4.0

I (no pun intended) consumed this book. I loved the author's entire premise of seeing how a zombie disease would actually work, and what the world looks like afterwards.

Content warnings:

There is some animal death in this book, including (offscreen) unnecessary killing of a named animal. (unnecessary meaning by humans, animal wasn't a zombie.)

5.0

I didn't expect a book with zombies in it to punch me in the gut, but it did. This is not just a zombie book and if you don't like journalism or reading about the political ramifications of a zombie apocalypse then this book might not be for you.

But, as for me, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. It had me bawling like a baby. It had me emotionally invested in these characters. This book was fantastic, mind-blowing, and emotionally draining.

And I absolutely loved every second of it!

4½ stars rounded up to 5.

Feed by Mira Grant is a post-apocalyptic book about life/media moving on after the end. Set in 2039 after zombies rose in 2014, it posits a world of dizzying connectedness and loneliness. It’s a political thriller, a monster story, and a wild ride.

Feed’s portrayal of politics and life after the Rising dances on a fine line between world building and info-dumping, and I think it mostly gets it right. The characterization has the right level of attention, given what the narrator would be expected to know. The interstitial passages add insight and depth to the secondary characters, acknowledging a fallible narrator without making her an unreliable one. It sets up preconceptions which are challenged in Feed, shaken in Deadline, and shattered in Blackout. I love these books, I come back to this series about once every two years and it never gets old.
