4.0 out of 5 starsyeah,eat me
By Urthwild on 14 Nov. 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
You could never call it unputdownable, because I put it down twice, whilist I read other novels.
Even so I still managed to read in within a 7 day period, so not bad.
At least the writer attempted a new take on a zombie ate my brain tale.
I have no problem with the change of narrator, but I honestly cannot see where they can go in books 2 and 3. I have an open mind and I like to see things reach a logical conclusion. So yes I will be back for book 2 certainly.

1.0 out of 5 starsScooby Doo meets the occasional Zombie
By Emile Zola reader TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 8 Mar. 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was so looking forward to reading this book based on some of the better reviews but I should have paid heed to the worst ones. I am fairly new to the zombie genre of books and although I knew it was not going to be a zombie-fest, what remained was pure repetitious drivel. Like a previous reviewer I was also thoroughly fed-up with the constant references to the main character's eye condition and found that the triumverate of bloggers were so stereotypical of a kid's cartoon show I really think that this was written with a TV serial in mind - Scooby Doo meets Bart Simpson comes to mind. The adopted brother and sister bloggers are in their late 20s and it's 26 years after the first appearance of zombies yet the brother jumps fences and gets his kicks from baiting and poking zombies with a stick! I thought I'd stumbled on a book meant for teenagers after reading the opening chapter. For the first time in years I found myself flicking whole swathes of pages trying to escape ad nauseum descriptions of the retina sensitivity of that flat, one-dimensional character of the sister.

Half-way through this book I felt a zombie-like rage come over me and finally gave up at page 250. Even the rare bits of zombie action in this book was mild! I didn't find that this book portrayed one bit of 'intelligent writing' ; long-drawn-out details of the bloggers technical equipment did not make interesting reading for me. I can only remember one other book where I could find nothing good to say about it but hey, compared to this load of twaddle, it's looking more like War and Peace. One last word, this reviewer will be first to say, 'I knew it!' if this turns out to be a TV serial like the current fashion for vampire programmes.

5.0 out of 5 starsPolitics & Zombies
By Pablo Cheesecake (The Eloquent Page) TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 12 Feb. 2011
Format: Paperback
"The Good News: We Survived. The Bad News: So Did They".

Imagine a world where scientists have cured cancer and defeated the common cold. Sounds idyllic, but what if this medical breakthrough leads to the creation and distribution of a virus that reanimates the dead. In Feed by Mira Grant we find an Earth where humanity has done just that. The infected are a fact of life and everyone has been forced to live with the constant threat of zombies. In addition everyone has the virus.

Unlike most of the other zombie novels I have read this month there is a rather optimistic feeling to the novel's opening. The world has changed since the time of the initial outbreak, but humanity has persevered. We have learned to adapt. Everyone knows to take precautions when venturing outside, and when moving between secure locations regular blood tests are the order of the day.

The way people receive information has also changed. When the first outbreak occurred it was the blogging community who were first to raise the alarm. Individuals have moved away from traditional media and get their news direct from web based sources. Distinct types of bloggers have evolved including Newsies who, as the name implies, deal with the facts. Fictionals who look after the more creative side of blogging and finally Irwins who essentially poke zombies with a stick to see what happens.

Set in America the story follows three bloggers as they join a senator on the road to report on his presidential campaign. Georgia Mason is a Newsie who owns and writes for After the End Times. Her brother Shaun is the sites Irwin and Buffy is their technical wizard and Fictional.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Read
By Martin Barrett on 8 Nov. 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
By avoiding describing the initial arrival of "zombies" other than in short flashbacks, the author manages to create some three-dimensional characters the reader cares about. This is in marked contrast to some other works in the same genre which, although they are rollicking reads, remain cartoon-like.

Feed creates a world I could see myself in, and the testing regimes taken for granted by the characters are exactly what would develop.

You don't even have to be a zombie fan to enjoy it, as it stands up as an entertaining read in its own right. So much so that it's the first and only zombie book I have ever passed on to my wife...and there's no stronger a recommendation than that.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Different Kind of Zombie Novel.
By Siobhan on 31 Oct. 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
It is strange when a zombie book focuses more upon conspiracies than upon the actual zombie fighting.

Due to that fact I managed to love this book more than I had expected. Don’t get me wrong I am disappointed by the lack of zombie fighting scenes; I simply came to accept it due to the fact that it’s a unique take. If such a thing is to be repeated in another book I doubt I’ll be able to handle it, yet because it is my first time dealing with such a thing I managed to enjoy this one. The whole ‘shoot first ask questions later’ rationale still exists… merely that people do ask the questions after.

In fact, the whole book is made up with our characters asking questions.

Following three journalists as they follow an election campaign in zombie infested America we’re given an interesting take upon the zombie world. Usually the world is in tatters by this point in human history – everyone either dead or trying to survive the end of days – yet in this book humanity has managed to hang on surprisingly well. In fact, humanity hasn’t really changed as much as you would think. There are a lot of regular blood tests, people are generally afraid to step outside, and keeping pets over a certain size is a very bad idea – but a lot of the modern world still exists.

Except, there seems to be a massive mystery behind this zombie infected world and our journalists are willing to dig to the bottom of the mystery no matter what the consequences may be.

As a whole, I was disappointed by the lack of zombie fighting scenes yet I enjoyed it more than I expected to once I realised where the story was heading.
