Welcome to the most overused theme in the last 6 something years! I can't stress enough how much these books (generally trilofgies, another overused writing style, but that can be another Rant) fully irritate the heck out of me.
Just please, please authors of now! Stop using this theme! Are you trying to ensure that the children of the future will suffer through a corrupt, classist society in which after some apocalyptic event has eradicated almost all the human species from the world the remaining humans left will be so greedy as to hog the surprisingly advanced technology of supposed technologically deficient societies and then enslave their fellow counterparts into serving them for them to live overly extravagant lives in what is supposed to be a crumbling nation. Or divide them by ability to reap the most benefits from them in a nefarious plot! Or for there to be basically another American Civil War, for another 618,222 American citizens of the future to die again over a reason I don't think is quite thoroughly explained. All of which to be lead by moderately independent female figures to lead a rebellion or over throw their corrupt government which will, though the books end here at the happy ending, to most likely fall into a fair leadership that falls suspect to corruption once more and for this entire scenario to just continually repeat itself until Humanities Extinction! Whoopdif*ckingdo! I can easily list six or seven Dystopian future books / series that all have the same generic plots, as well as the two/three sole legitimate books. I'll list the legits first and let my agitation bubble within me as I realize how many wannabe new Harry potter authors there are these days. (Please note, I honestly hate Harry Potter with a passion, ((bring on the hate I couldn't care less)), only use it as an example because even though J.K. Rowling is inconsistent in her feminist claims , such as publishing a book a while back under a man's name so more people would buy it, even though know she's f*cking J.K.Rowling and if she slaps her name on anything it will sell. But back to using Harry Potter as an example, it's because of how famous and rich and how many copies of the series J.K.Rowling has sold is that I use it as a baseline for wannabes. Also, for the hate about to come my way before you've even read any of my work, just because I hate Harry Potter, do I retardedly, extreme fangirly think that because you like Harry Potter you are dumb or evil, or ugly or blind or again back to stupid, for liking it. I don't, but I'm not going to make you hate it too, or make you feel bad for liking it, just because I don't. ))
Anyways! Back to the list. The three 'legits' :
1. The true starter, George Orwell's: 1984, written in like, the 1930s or 40s, I have yet to manage to get my gummy hands on this books and read it for myself but through several summaries and opinions of others and general review it's a good, legit book.
2. The kick starter, Lois Lowery's: The Giver a good, legit book that is a movie coming out in the fall, though by just watching the trailer I can already tell it's going to be a major piece of shit that isn't anything like the book and will dissapointed true fans everywhere while dumb fan girls will like it just because Jonas and Fiona kiss even though they get no where close to a romantically relationship in the book and the directors just added that bit to fish more dumb fangirl fans to watch it and boost their box office numbers. I'm not even bothering to see it because I'd rather not have that awesome reality in book form ruined by another shitty a$$ movie because f*ck that.
3. This one is more recent, Christian Cantrell's : Containment, exquisitely written with enough scientific evidence to prove in a logical mind the possibility of this reality, or at least convinces you to think so, because it's well thought out and I actually think one or two ideas from the book should be put into action now, like Ice Paper, a fictional invention of a college student who discovered the surface area of all the roofs and tops of cars equates to the same distance of the polar ice caps, which by then in the book, had melted away, and helped reflect the now harsher uv rays back into space, restoring Earth's depleted atmosphere and sparing humanity for a while. If we came up with that now we could potentially spare ourselves from that fate for longer than predicted. I think that was ingenious of the author, and he cleverly uses mystery to lure the reader deeper into his physiological trap, ensuring you, keeping you chained to the book until you finish. I spent 13-14 consecutive hours immersed in the book until I finished a day after I got it from the library.
Okay, now to the 'bullshits'
1. Just f*ck me up the a $$ with a cactus now, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Colins. Let's just force children to fight to the death as a form of amusement for the rich people, sureeeeeeee. 'Totes Legit Man. I think the biggest piece of bull about it is when Katniss is assuring Prim she won't get picked she says , "You're name is only in there once. There's no way you're gonna get picked. " She f*cking goes and has to get picked. Like really Collins? It would have been better if she left that out so when everyone thinks Katniss is going to get picked Prim gets picked instead, and then Katniss wonders how it's possible because her name is only in there once. Also, for Katniss to live was totally expected, as well as Prim to die eventually. And did there really need to be a love triangle? Like I feel Peeta living as well was a last minute revelation that came to her while she was riding a bus and looking out the window, which is probably the only reason she was able to even conceive a second and third book. A second book might have survived to explain what happens to Katniss after, but there was no reason for two books of bullshits to equate to a third of Rebellion. And if Gale and Katniss were so perfect for each other why f*ck it up. I mean, Liam Hemsworth is hotter than Whatever his name Kutcher, (is it Ashton Kutcher? I'm not sure that is him. His name was in my head one minute then gone the next.) The only reason there's a love triangle is to ensure more obsessive fan girls to pull a twilight and Team Peeta all up in this shit when it's obvious Team Gale should've won, just saying, totally put of character too, that was so unlike me lel.) And though Jennifer Lawrence did an okay job as Katniss I feel she could've done better if the movie was orchestrated better. Not to mention the craze has pretty much died out and all's left is the movies, which aren't even that good.
2. You can switch the Cactus for a Chain saw because holy f*ck this book is boring! By idk and IDC who! City of Ember, (also a trilogy to the many who don't know this book even exists!) I honestly have tried to read this book several times and each time I end up frustratedly throwing the book at my wall (Even though I would never mistreat a book) because I can't get farther than the first couple chapters! Lile, how the f*ck does a book as boring as that even get published! You can give me the "it gets better" bullshits a still you want, I refuse to read that book. Also having become a movie, coincidentally, also starring the guy who plays Peeta when he was a couple years younger, which I a have never heard of been talked about so it must of f*cking sucked major a$$.
These next two, aren't sooo bad, and probably conclude my list.
3. Marie Lu's: Legend. Again another Female lead to a society that is currently engaged in a Civil war with the other half of America, another trilogy. I already ranted mainly about it in the begining, and it's just another love story between a good guy (girl) and mislabeled bad guy to eventually overthrow a corrupt government.
4. Veronica Roth: Divergent. I read the first book, looked up the ending to the entire series, ad was extremely disappointed Roth f*cked up an idea of actual potential. Set in trilogy form it's just another moderately independent female figure who falls in love with some guy who helps her later in the series to overthrow the corrupt government and ends at the happy ending (ehh, not so happy, since for some reason Roth thought, "Oh, I'll just kill of the main character so the other characters have motivation but the ending now means nothing more than a fleeting victory. " and also stops before actually explaining how the government rebuilds itself, or if the people now in anarchy survive or whether not at all Humanity survives as a whole, because for some reason only specific parts of America are safe from whatever ever catastrophic pandemic or natural disaster, or human ignorance around the entire frickin globe.
Notice how all four bullshits are trilogies, why not just write two books, or stretch it over four? Lois Lowery's Giver series or that universe is over four books. Can't you just stretch it out or condense it a bit? Going from 3, 300 paged books to 2, 500 paged books is apparently, way too difficult. Whatever, I guess this concludes my first Rant Session.
Peace put broski's,
