May I ask what the recommended age limit is for this book? Is there questionable content, i.e. bad language, smut, etc.?
SPOILER ALERT!! kind of...
We are all very into the books right now and I have just finished reading book 2 (can’t wait to get the last one!) There is no bad language, no smut, no sex HOWEVER there is some discussion about nudity and the two main characters sleep together for comfort (sleep only)
The main concern for the books is the violence. The children are pitted against each other to fight to the death. And it gets pretty gory. The story is on the dark side, not a light, uplifting story at all. But very interesting, very thought provoking. My 3rd son is dyslexic and is not that fond of ready, he reads VERY slowly. But he can’t put the book down.
The movie is PG13. It seems that most of the junior and senior high school kids in our church have read the trilogy and so have most of the parents. It is being recommended because of its story line of seeking freedom from an opppressive government, or perhaps I should say a dictitorial government. A friend at church loaned me the trilogy and I read through it in less than 2 weeks. It is also semi-science fictionish. Well written and flows nicely. Definitely not the type of book the current leftist oriented school and college teachers want their students to be exposed to. It might make them begin to think for themselves and resist their socialist indoctrination.
I would say not younger than 13..it is an intense series. No profanity or sexuality but violent.
The books have no bad language or smut. But it’s violent. Kids killing kids for the entertainment of the govt and the people of the “capitol”(re the hunger games per the govt).
The rec reading level is 12 and up...the movie is PG13.
it seems to be a teenage “girl-power” book and is going to catch a lot of heck from libtards after they realize what a commentary it is on government control
look for them to start to pan this movie, and that is why
