Alex Keane reviewed Feed by Mira Grant (Newflesh Trilogy #1)
Review of 'Feed' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Feed tells the story of three bloggers following a political campaign 26 years after a zombie plague spread through humanity.
In Feed, bloggers have largely filled in the space formerly taken up by mainstream news and entertainment. Georgia Mason is a "newsie" or reporter, while her brother Shaun is an "Irwin" or a person who pokes danger with a stick to see what happens. Their blog is chosen to follow a presidential run across a US still dealing with zombies shambling about.
Mira Grant, a pen name for Seanan McGuire, tells a story filled with equal parts hope and terror, where bad things happen to people who find themselves in the right place at the right time. Her prose is excellent and I really enjoyed the blog excerpts from the characters that open and close each chapter. I can't wait to read the next book.
