I have my suspicions that a lot of the “hype” was inorganic. Social media is already a huge market to get the word out about a new book, it was really only a matter of time until someone took advantage of that to get more sales on a mediocre book.

I have some Issues with the hunger games series but holy shit suzanne collins’ prose just grabs you right from the start. Reading is a really visual experience for me anyway but the prose of those books is so immersive.
