Filtering out search results related to movies is a bit of a chore but worth it. The opinions shared about the books are richer than those shared about the movies, perhaps because the books have been around longer.

There are also forums that are trying to explain why it's important to let young readers read books like the Hunger Games even though it deals with such raw topics as death, survival and politics.
