Publisher Description
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.

"I loved this book. It made fun of The Hunger Games while still (in some sense) praising it. I love how it parodies other things that have nothing to do with The Hunger Games but it's just casually slipped in anyway. And it works. I'm not really a fan of book parodies, but this is an exeption."

The Hunger But Mainly Death Games Listener Reviews

" This is NOT comic gold. The jokes are like those you would tell a five year old. I could't get past the first few pages. Crosses the line from funny parody to useless vomit. "
— Kelly, 2/19/2014 -
" A humorous parody enough to fill me with laughter. "
— Vince, 2/1/2014 -
" 95% idiotic. 5% hilarious. I think that 5% was worth it, though. "
— Aliyah, 2/1/2014 -
" The sole redeeming quality in this book was the scene with Stephanie Meyer's execution. If it weren't for that one page, I'd be screaming for my 99 cents back. "
— Dee, 1/26/2014 -
" I know I wrote this book, but I hope you will believe me when I tell you it is the greatest book on the planet, which it is. "
— Bratniss, 1/20/2014 -
" Quick, fun read. It's a parody - lots of funny stuff. A few of the jokes fell flat or dragged on a bit unnecessarily, but the parody was respectful of the Hunger Games and got in a few good digs at the vampire romance genre. There should be an extra star for that, right? "
— Anna, 12/30/2013 -
" Mr. Rusch recommended it to Humantites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
— Rebecca, 12/20/2013 -
" Couldn't even finish it, it was too painful to read. "
— Gemma, 12/13/2013 -
" This was a not-very-good parody compared to others I have read. The jokes were lame and try-hard and it just got heavy and boring. "
— Kyle, 11/26/2013 -
" I found this on my Kindle app this morning and read it in a few hours. Some parts were funny, I s'pose. Others tried too hard. Nevertheless, a fun, quick read. "
— Alexandra, 11/16/2013 -
" I thought this book was supposed to be funny. Nope, it's not, unless you like jokes about trash. "
— iamMe, 9/19/2013 -
" Oh God. This was simultaneously funny and HORRIFYING. "
— Katie, 9/15/2013 -
" Review written on kindle, so...sorry for the errors. I could write a giant review on this, but I will just say I loved it. good light read before a really dark read... "
— bookwormforeverandalways, 8/22/2013 -
" funny but very absurd, perhaps too much so. Feel like reading 5005 Hunger Games jokes all in a row. "
— Byron, 6/13/2013 -
" Got it on my kindle for 99cents. Can't even finish it, "
— Kimber, 6/7/2013 -
" I honestly do not know how I was able to read this entire book. It was stupid and pointless, and yes some could say it was funny, but it was mostly stupid. "
— Nicole, 1/4/2013 -
" Had its funny moments but was very childish and immature all the other times... Don' t think I' ll be reading any more parodies... "
