Taking 200 pages to build up to a war that never happens...FAIL on a scale so huge, I can't even describe it in coherent words.

Yep, gotta agree with The Dark Knight too especially the boat scene literally a bomb waiting to go off. <br /><br />And Hunger Games does a good job, but I almost think that Catching Fire is better in the suspense category because we understand so much more about what's at stake.Diva Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07212847651776831475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917328764825378054.post-80144389173917189972011-01-17T13:48:59.869-07:002011-01-17T13:48:59.869-07:00Dan's books are a great example. In I Am Not A...Dan's books are a great example. In I Am Not A Serial Killer, he builds a lot of suspense in the relationship John has with unsuspecting Brooke. We know that John has the potential to be dangerous and therefore every interaction is a little creepy and suspenseful. Its even better in Mr. Monster. I hate stalker scenarios but in the tight web of John Cleaver's story I couldn't help but bite my fingernails and keep reading.<br /><br />I'm trying to remember a FAIL in this but since I don't love suspense, the movies that fail at it don't really bug me as much.Diva Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07212847651776831475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917328764825378054.post-48790491885239927782011-01-17T13:48:36.386-07:002011-01-17T13:48:36.386-07:00Ummm, not that I have Batman on the brain or anyth...Ummm, not that I have Batman on the brain or anything, but THE DARK KNIGHT! Hello! Suspense!!!!<br /><br />I also love The Hunger Games. And how can I not mention Dan Wells' amazing "I Am Not a Serial Killer" series. All mentioned before, but when talking about suspense my mind immediately goes to those series. Funny enough, in classic lit, The Count of Monte Cristo has plenty of suspense. Not to mention character development.The Scarlet Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799143168415937513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917328764825378054.post-69670273800190768152011-01-17T13:34:32.410-07:002011-01-17T13:34:32.410-07:00So, I skipped the spoiler.

When it ended Steve and I looked at each other and laughed in bitter disappointment.DJ Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615339246113917504noreply@blogger.com
