Synopsis

Mockstrich season has begun. Welcome to The Hunger But Mainly Death Games, the hilarious Hunger Games parody, and the only book brave enough to suggest that Suzanne Collins's epic trilogy was way more about death than food.

Or at least this is what Bratniss Everclean discovers, when she leaves the comforts of Slum 12, Pandumb's garbage dump, to shortsightedly volunteer for a teenage death tournament. But she soon realizes there are fates worse than death . . . like weirdly having to date her fellow competitor, and lifelong stalker, Pita Malarkey. Okay, okay, it's not worse than DEATH, but it's still pretty annoying.

Still, with help from her agent Oofie Triptrip and her mentor, Hagridmitch, who's pretty sure he can guide Bratniss to victory in the Tri-Wizard Cup, maybe Bratniss will somehow survive this book that she's the narrator of. The Hunger But Mainly Death Games is the perfect book for anyone who's going through Hunger Games withdrawal and ready for a wonderfully twisted take on their favorite story and characters. This book is also for the unfortunate teens who are trapped in a Hunger Games at this very moment and could really benefit from some levity. We're here for you, assuming you brought your books into the arena.

As seen here: www.youngadultcritic.blogspot.com Parodies are a strange genre of book. They don't have to be politically correct. They don't have to worry about things such as character development and suspense. All they have to have to do is be funny, and The Hunger but Mainly Death Games does a heck......more

As a big HG fan, I was excited to hear about this book. The title was pretty clever because it is true about the Hunger Games tributes and what happens to them. I thought, if the title can be this clever, the book has to be good, right! I expected more from this parody. However, just in the first cha......more

Goodreads review by Kayla on October 19, 2011

I've obviously only read the first chapter, but I think that's enough to form a primary opinion. It reminded me of Nightlight- which is natural, although the comparison isn't exactly a good thing. I thought Nightlight did to Bella what Tina Fay did to Sarah Palin. It was great because it captured St......more

Goodreads review by Kate on February 24, 2012

Ok, this is coming from a person who completely loved the trilogy and views it as a potential classic. Seriously, though, it finally takes a protagonist and puts them in a conflict that she doesn't single-handedly solve on her own. Katniss is a true figurehead, something that seems to remain true th......more
