Tragic business, as several people are killed, but nothing that isn't happening on an everyday basis all over the world. When a zombie outbreak happens along the campaign trail, at first it seems like business as usual.
The exclusive coverage they'll get could make their careers, as well as the careers of their blogging associates. Somewhere in this new world, Georgia and her brother Shaun, respected news bloggers, are selected to accompany Senator Ryman in his campaign to become leader of the Republican party, then President of the United States. Zombies are still an ever-present threat, and one that scares a lot of people out of ever leaving their homes, but life goes on and a new normal is achieved. More than 20 years later, people have mostly set into their complacent routines. The resulting outbreaks are devastating and change the world forever. When a few enterprising folks steal these cures and release them to the public without proper testing, they discover the unfortunate side effect of the combination of the two: zombies. Scientists have created a cure for the common cold. Some of you will disagree with me on that decision, but that's ok. I have no hesitation, though, in letting this one be the third. In that time, I have reviewed hundreds of books, two of which I've given a full 5 pints of blood. When I announced a zombie theme for this month, she told me I had to include Feed on my list, and since the library had a copy, I figured I might as well.įolks, I have been writing book reviews for nearly 4 years, starting in Feb 2008. Last year this was one of her book club picks, and she wrote a raving review (that I didn't read at the time because it was spoilerific). Yes, I am shallow, but that's not a new revelation. And that's probably part of the reason I've never picked it up before.
So why don't I feel more than "meh" about this cover? I don't know, but it's never jumped out at me, despite having been on my radar for quite some time. It's certainly different from what else is out there, and the blood is effective without going over-the-top. I like the idea behind it a lot, and while I usually do like simplicity in a book cover, this one just isn't very striking.
Having read the book, I can understand how relevant the cover is.
