I’m definitely not usually the type of person to willingly jump into the next big thing just because it’s popular. So I understand why a lot of people might look at this explosive franchise and simply ignore it. I, for one, am always wary of the next fad and not so sure I want to become one of those millions of obsessive, squealing teenage fans.
But one day in 2010 I picked up a random book at a bookstore because the premise simply intrigued me, and it turned out to be a resonating, disturbing, and engaging story.
