Did their complaints to the front desk get them a new room? What was the smell, anyway?

HUNGER releases!
This YA by one of the first UF authors I fell in love with is getting incredible reviews! This looks like such an an amazing book.
"HUNGER is not just a good book. It is a great book. It is funny and sad, brilliant and tragic, and most of all, it speaks truth. I adore it."
—Rachel Caine, author of The Morganville Vampires

"Jackie Morse Kessler hits it out of the park with HUNGER. Although this is a book with anorexia at its heart, there are no hidden lectures or story-slowing asides. Instead, Kessler deftly weaves the heroine Lisa's struggle with food into a beautifully realized mythology, complete with a wisecracking and sexy Death and a new spin on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. An absolute must-read!"
—Julie Kenner, author of Good Ghouls Do
"Powerful, fast-paced, hilarious, heart-wrenching, vivid, sad and most of all real, HUNGER is a breathtaking portrayal of a difficult topic that also deftly ties in with the interesting and scary apocalypse. Though short, this story will grab the reader and never let go."
—RT Magazine, 4.5 stars

Hmm, Hunger does sound very intriguing!
I'm with Chris :)
And I really don't think I want to know what the smell was....nope....not at all! *hides*
This was my first try with her work, but I did enjoy Hunger. It's one of those books that I would try to get every teenage girl to read, because that compulsion to be skinny is truly a disease, and the author does such a great job getting inside the psyche of an anorexic teen.
