It is called "Hater" by: David Moody.<br /><br />In the book, a certain part of the population appears to go mad. They begin lashing out at individuals apparently due to the paranoia that they believe they're the ones being targeted.<br /><br />The is written in 1st person POV and shows the protagonist's fight against these "Haters." He runs and hides from them, fights against them, etc.<br /><br />Halfway through the book, the protagonist's pov suddenly shifts from being a "good guy" to being a "Hater." The Author does it in a way that, for the remainder of the book, makes me believe that the "Haters" were actually the good guys. It was a great piece of writing.<br /><br />It made me think about perception and what "bad" and "good" actually are. These words have to be the most subjective words ever! No one will ever say that the person they're fighting with is actually the good guy. But who is "good" in the conflict? We can't all agree on that because both sides fighting percieve that they are the good ones. <br /><br />Rant over! Hope it helps :)randi leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207001299508931034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817453184043974814.post-84111134977278187092012-05-02T14:04:18.380-04:002012-05-02T14:04:18.380-04:00I love epic movies as well. haven't seen War H...I love epic movies as well. haven't seen War Horse yet, but Braveheart is one of my favorites, as well as The Last Samurai. <br />And I'm a huuuuuge Joss Whedon fan!<br />Thanks for your input, Heather...definitely something to think about!YelenaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936884860306485883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817453184043974814.post-37226914707118039122012-05-02T11:08:37.782-04:002012-05-02T11:08:37.782-04:00That dog is so going to need a bath.

My favo...That dog is so going to need a bath. LOL!<br /><br />My favorite movies are usually epic, like War Horse, Braveheart, or Wolverine. I like strong characters and big stories. I love anything by Joss Whedon as well. That man just has IT. Buffy and Firefly rocked. I'm not sure if that helps though. ;)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817453184043974814.post-26512790657448154132012-05-02T09:47:17.655-04:002012-05-02T09:47:17.655-04:00HA!
