Description
The hilarious instant New York Times bestseller, The Hunger Pains is a loving parody of the dystopian YA novel and film, The Hunger Games.
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 Gamesโthe second-highest-rated reality TV show in Peaceland, behind Extreme Home Makeoverโshe has no idea what to expect. Having lived her entire life in the telemarketing districtโs 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.

5By ๐~Yoongi-Chim~๐I LOVED THIS. I canโt get over Carolโs nickname for Kantkiss ๐คฃ Of course Hunger Games is amazing but if your looking for a less violent and more appropriate version then Hunger Pains is great. Would definitely read again!โ๏ธ 5 stars!!Um what
1By TheEvilArtQueenWhat the heck this is literally the hunger games except trash! How can someone make money by taking a book, writing the exact same thing but change the names! How is this a thing! I just donโt understand and if you actually like this then you should read the hunger games.Lol

1By WookiepumI can believe it! That is a total rip off of the hunger games! That is stupid, renaming all of the care charecters doesn't make it your own! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!! What? Do you think that Suzanne approves of this!!??!! There should be a zero star rating!PARODY
5By Popcornlovesme...I thought that the Hunger Games parody was an excellent book. All though the Hunger Games by Suzan Collins was a LOT better this was a fun read and I enjoyed seeing the book in a different perspective and I would recommend this book to people who like comedy/ parody stuff. 8)Hilarious! ๐๐
5By Ian-1298This book was so funny! Although it did make me almost throw up when they were talking about pita's dandruff. Effu Trinket is so funny and the ending takes on a weird twist- definitely not what I expected! Great book ๐๐๐๐๐Good book
