My mom was the same way about the title! ...Hi Emma! My mom was the same way about the title! But it's really not all that sketchy. The main theme is actually about not wasting your life ... Living, really <i>living</i>, with the time you've been given!<br /><br />I'm pretty sensitive myself! Some of the content in <i>A Time to Die</i> did make me a little squeamish ... like, yikes! That's terrible! There are starving wolf packs, deaths, and people stitching up their own wounds. I don't think the gory/frightening scenes are <i>real</i> detailed, but they do get the point across. <br /><br />Um. I know it's not gruesome/sickening like <i>The Hunger Games</i> and <i>Mockingjay</i> by Suzanne Collins, <i>Scarlet</i> by Marissa Meyer, or <i>Thunder</i> by Bonnie S. Calhoun. Those are some books that were just a bit too much for me, violence wise. I don't if you've ready any of those ...<br /><br /><i>A Time to Die</i> is a fascinating book, with a really amazing Christian message; but yes, it does have it's violence. Hope that was at least somewhat helpful! :)Shantelle Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671416965777525382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-40053096312671400082016-01-19T12:21:38.873-08:002016-01-19T12:21:38.873-08:00I was wanting to read A Time To Die, but my mom wa...I was wanting to read A Time To Die, but my mom wasn't too sure about it because of the title. I am not super good with goery things, so how would you rate it 'gorey/scary' wise?emmawittenburg2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161335619580257711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-74754569586890031882015-09-14T12:52:06.472-07:002015-09-14T12:52:06.472-07:00It was a fascinating tale!
