Hunger

"Damn this is dark."

"My opinion is similar to the first book. The story is good. I like that the story is written realistically. There is no sugar coating it. The characters are still entertaining and have depth to them. They grow and change throughout the book. <br/><br/>The book mainly follows Hunger. Food is running out. Kids are starving. Some eat their own pets. Some are easily persuaded with food. They are willing to do anything. Since, Sam is leader, after events in the first book, he has to figure out a way to get food. <br/><br/>Just like the first book, there are too many characters and side plots to keep up with. There are a ton of secretary characters that get at least one or two POV."

"The story of the FAYZ has matured from the first book, making for more interesting reading. The kids have been left to survive without adults for three months, and it's no long fun: everyone's hungry. The story also demonstrates the loneliness of being a leader, especially a reluctant fifteen-year-old leader. Motivating the other kids to take an interest in their own survival and the survival of the group is one of the many challenges explored in this book. Michael Grant deftly unfolds the story in a manner that keeps my disbelief happily suspended."

"A Review of the Series: I cannot comprehend how it is even possible for me to have loved this series but against my better judgement, I do. Getting to this last book was both horrifically terrifying and engagingly easy. Had I no need for food, keeping up with my classes, and to pee, I’d have sat down and read this entire series cover to cover. Confusing, enlightening, dangerous, scary, terrifying, beautiful, crazy, maddening, and intricate, this series has had it all. It is yet undecided if it has changed me for the better but it has definitely changed me for good. As a reader, I am blown away by the intricacies of the characters and Michael Grant’s ability to turn one story into many that stretch across 6 books. As a writer, I am fascinated by the overwhelming amount of deep detail and thought he has put into these books. This complicated world full of mayhem and chaos is absolutely stunning from a writing perspective. It’s beautifully written and deeply organized. From the details in the characters to the presence, suppression, and exploitation of their flaws, these books are well done. To Michael Grant himself I say farewell, good riddance, and many thank yous. As much as I very much wish I hadn’t dove so deeply into this series, I am grateful for the experience to read such a one of a kind masterpiece. With great caution, I recommend experiencing the Gone series."

"I don't think I remember to much, but I do remember the death at the beginning. Very unexpected."
