Review:

Most sequels fall flat when compared to the first book. But I'm pleased to say that Hunger was just as good if not better than Gone. I enjoyed Hunger as the characters were developing and the struggles the kids faced made for thrilling reading. This book also highlights the flaws in human nature, how peoples morals and sense of right and wrong leave them when faced with excruciating hunger. It also shows how groups are formed and mob mentality can overwhelm people grouped together in some situations so they act differently than they normally would. Overall, a brilliant sequel and I can't wait to continue the series.

Recommended Audience:

Anyone who hasn't  picked up the Gone series yet.
