Waiting on Wednesday - 177

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine for bloggers and readers to see what new books are going to be released soon.

Hungry by H.A. Swain

18525734In the future, food is no longer necessary—until Thalia begins to feel something unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She’s hungry.

In Thalia’s world, there is no need for food—everyone takes medication (or “inocs”) to ward off hunger. It should mean there is no more famine, no more obesity, no more food-related illnesses, and no more war. At least that's what her parents, who work for the company that developed the inocs, say. But when Thalia meets a boy who is part of an underground movement to bring food back, she realizes that most people live a life much different from hers. Worse, Thalia is starting to feel hunger, and so is he—the inocs aren’t working. Together they set out to find the only thing that will quell their hunger: real food.

H. A. Swain delivers an adventure that is both epic and fast-paced. Get ready to be Hungry. (from GoodReads)


Can you imagine a world without food? No pizza or ice cream or French fries? That would be horrible. I can't wait to see what this new world looks like. Hungry will be released June 3, 2014.

What an interesting dystopian sounding concept. I'm not truly sure how I feel about this synopsis.

WOW
