Christina's Book Review - Feed

By Christina Castillo

You know, I have tried to write this review about 500 times and for some reason I can’t get the words right. At least not to my mind. Nothing seems to sound right or maybe it just feels like anything I say just doesn’t do it justice. So, I am going to take the easy way out and simply say….READ IT! The author’s name is Mira Grant although some may actually know her by her actual name Seanan McGuire as she writes books under this name as well.

If you like zombies, if you like viruses, if you like politics (or at least enjoy reading about them) and if you want to read a book that is well written and says more about human nature than the zombies that inhabit the world then you will like this book. I could give you a synopsis, but let’s face it, you can get that from the back cover or from Amazon or you can even read the first chapter at Feed’s very own website. The website alone is entertaining in and of itself.

Suffice it to say, Mira Grant masterfully paints a frightening world in which politicians are scarier than zombies , the zombies are just a fact of daily life that the public have come to accept as not only something they have to live with, but something that most of them will ultimately become. And underlying the whole tragedy is a scandal, a scandal that Grant only alludes to in this book and has kept me clamoring for the release date of the new book for months. I urge you to check it out.
