Willard wouldn’t make it as a coming of age film. Really, if you cringe at the thought of a really big bug and rats and bats are the stuff of your nightmares, this is going to be a wild stretch for you even to read - and just imagine it on the big screen! Rats as large as human beings, bugs like buses that adore, surround, and insist on playing with human kiddies, and bats as your best friends, also all as big as human beings.
It’s as if the vermin of Brian Jacques Redwall books take over the storytelling - Cluny the Bard. It’s the only book to break the lovable cockroach, rodent, and bat barrier.
Why am I so confident this is a ‘page only’ story experience?
If Hunger Games is bigger than Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, and all seven, um, eight Harry Potter films combined, the biggest adaptation you’re going to see of these stories is a BBC radio production. I am very grateful, of course, for the Potter, Twilight, and Hunger Games movie franchises because they bring in millions of readers who pick up the novels after seeing the film version, even if that adaptation is a far, far cry from the original story.īut Gregor the Overlander isn’t coming to theatres near you ever. I like movies as much as the next guy, if I struggle to take them seriously as art. (1) It’s never, ever going to be made into a movie. In other words, “If you love Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, then….” For what are pretty much spoiler-free explanations of the three reasons, jump the jump. (3) They are page-turning, heart-engaging, “O, brave New World!” adventure yarns you will love. (2) The Chronicles open up the core meaning of Hunger Games and the evolution of Collins’ artistry. (1) The series is never, ever going to be made into movies. I finished the fifth book, Gregor and the Code of the Claw, last night and offer these three good reasons for you to purchase the five books today and begin reading them. Since a reader here suggested long ago that I read Suzanne Collins’ first series of books, the five Gregor the Overlander novels, The Underland Chronicles, for a better idea of what she is up to as a writer in Hunger Games, this has been on my to-do list.
