This book, while eminently readable as a standalone novel, is even THAT much better as the perfect ending to an amazing series.
Trust me, anyone who reads all 12 novels, novellas, and short stories in the “Newsflesh” cinematic universe is, like me, going to wake up with a massive fiction hangover!

Feedback by Mira Grant is refreshing. It’s zombies, politics, blogging, lesbians, a platonic marriage, the first genderqueer character I’ve ever read, death, and conspiracies. It’s an Irish girl in a sundress with a winsome smile as she shoots a zombie raccoon.
If that doesn’t make you want to read it, I don’t know what could. It mentions some main plot events from Feed, but, to be fair, Blackout mentions a pretty big event in this book. If you intend to read the whole series, I recommend starting with the original trilogy (Feed, Deadline, Blackout) before coming here, but if you are reading either one book or nothing, make damn sure you read this one.
