narteest 's review for:

Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler
3.0

The cover was what first caught my eye. The premise of the story was the second thing to catch my attention. The irony that an anorexic girl who denies she's anorexic being famine?

Even though it was a short and fast read I think Kessler did an amazing job with bring alive Lisabeth's condition. It works well by giving her the job of famine, because it gives Lisa the chance to see the world of people suffering and the change she can make with her new gift.

I wish there could have been more character development specially more on the side of the friendship between Lisa and Susanne, as well as war. But it's still good anyway :)

The writing style is good it flows and wraps the reader into its story. The characters have some depth and the plot is excellant.

If you're looking for a story about a girl who's dealing with her own internal conflict, this is one of those.

Worth reading :)
