My
second response is to Adele’s review of the book Hunger, by Michael
Grant. I read this book a couple years ago, and found it a REALLY captivating
and good book. (I LOVE science fiction!) J
A point that she made that I found very interesting was that Zil and Hunter
used to be friends. (At this point in the story, Zil is trying to kill hunter
for having special powers.) When all the grown-ups are wiped from their town,
it is hard to control all the kids. People turn against each other very
quickly, as groups are made and leaders start to emerge. These two kids, used
to be good friends, but their differences separated them, even causing an
attempted murder to arise. And when chaos like this starts to happen, there
seems like nothing can stop it, but what the kids really need is a leader. And that
is what Sam starts to become for them. This is something that Adele mentioned
as well, but it is funny how these young kids (none of them over 15) put all
their trust into this one boy who seems like he knows what he is doing. But I suppose
in the desperate times, they are willing to do anything.
