Hunger: the second book in the cult YA thriller series GONE – with a bold new look for 2021 (The Gone Series)

This book is a brilliant follow up to GONE, explaining many main plots, and still leaving questions in my head.Set 3 months after the final battle, the town is running dangerously low on food. Sam, now mayor, is dealing with new problems, some important,some stupid. After the death of a formerly unknown character, new mutations are discovered, New powers are discovered, and a gap between kids with powers and kids without is formed. Love is seen, strange things occur, two new characters rise towards power, illness strikes for some in different ways and all out chaos unfolds.There are a few things I would of liked to see but I will not reveal them due to spoilers. Totally worth the money IF you have read GONE. Otherwise there are main plot details you will not understand in the slightest. *****

This is the 2nd book in what i would call an absolutely amazing series of books, i only discovered this series when my girlfriend bought me the first book because she thought it looked good and after reading the first book i was just completely hooked and had to go and buy the whole series!.The book picks up straight where the first left off and the kids of perdido beach now have to contend with life after nearly all the food has been squandered, you have to read through wondering how they are going to get their next meals... will they eat their pets?? will they eat insects?? or.... will they even eat each other?!?! all of these are possible unless the kids manage to find a new food source and fast.The books concept is amazing, take away all the adults, take away the law, and throw in the fact that some kids arent exactly...... normal amongst other things and what you have is an amazing series which is just un-put-downable.Overall my favourite book series so far and a 110% recommendation that people try it.

"Hunger" by Michael Grant is like a suspenseful thrill ride through the FAYZ that had me hooked from the first page. The way Grant describes the struggles of the characters dealing with the sudden disappearance of adults and the scarcity of resources is so vivid, making it feel like I'm right there with them. The hunger and desperation these kids face are real, and it's both heart-wrenching and thrilling to see how they navigate through it. The supernatural elements and evolving powers add an extra layer of excitement, making this book a page-turner that kept me on the edge of my seat. It's a must-read for anyone who loves a mix of survival, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural!

Oh My God. Those were the words I uttered out loud when I put this book down. The second book in the Gone series is simply put 'terrifyingly amazing'.It had everything the first one had... but intensified tenfold. Aside from the kids of Perdido beach having to deal with new mutations, terrifying creatures and old enemies they are now faced with a new enemy... hunger. As such they are forced to go to some unbelievable extremes. Ones that I found quite disturbing and horrifying.I simply could not get enough of horror of this story. It is written so compellingly and realistically. And I think that's what makes Michael Grant a terrific author. Its the way he is able to so accurately depict how children would act in this type of situation. How they would cope and what lengths they would go to when forced by starvation.Hunger is one long thrill ride. Again we are told the story from multiple POV's, which again, I really loved. It is the only way of showing the magnitude of the events of these books. And also helps a great deal to get to know the different characters and what they are going through individually. And in the case of Hunger made for a very epically told ending.If I could have one complaint about Hunger (and this is the reason why I knocked off half a star) it would be the length. At nearly 600 pages it is quite a 'beast' of a book, particularly for the YA genre. But this is a very small complaint and did not stop me from enjoying every minute of the story.The Gone series is quickly shaping up to be one of my favourite YA series' and I would certainly recommend to any YA book lover as it has a bit of everything. Great characters, a show stopping story line of YA sci fi adventure and dysopian mixed together and is not afraid to step over the line with its shocking themes. If you've read Gone then Hunger is a MUST read.

I was very happy that the grandsons were pleased to get it, and read it!

Plutôt pour jeunes adultes, il y a des sujets un peu lourds pour enfants...beaucoup comme hunger games.

My daughter loves the series.

Wow! Another great book by the author of Gone, Michael Grant. This book is the sequel to the beloved Gone book. After all the adults disappear and a mysterious, master-of-illusion dome drops down on the fictional town of Perdido Beach, the children stuck inside have another trouble, they're going to starve to death! Is the dome going to come down? Maybe, you'll have to read it to find out! Praise for Gone

Amazing. Even better than the first one. Definitely reccomend to everyone. Already hunting for the next book. Really happy with it.
