Sounds like something I might enjoy, unless the conflicted lesbian makes me want to throw it across the room. If I borrow it from you, though, I'm less likely to do that. :)

Honestly, she might make you want to throw the book at someone's head. She feels like a straight man's version of a lesbian -- a straight man who doesn't even know many lesbians, at that. But if you can avoid being overly frustrated by that part, I think you would enjoy the rest. :-)

As for Feed... Not yet. I don't know why, but the idea's just not been gripping me. I think I'm just done with zombies. I'll give it back to you next time you're here, because I don't think I'm likely to read it any time soon.
