The hunger pains


I started reading the book The hunger pains by the Harvard lampoon. The Harvard lampoon is a group of Harvard students  at Harvard college who are comitic actors and writers. A lot of the students that pacticipat in the Harvard lampoon go on to write skits for Saturday night live. So the book that I started reading is called the hunger pains and it Is a parody of the book the hunger games . Even though I have not read the hunger games I have heard really good things about it. The version of the book that I am reading has the same basic  story line as the hunger games but it just has really funny names and the characters have different relationships with each other. The story is basically about this game that is played once a year called the hunger games and 2 people from each district go to play and the main character a girl. Her sister gets chosen from their district as one of the people performing in the hunger games. The hunger games are a fight to the death  in the forest.  When the main characters sister gets chosen and is walking up to the stage to be put into the hunger games someone in the crowd yells out I volunteer as and she says the main characters name. So now where I am in the book is the hunger games are about to begin and the main character is in them.
