If I could say anything to Suzanne Collins, I would say, you stink for giving us these hard parenting decisions. I mean, I am so excited that all the tweens are so excited about a book...A BOOK, it;s all they talk about! I mean reading is in again, wow. However, In order to make it exciting, your content about kids killing kids, well I'm not sure that It's appropriate for a nine year old, or anyone who can't stomach that. But, reluctantly after I had read it, I let him read it, all three books actually because after all they are just books and he knows the difference between fantasy and reality. THEN, you had to go and make a movie about said kids killing other kids, I mean like 20 kids die in the movie right? And you had to make it PG-13 not rated R so us parents of the nine year old children who have read the books have to decide if this type of violence is not too much for them. Then we feel like the worst parents in the world for letting our kids see the movie, or not see it, because "all their friends are seeing it." Yeah the book was pretty good for a grown up, and thank you for making my boy so excited about reading, but REALLY?
