This week’s topic is:
Top Ten Societies You Would Never Want to Live in/ Characters You Wouldn’t Want to Trade Places With
I decided to do a little of each!
Societies
1. Brave New World
Just too creepy.
2. Game of Thrones
It all sucks in this world- except the dragons. Dragons are very cool.
3. The Handmaid’s Tale
A world were women are subjugated in this fashion is horrifying.
4. Mordor
While I would love to spend time with Aragorn and Elrond, I don’t want to go anywhere near this place.
5. Narnia
Although I would love to have talking animals, the White Witch scares me. And the never-ending winter?? I feel like we are having that now. It’s freezing!
Characters
6. Katniss Everdeen- The Hunger Games
She is very cool and saves the world and all. But she pays too high a price.
7. Wendy Torrence- The Shining
Stuck in a hotel for MONTHS. With a husband and small child??? Oh yeah, someone was going to crack.
8. Dolores Price- She’s Come Undone
This poor girl. Why couldn’t someone help her? I couldn’t stand this book.
9. Lisbeth Salander- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I love her strong character, but so much bad crap happens to her.
10. Charlotte Lucas Collins – Pride & Prejudice
Was he really her only option? Be an old maid. Or pray for early widowhood.
Turn the Page Reviews 
I adored She’s Come Undone, but I completely agree with you that I’d never want to change places with Dolores. What an awful life.
These are great choices!
I especially like #10 – ha!
Narnia is high on my list of book worlds to live in! After the reign of The White Witch, of course. Otherwise, I would definitely agree with your lists.
I forgot about Mordor, nice list.
Thanks- it was a fun topic!
Love your list! The Shining is such a unique pick!
Aragorn was my reason not to include Middle-earth haha
Thanks- I liked your list- i have to read Divergent soon!

The Handmaid’s Tale would be truly terrifying because I could see that one actually becoming a reality.
I’d forgotten all about She’s Come Undone — what an awful life she had! I had Westeros and Mordor on my list as well, although I don’t think I’d mind Narnia, maybe under the reign of Caspian? Post White Witch, in any case — she’s scary! Good call on Gilead also. One of my very favorite books, but I’d never want to find myself there. Great list!
