Summary:
Winning
means wealth, fame, and a life of therapy. Losing means death, but also fame!
This is the Hunger Pains.
When Kantkiss Neverclean replaces her
sister as a contestant on the Hunger
Games—the second-highest-rated reality TV show in Peaceland, behind Extreme Home Makeover—she has no idea
what to expect.
Having lived her
entire life in the telemarketing district’s worst neighborhood, the Crack,
Kantkiss feels unprepared to fight to the death while simultaneously winking
and looking adorable for the cameras. But when her survival rests on choosing
between the dreamy hunk from home, Carol Handsomestein, or the doughy klutz,
Pita Malarkey, Kantkiss discovers that the toughest conflicts may not be found
on the battlefield but in her own heart…which is unfortunately on a
battlefield.
Previously, I read a book by The Harvard Lampoon titled Nightlight. It was a parody of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Once again, they've taken a beloved story and given it a funny twist. Titled, The Hunger Pains.
I am not a hater of The Hunger Games. I love the Hunger Games trilogy and I saw the movie when it came out and I loved everything about the books. But, even lovers of books must have some fun, and it comes in the form of The Hunger Pains. It's just meant to poke a little fun and make the book seem more ridiculous than it actually is. I must say, it is hilarious. It's a quick read that will give you a giggle. I recommend this to Hunger Games fans or non-Hunger Games fans alike.
The Cover: I'm a terrible person. I really like this cover!
