    The Hunger Games Would Be Proud.

    I am one of The Hunger Games BIGGEST fans, and I do not find this offensive at all. It is just to make people laugh and to honor the humor that can be brought to any novel.

    Hilarious!!!!

    Absolutely hilarious. I got the sample and will definitely be getting the book itself. I love The Hunger Games, and this is a greatly amusing parody of it. Can't wait to read the whole book!!

    None of You Can Spell So How Can You Even Read?

    The only thing I'm making fun of (besides this hilarious book) is how many people are freaking out. Also, barely any of you can spell. It's a PARODY. I seriously doubt Suzanne Collins cares. She's still making money. I personally LOVED The Hunger Games and love the merchandise too (including this "offensive" book) and I think you all need to chill out.

    Stop

    Stop complaining that this is disrespectful. The author was just trying to make a hilarious parody. People do it on youtube but you dont complain. Whats the difference?
