I totally don't want to read HG. I know I couldn't cope with it. But, sometime in the future maybe. Maybe when my kids are older.
I think often our own stage of life influences what we want to read, and what we can cope with - at least for the sensitive souls amongst us. I found it really interesting that when I queried my MG with a girl protagonist, two different people came back to say that they found the girl too 'mean'. This took me by surprise, as I don't see her as mean at all. Snarky, sassy, smart, funny, sharp, yes, but not mean.
Then I realized that both these people had preschooler sons of the age of the MC's little brother, who is the target of much of the MC's snark. One of them actually told me she felt defensive of preschoolers like her son as she read, and it turned her off.
I did wonder whether I should research whether any further agents I queried had preschool age sons!
But, seriously, I know I couldn't read HG because I would link the story emotionally to my own kids. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. But, I have a really overactive imagination, and can recall emotional scenes from books and movies that I saw twenty years ago with absolute clarity.
