Review: The Hunger

The Hunger by Alma Katsu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THE HUNGER is an absolutely stunning narrative fiction of the misguided and tragic Donner Party Expedition to California of Summer 1846 - Spring 1847. Although not nonfiction, nonetheless the lives, backstories, and fates of those intrepid (or not) pioneers spring to vivid life. It would be a frozen hearted reader indeed who could not resound with these characters, thrill to the adventures, weep for the losses, fear the constant supernatural overtones. THE HUNGER is a novel no Thinking Reader can afford to overlook.
