meganmilks 's review for:

Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler
2.0

huh - this one was kind of insulting. it has a sort of Christmas Carol mechanism - Death comes and turns anorexic Lisabeth (the Ebenezer of the book) into Famine, which gives her the ability to ride across time/space to see all the things in the world that are bigger than her, all the hungers that are not self-imposed. cue recovery narrative. the end.

interesting idea. but.

also, Death is Kurt Cobain (as if young adults in 2010 know who Kurt Cobain is?).
