Which is your favorite Science Fiction series? Part VI

297 sats \ 13 comments \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 3 Feb BooksAndArticles

Which series of Science Fiction books do like the best?

This is part six of the polls to find the most favored series. We are looking at a series of at least two or three books.

There are many series out there and I could only list a few. I must admit that I have not read many of these. Especially non-English writers’ series.

If you have others, not listed please put them in comments. I will add them to later polls.

I will publish the results after the poll closes.

The Expanse Series by James S. A. Corey 20.0%

`Hunger Games Trilogy Suzanna Collins`30.0%

Patternist(Pattern Master)Octavia Butler10.0%

The Three-Body Problem Series Cixin Liu 20.0%

`The Forever War Series by Joe Haldeman`0.0%

Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin 0.0%

Really enjoyed the patternist series.

Silo and Broken Earth were less enjoyable. If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with broken earth.

This is a series I haven’t read. I have read some of her other books though and thought they were good reads. I will have to add this series to my “to read list”.

The Hunger Games books are really interesting. They do a much better job of explaining the world than the movies.

In particular, I thought the aspect of the world being right on the edge of genetic collapse was fascinating.

I agree the books were much better, and because I'm clearly a teenage girl in a middle aged man's body, I've read a bunch of books in that sort of genre

I thought having Jennifer Laurence as Kathi’s was a huge mistake and huge difference between the books and the movies. It made the books much more realistic for the reality of starvation in the outlying districts and the revolt that ensued. I have never been satisfied by the movie of a book if I read the books first. Just so disappointing. I had to read the books because I was sometimes teaching middle schoolers that were given Hunger Games and The Giver as reading assignments. I had to know them, too. I got trapped into reading a lot of STUFF for those reasons. A lot of that STUFF is just garbage and the poor kids had to read it. They could have been reading Charles Dickens, instead.

I have gotta say, “That goddamned spellchecker isn’t worth the price of the dynamite to blow it up!!” It f*s up a whole lot of things it shouldn’t mess up.

It was Katnis Everdeen.

I saw the movies first and thought she was really good as Katnis, but I know what you mean about the problem of watching movies after reading the books.

I only had the problem because the description of Katnis in the book and Jennifer Laurence were so totally at odds that it was a distraction at first. I also miss the detail you can get from the books. I have these on DVD for my home collection , so I can watch them whenever I please, without any additional edits to fit the times. Another good one was the Divergent Series, but the same thing happened there with he books first then the movies.

Hunger Games could have really benefited from an extended cut that got a little more into those aspects of the world (that maybe aren't as cinematic).

I think that most of the movies also have to fit a timeframe of “buttache time”. If the movies are too long, it gets really hard to sit through them. The best I can do is about two and a half hours before I have to move around. It doesn’t help when they get really long. I think that is why the directors are making those movies. I remember that most movies used to be about 100 minutes and still be great.
