A review by laurenmitchell
Feed by Mira Grant
5.0
I'd never really been into the zombie apocalypse genre in general, but I decided to give Feed a go because I love reading Mira/Seanan's blog and I love her other writing (e.g. [b:Rosemary and Rue|6294549|Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1)|Seanan McGuire|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51xZgCAG9VL._SL75_.jpg|6478937]).
Well, I was very quickly converted. As a longtime LiveJournal user, I'm very familiar with the concept of blogging, and the blend of that style of journalism, plus the politics, plus the crazy action scenes, made for an absolutely wonderful read. The characters are well fleshed out (sorry) and it's easy to find someone in there to empathise with.
I've just finished reading [b:Deadline|10047818|Deadline|Mira Grant|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mHdK0hhaL._SL75_.jpg|13292985] as well, which I'll refrain from spoiling here, save to remark that it is an incredibly strong follow up to Feed.
Read it. You'll laugh, you'll cry (oh gods, you will cry), it'll change your life.
Rise up while you can.
