I think the links are breeding...
The trouble with having little spiders that wander around the Internet looking for reviews is that I wind up with a lot of reviews. And once I have them, I want to post them, because that is how my brain is wired. And then? Then I drown in a sea of links.
Travels Through Iest has chosen Feed as a favorite read of 2010. To quote, "Feed is a zombie apocalypse novel mixed with political thriller. It sounds insane and it kind of is, but it's well written, cleverly realised with a remarkably believable future world." Go team insanity!
Oh, hey, and the Word Zombie also chose Feed as a favorite read of 2010. To quote, "This is that rare combination of a great story, that also happens to be a great zombie story." Hooray!
Vampires and Tofu (another great blog name!) has posted a review of Feed, and says, "Feed is a wonderful story of zombies, social commentary, politics, religion and the struggle to hold onto the ideals of a nation. It is intelligent and heartbreaking and don't be surprised if you find yourself shedding a tear when you read it." This works for me.
To give you an idea of how long it's taking me to clear the link lists these days, here's a Halloween plug for Feed from Pretty In Dayton, who says, "Primarily, this was just a fun read. But it is the first book that I have read that centered on zombies that made me cry. Yes I'm a sap, but I don't usually cry when reading books. I enjoyed the characters very much. And you know, since it's a zombie book, people die. Apparently this book is to be a series (Newsflesh). I can't wait to read what comes next!" And I can't wait for you to read it.
And here's an SFReader Forum review of Feed, which says, "I'd strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys zombies, political thrillers, or anything along those lines from the fiction section. It reminds me most strongly of Stephen King's novels, although it is not a rip-off of any of Stephen King's books."
Any review roundup that ends with a Stephen King comparison is a good review roundup from my perspective. Later!
