Book 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Reader's Quest Review January 24, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I usually love reading parodies (like Nightlight); however Bratniss Everclean's The Hunger But Mainly Death Games has to be one of the worst parodies I have ever read because it wasn't even funny. I thought I would like it because of how many 5 star reviews there were, but sadly I could not like it. The only good thing is that I bought it on my Kindle and won't have to look at it ever again.

Unlike the original Hunger Games series, this particular parody had almost no action. It didn't even logically follow through on the plot points because many points were negated repeatedly. The characters were very Out of Character to the point that I felt certain that I wasn't reading a HG series parody, expect for the fact that title of the book is used so many times that it is obvious it's trying to be a HG parody.

The humor wasn't even funny to me because fart and trash jokes aren't my thing after they were repeated so many times (the first 2 times where enough and after that it got old fast). I normally like humor if it's subtle; the humor in this book is not subtle at all. If you have to rely on Harry Potter, Twilight, Lady Gaga and Ke$ha jokes and references to make the book sound funny or relevant, then I definitely think and know that is a sign of very weak writing (other than the numerous grammar errors, and there were a ton of those in this book).

I would not recommend this book at all. I wish I had gotten the sample before purchasing the book; but sadly I bought it when it was a Kindle freebie, and I still thought it was terrible after I finished reading it.

I know it's only 99 cents, but I'd be pissed if I'd actually spent money on this book. In order for a parody to be successful, the writer has to either "get" the original and have the talent and skill to turn it on its head. This writer doesn't... which explains why this book is only 99 cents.

It seems like this person threw it together in an afternoon, possibly after several bong hits, in an effort to capitalize on the success of the original series.

I recommend not wasting your time. There are other, better, parodies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Written by a 7th grade boy? April 28, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you like sophomoric humor (and I do) you won't like this book because the "humor" is several grades below sophomore. It starts off nicely and I actually thought I was in for a treat but my treat slowly turned into a trick. Pulling characters from other stories (Harry Potter for one) and executing Stephanie Meyers for the crime of writing horrible fiction detracted from the parody and was downright distasteful (like them or not). I had to will myself to finish the story if only to be able to comment on it here. I began reading the story aloud to my two daughters (12 & 15) who are fans of the REAL trilogy but I lost them by the halfway point of the story because it "got too stupid" for them. The author had a fantastic opportunity to create a clever, fun parody of the biggest story since Harry Potter and as I said, he/she began OK. Unfortunately, they lost their way or their creativity and sunk into the doldrums of idiocy and crassness to finish a very ho-hum book. I only give it 2 stars because there are so many 1 star reviews, I'm afraid no one will read this! For God's sakes, spend your money on a good book! If you really want to find out for yourself, wait until this shows up on a freebie list. It shouldn't be long now. This was the first e-book I actually paid for and I'm embarrassed to admit that.
