I just came back from a books signing today. I went to get the book, Starters signed today by the author, Lissa Price. It is said on the cover of the book that “Fans of The Hunger Games will love it.”

What the inside front cover says about the book:

HER WORLD IS CHANGED FOREVER.

Callie lost her parents when the Spore Wars wiped out everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, are on the run, living as squatters with their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie.

Callie’s only hope is Prime Destinations, a disturbing place in Beverly Hills run by a mysterious figure known as the Old Man. He hires teens to rent their bodies to Enders-seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in Callie’s head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, and going out with a senator’s grandson.

It feels almost like a fairy tale, until Callie discovers that her renter intends to do more than party-and that Prime Destinations’ plans are more evil than Callie could ever have imagined….

A woman that works at the bookstore said that the author will be big some day. She won’t be as big as J.K. Rowling but she will be big. This book is part a duology. The second book is called Enders and will be out in December 2012. Enders refers to the seniors that are renting the teen’s bodies. The author mentioned that there will also be a movie for this book. She said that she wrote the script for the movie herself based off of her book. There is also a Facebook game that you can play. You can find the link to the game at the book’s website, StarterBooks.com.

I haven’t read the book yet but I recommend all to read the book.
