Cinco cosas que me enfurecen + sorteo internacional

Antes de saber lo que era una distopía, me gustaban las historias futuristas y de ciencia-ficción. Hoy puedo decir que, aunque no sea mi género favorito, está en lo alto del pedestal con los mejores. Las distopías especulan sobre lo que el ser humano podría acabar haciendo si siguiese un determinado camino. Normalmente, no es un lugar al que desearíamos ir de vacaciones.

FURY, de Charlotte McConaghy, trata sobre una chica que despierta sin saber por qué está cubierta de sangre. Lo que sí sabe es que no ha respondido al tratamiento gubernamental que inmuniza contra la furia, proscrita en este mundo distópico. Debe descubrir la razón antes de que su capacidad para la violencia haga daño a los demás y, en especial, al chico que intenta ayudarla.

5 cosas que me enfurecen

1. Me enfurece que los anuncios interrumpan el episodio en medio de una frase, a mitad de una lucha o justo cuando los protas están haciendo algo "importantísimo".

2. Me enfurece que los conductores se pasen el semáforo en verde (para el peatón confiado) sin la menor vergüenza.

3. Me enfurece que cambien a los actores de una temporada a otra y tenga que empezar a "sentir algo por ellos" cuando son completos desconocidos.

4. Me enfurece que algunos se preocupen tanto por las relaciones prematrimoniales u homosexuales cuando el tráfico humano es uno de los mayores negocios del mundo.

5. Me enfurece que una editorial ignore una simple pregunta en busca de información, o prometa enviarme un libro que nunca llegará.

¿Cuáles son las cosas que os enfurecen, arrebatadores? ;o)

Fury: Book 1 of The Cure by Charlotte McConaghy

348 pages, Published March 25th, 2014 by Momentum Books, Pan Macmillan

In the tradition of Divergent comes a novel about a world where negative emotions are stolen ... and only those with fury can stand up and fight.

Eighteen-year-old Josephine Luquet wakes naked and covered in blood that is not hers on the same day every year—when the blood moon is full. Josi has not responded to the "Cure"—an immunization against anger mandated by the government—and believes herself to be a threat to others.

Then she meets Luke. Luke has had the Cure but seems different to the other "drones"—and he's dead set on helping Josi discover the truth about herself before the next blood moon.

But time is running out. Is Luke willing to risk his life to be near her? Does he truly understand what violence she is capable of?

Raw and full of passion, Fury is a story of love in a dystopian world, and how much we are willing to forgive in the struggle to remember our humanity.

I can't say that I've read most of the books in the author's list, so it's not possible for me to agree or not on the quality of the adaptations. Still, I'm passionate about all films and TV series based on Jane Eyre's story. I think I've seen them all. Every single one adds a jewel to the collection. 

Lord of the Rings is one of the most beautiful, reliable and haunting book to film adaptations I've ever encountered. The music is just pure heaven too. 

I'm still reeling with all the fun I'm having with The Hunger Games and Divergent. Good books, good films. What else is there? ;o)
