Book Overview
Thou art the Black Rider. Go thee out unto the world. Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she's been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home--her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power--and the courage to fight her own inner demons? A wildly original approach to the issue of eating disorders, Hunger is about the struggle to find balance in a world of extremes, and uses fantastic tropes to explore a difficult topic that touches the lives of many teens.

Great

It's more of a novella than a book, but still great.
An eye opener book and a good twisted on the four horseman

I liked how she incorporated the tire story from her life to make you open your eyes and seek help. Lisabeth thinks everyone is against her, her little voice in her head is telling her bad things. By then end she realizes she does need help and she doesn't want to die.
