BY WOLVES AND BEGGING TO DIE OVER THE COURSE OF A NIGHT IN A CHILDREN'S BOOK.

PS. THE 'PRETENDING TO BE IN LOVE' THING WAS ALSO HILARIOUSLY TRANSPARENT. AND I HOPE THERE IS NO ONE ALIVE THAT TOOK TO THE THIRD TO LAST PAGE TO SEE THAT TWIST COMING.

LIKE A GRANDMA HAVING TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS REASONABLE BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.

Things from the dark eat you if you travel through warp space, but human brains are too slow to react to the millisecond attacks, so they have to make psychic entanglement with strong hunter cats. There is vague romantic undertones to this.  The Cat from Hell: Oh, it's that stephen king story.  It's that thing from the tales from the darkside movie. The one king doesn't know how cats or mouths work.  Out Of Place: I don't remember anything about this story and have just reskimmed it right now and still can't tell you anything about it.  Schrödinger's Cat: I absolutely love Ursula K Leguin, but oof, this book just didn't work. It has a strong feeling of a metaphor based on some not quite right 1970s pop understanding of physics. Maybe it'
