Dealing with the idea, for that target age itself, of being hunted to death, is pretty rough stuff - PTSD indeed! But, I agree, great fiction. In my mind, I saw shades of an updated (obviously) "1984". Gasp. And I'm a pretty big fan of George Orwell so I don't say that lightly. But, definitely a chance to introduce the idea of Utopian society to readers who otherwise would find "1984" an outdated slog... At any rate, it will be interesting to see it on the big screen as well.Shelly Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629939059782822158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546605134252006729.post-57753571847455080402012-01-29T15:20:45.208-07:002012-01-29T15:20:45.208-07:00You know, I don't even understand people in my...You know, I don't even understand people in my own home sometimes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708869706391940207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546605134252006729.post-27099124606941185912012-01-26T20:39:46.551-07:002012-01-26T20:39:46.551-07:00Pretty cool, e.
