Retellings

If you devoured "The Hunger Games" yet have a knack for humor, "The Hunger Pains" could be a delightful twist for you. The parodic strokes of The Harvard Lampoon use wit to skewer the seriousness of the original, making for a light-hearted read that's both familiar and laugh-inducingly fresh. It's a book that knows its audience: lovers of the original looking for a gleeful poke at the solemnity of Panem's perils.
