 This is probably better as an audiobook because of the ad interruptions in the Feed. That was my favorite, most authentic part. I really do think that if this book had been written by someone less juvenile, even by YA standards, it would've been so much better. It is an amazing concept but the most fascinating parts of it are not explored at all. Why are there lesions on people? Why does the Feed exist? What are the moral / socioeconomic / social implications of the Feed? Why have teenagers become so shallow and insufferable, was it just the Feed? I hated every character in this and maybe that was on purpose. I do think no matter how short attention spans get and how shallow people get there can still be something interesting, even if its more train wreck than insight, that could've been injected into these cardboard cutouts. What wasted potential.
