 That blog post got me 12 years ago when I first read this and it just got me again 😭😭

I notice the normalized disability rep and aro/ace coded main character this time around and appreciate the (even if it was unknown to me at the time) contribution to my bookish upbringing those years ago.

Original review 👇🏼
This novel is a successful blend of zombies, politics and blogging. There's just enough of each element to make it appeal to many different readers, some of which are not entirely comfortable with all three elements. I myself was not fully on board with the blogging side of the novel, but I was converted easily. 
Feed is one of the best books I've read, and it changed my outlook on life. Sure, it's a "zombie" book, but it's got depth. It's a book that shows true familial love, loyalty to one's beliefs, and what it means to be alive.
