Good timing then! I hear from people who read WWZ first that the prefer it to FEED, but since I read FEED first it'll be interesting to see my take on WWZ. :)
I'm not big on zombies either, but these books seem to hit the spot for readers like us! With you feeling meh about FEED, what made you decide to give DEADLINE a try?
I am clearly going to have to re-read, because I did not get that Shaun and Georgia had a sexual relationship. I certainly did get that they were married-couple close, which was why Shaun never had to deal with dating and all the complications involved with that. He had all his emotional needs met by George, and never looked elsewhere. But did they have sex? I don't know.
Are you talking about rereading FEED or DEADLINE? If it's FEED, the possibility of a sexual relationship was much debated in my book club discussion; now if you're referring to DEADLINE, I'd love to know how you interpreted a certain scene!
I did not join the book club until December, I think? So I had not read the comments about FEED. I will have to do that. :)
So maybe I need to re-read both books, but in the comment above , I was talking about re-reading DEADLINE. Which scene are you referring to specifically?
The scene after Shaun has sex with Becks, and then after it's over, he says goodnight to George. That could easily be construed either way, though it's a bit weird to think that after he had sex and someone was tucking him in, he'd assume it was George if they'd never had a sexual relationship. Then again, he was zonked out.
But then when he's apologizing to Becks, that whole section, especially the "But she's your sister" remark all but confirmed, to me, that George and Shaun had a sexual relationship. Then again, I was really looking for it, and if I hadn't been, maybe I wouldn't have read the sections that way.
Feed is the most amazing book I have read in a LONG time, I was utterly gripped by both hands right from the first page. It was the most riveting, gripping, brutal and honest story I have ever read.
It was astonishing - note I am not a particular zombie fan but I am a Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire fan so I made the effort to reserve at the library and so glad I did
Looking forward to Deadline :) its on reserve as well
I didnt read the spoilers but the comment about sex with Shaun/Georgia - they werent related to each other from memory, but I never got any vibe of that in Feed either
The sexual vibe was something very much debated in my book club discussion, so I'll be interested in your take on DEADLINE once you finish it. :) Be sure to come back to chat once you do!

What was your take?
