Mockstrich season has begun. Welcome to The Hunger But Mainly Death Games, the hilarious Hunger Games parody, and the only book brave enough to suggest that Suzanne Collins' epic trilogy was way more about death than food.
Or at least this is what Bratniss Everclean discovers, when she leaves the comforts of Slum 12, Pandumb's garbage dump, to shortsightedly volunteer for a teenage death tournament. But she soon realizes there are fates worse than death...like weirdly having to date her fellow competitor, and lifelong stalker, Pita Malarkey. Okay, okay, it's not worse than DEATH, but it's still pretty annoying.
Still, with help from her agent Oofie Triptrip and her mentor, Hagridmitch, who's pretty sure he can guide Bratniss to victory in the Tri-Wizard Cup, maybe Bratniss will somehow survive this book that she's the narrator of.
The Hunger But Mainly Death Games is the perfect book for anyone who's going through Hunger Games withdrawal and ready for a wonderfully twisted take on their favorite story and characters. This book is also for the unfortunate teens who are trapped in a Hunger Games at this very moment and could really benefit from some levity. We're here for you, assuming you brought your books into the arena.
The Hunger but Mainly Death Games A Parody (Audible Audio Edition) Bratniss Everclean Arielle DeLisle Tantor Audio Books
Jokes are poorly contrived, overly obvious, and just all around crude. Too many poop jokes and obvious jokes aimed towards five year olds. Take a paraphrased example from the book:"I looked at the Bratniss toy (yes, that's seriously her name, they couldn't get any more creative.) and read the package. Comes with poison spine action and lays real eggs! I was furious. How could they misrepresent me like this? Anyways, I needed to move on to the next store, and to find a place to lay my eggs."
Ha. Ha. My sides. I only give it two stars because a few parts made me chuckle, but nonetheless was a complete waste of time.

The Hunger but Mainly Death Games A Parody (Audible Audio Edition) Bratniss Everclean Arielle DeLisle Tantor Audio Books Reviews
As I read the story, I saw tons of tasteless jokes and a poor reinterpretation of the original Hunger Games. I know that this story is a parody, but come on! Even a kid could do better that this! At least there won't be a sequel to this crap.
Ok, so I am a huge fan of the hunger games. I have read all of the books, and I was looking for something related to them and that is when I stumbled upon this book. I started reading it and I was hooked! It is very funny and it portrays the book in a very true way that makes you laugh your head off! It makes obvious logical points in the book that you were like I was just thinking that when I read the hunger games trilogy. Again, this book is super funny! I would recommend it to anyone! It s HILARIOUS! I recommend this book to you! Read it and be prepared to Laugh, chuckle and snort like a pig dying of laughter. This book is truly the GREATEST parody I have ever read.
Honestly I don't know why people give this one star reviews. Sure it gets kinda bad at the end but that doesn't matter. I would recommend this book to people. But if you don't like it that's fine, but you don't have to insult the author. People think it is good so what that's not illegal. You can like or hate it. Its your opinion. I just like it.
Buying this book was an expensive mistake. Simply substituting names which echo the sound of the character's names is not parody; it's more like the dumb teasing of fifth graders changing Barry to Fairy and the like. Name-plays only work if the new name accurately lambasts some flaw in the character or the writing. For example, in Bored of the Rings, the Harvard Lampoon parody of Lord of the Rings, characters were given product names like Good Gulf (Gandalf) and Frito (Frodo). Though this became tiresome as the novelty wore off, at least it was consistant, and the contrast between the (maybe ever-so-slightly over-inflated) nobility of Tolkien's characters and the crassness of the products was amusing. The whole book constituted a critique of some over-blown aspects of the original, which were so spot-on that even those of us who revere the series had to laugh--repeatedly.
Since the main character in Hunger Games is neither an OCD sufferer nor an overdrawn Dudley Doright Girl Scout, changing her name from Everdeen to Everclean is just stupid. To be honest, I was so disappointed by the first pages of this so-called parody that I read no farther. I suspect that nothing particularly clever was done with the plot either. (Feel free to disabuse me if I am wrong.)
Not just gross, not just (literally) trashy and crappy, but lacking good taste, or any taste.
Most of the jokes are throwaways and don't work together. Those that do form a parodic structure that didn't appeal to me -- page after page of Bratniss living in a sewer, for example. Characters such as Heymitch and Effie are wasted. The ending is just a confused mess.
I would rate it lower, except that it really does deliver what it claims -- a parody of the Hunger Games. Other readers may appreciate it more. I didn't.
Parodies are a strange genre of book.
They don't have to be politically correct. They don't have to worry about things such as character development and suspense. All they have to have to do is be funny, and The Hunger but Mainly Death Games does a heck of a good job at that.
Make no mistake This is not just a parody of The Hunger Games but of pop culture as a whole. Nobody's safe from Bratniss Everclean's taunts. The Authors show a superb understanding of pop culture today, and no how to hit the nail on the head when pointing out how silly it all is.
The great thing about this book is their is something that will appeal to everyone. The puns that are the characters names are enough to make me laugh, but for those who crave some more random in your lives, you be satisfied with jokes about bread racists, Rain Man, and Stephenie Meyer.
80% of the jokes in this book hit for me. This rest of them seemed long and dragged out. at some points the author tried a little to hard to be funny, and the parody suffered from it. However, the jokes that did hit were enough to make this an enjoyable, light read.
And if you do decide to read this book, promise me you will do it with the right mindset. A parody is meant to be funny, not offensive. If this book makes fun of something you like (and it probably will) laugh it off or just forget about it. It's nothing to get mad about.
Pick up The Hunger but Mainly Death Games if you feel like laughing.
