Hunger
by Jackie Morse Kessler
3.5 stars.
Student wanted me to read this book so bad he went to the library and checked it out for me.
Quick read (finished in a day) with a creative premise. The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse all embody their roles in some way. This story follows Lisa, or Famine, who has an eating disorder. Good mix of the realistic and mythical. A little cliche in terms of what to expect from a YA plot and characters.
Reminded me a lot of Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson.
