Mental problems, I guess. She's older than me and this was a few years ago, so I don't remember that much about it. My mom told me she would make up stories about how One World is really evil and how no one knew the truth but her." With the title of the book being “Hungry”, I presumed it would largely revolve around the concept of being hungry. But the author barely covered Apple and Basil’s mutual feeling of hunger and how it affected them. At the beginning Apple would constantly complain about being hungry, but later on, she somehow suddenly stopped having the feeling. The isolation is anxiety-inducing and the tension is perfect….Well-written and gripping with a strong conclusion, The Hunger is an inventive take on an already morbidly fascinating historical event.

I didn’t know a huge amount about Dent before I read this. I would recognise the name and face, but not much more. However, the way this book was written was so profoundly personal and honest. It has made me feel like I have a connection with her. I chose this book for the power of the story that he tells – the founding of Grameen Bank and the success that it has had and the implications of the whole micro-lending aspect to improve agriculture, to reduce hunger, to advance this green revolution; looking at what he was doing, the importance of making capital available to the very poorest people who need help to get started on the climb out of poverty. I'm usually not one for long chapters (yeah, also count how many times I'll say this book took me out of my comfort zone) but I didn't mind their length in Hungry. The fact that their theme revolved around memories of specific foods that marked Dent's life was: a) a nice thread throughout the book, b) so very fitting with Dent's profession. Forgive the pun, but I absolutely ‘devoured’ Grace Dent’s memoir ‘Hungry’ - a delicious, culinary walk down memory lane, both for Grace and the reader.Peter Bloom (December 19, 2014). "Subversive message behind "Hunger Games": rebellion works". Denver Post. Ross Raisin made his name in 2008 with God’s Own Country, vividly narrated in the strong Yorkshire dialect of a disturbed young man adrift. It was so pungent that readers expected more from that same rural world. Instead, in Waterline (2011) we got a Clyde shipbuilder enduring the loneliness of grief. Then came A Natural (2017), with its subtly sustained portrait of a gay footballer carrying on his career in the lower leagues where the spotlights don’t reach. Each time, the immersion in particular circumstances is so complete that I have caught myself wondering if Raisin is a farmer, a shipbuilder, a footballer, a carer. Then I remember with relief that I don’t need to know: he is a novelist. Escalating terror and excitement, leading to an ending that’s beyond unsettling… Katsu does a remarkable job of transforming a true story into a hard-to-put-down work of fiction…. Unique, literary and entertaining.” —The Oklahoman The story also reflected current issues such as world hunger. Swain actually felt the most concerned about the state of the world, environment and society as a teenager. She sees many teenagers now have the similar curiosity and passion to fight for a better future, which inspired her to write the novel about these two teenagers.

Before I get into this review, I need to let you know that to understand this story, get the humour, and enjoy the end you have to read the intro in which Michael explains what happens when he is hungry and asks the reader to join in with his weird suggestions of what to eat. a b Carroll, Rebecca (2017-06-08).

Retrieved 2017-06-15.Collins says she drew inspiration for the series from both classical and contemporary sources. Her main classical source of inspiration is the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, in which, as a punishment for past crimes, Minos forces Athens to sacrifice seven youths and seven maidens to the Minotaur, which kills them in a vast labyrinth. Collins says that even as a child, she was stunned by the idea since "it was just so cruel" to force Athens to sacrifice its own children.
