- Suddenly it's a world without adults and normal has crashed and burned.
- Me, Myself, and I
- Suddenly there are no adults, no answers. What would you do?
In the blink of an eye, the world changes. The adults vanish without a trace, and those left must do all they can to survive.
But everyone’s idea of survival is different. Some look after themselves, some look after others, and some will do anything for power . . . Even kill.
For Sam and Astrid, it is a race against time as they try to solve the questions that now dominate their lives . . . What is the mysterious wall that has encircled the town of Perdido Beach and trapped everyone within? Why have some kids developed strange powers? And can they defeat Caine and his gang of bullies before they turn fifteen and disappear too?
It isn't until the world collapses around you that you find out what kind of person you really are.
A chilling portrayal of a world with no rules.

You have just GOT to make a film with it! I'd pay a million everytime I'd watch it! I'd pay a million everytime I read that book!

This book was really awesome I couldn't put it down and the ending left me hungry for the next one!!!!!!
BRILLIANT BOOK! I couldn't put it down. At all. I can't wait for Hunger to come out, even though I have to wait till April next year
(I'm in Australia)
Thanks so much Messiah! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment.
This Book Was Freaking Amazing, At First I Was Like "Hmm.. It Sounds Alright" But Then I Read It And The Writer Really Took In the Aspects Of Life No One Thinks About, For Example a girl with an autistic brother? Eating Disorders. He Made The Book So Dark I Loved It
I wish I'd bought this now. I was going to get it but it was over £10 so I didn't ... but the extract sounds so good! I'm buying it asap!
I think it was one of the greatest books in a long time, I've read it twice, bad thing is i live in america so i read it ages ago. CANT WAIT TILL MAY 26th!
Thanks Tofu! Glad you preferred it to Twilgiht
No movie planned at the moment but I think it would work well too.
i just finnished the book
it was one of the best books i have ever read to be honest! so much better that Twilight xD i cant wait for Hunger to come out in the UK next year 
the preview made it sound pretty intense 
is there any word of a film being made because it would be a really good film 
Thanks Toria. Hunger is out already in the United States, but in the UK you'll have to wait until April 2010. I hope you can hang on that long!
