Publisher Description
Feed is an electrifying and critically acclaimed novel of a world a half-step from our own that the New York Times calls “Astonishing” — a novel of zombies, geeks, politics, social media, and the virus that runs through them all — from New York Times bestseller Mira Grant.
The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beat the common cold. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED.
Now, twenty years after the Rising, Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives—the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The truth will out, even if it kills them.

"this story has the zombies as just part of the story of the characters rather than the main feature. Either i'm not up to date on my zombie literature or this is an original take of life after zombies. Like Dark Sun Rising, I like this because it's not a romance/bodice ripper (someone used that to describe Atlas Shrugged and i almost wondered if i got the wrong book) it's about a story and the people wrapped up in it and liked it. Since this was audio, the narrator did a good job - it felt like I was listening to a good story teller telling me a story but in the first chapter, it did sound like she had a cold or was wearing her retainer - either I got used to it or it went away in later chapters-can't decide on that one but it didn't really detract from the overall storytelling."

Quotes
-
“Zombie stories are proliferating, but Grant puts her own spin on the theme…What sets this one apart is the characterization, two well-developed protagonists and a good secondary cast…Corruption, mystery, danger, and excitement abound.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars) -
“Gripping, thrilling, and brutal…[Grant] has crafted a masterpiece of suspense with engaging, appealing characters who conduct a soul-shredding examination of what’s true and what’s reported.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review) -
Astonishing ... a fascinating exploration of the future.
— New York Times -
While there's plenty of zombie mayhem, political snark, and pointedly funny observations here, the heart of this book is about human relationships, which are still the most important thing in the world...even in a world where you might have to shoot the person you love most in the head, just to stop them from biting off your face.
— Locus on Feed -
"Feed is a proper thriller with zombies. Grant doesn't get carried away with describing her world or the virus. She's clearly thought both out brilliantly, but she doesn't let it get in the way of a taut, well-written story.
— SFX on Feed -
The story starts with a bang as corruption, mystery, danger and excitement abound.
— RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars) on Feed -
Gripping, thrilling, and brutal... Shunning misogynistic horror tropes in favor of genuine drama and pure creepiness, McGuire has crafted a masterpiece of suspense with engaging, appealing characters who conduct a soul-shredding examination of what's true and what's reported.
— Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Feed -
Intelligent and intense, a thinking-person's post-apocalyptic zombie thriller set in a fully-realized future that is both fascinating and horrifying to behold.
— John Joseph Adams on Feed -
I can't wait for the next book.
— N.K. Jemisin on Feed -
It's a novel with as much brains as heart, and both are filling and delicious.
— The A. V. Club on Feed -
OK, all of you readers who want something weighty and yet light, campy and yet smart, horror with heart, a summer beach read that will stay in your head and whisper to you "what if," Deadline is just what you are looking for.
— RT Book Reviews on Deadline -
Deft cultural touches, intriguing science, and amped-up action will delight Grant's numerous fans.

Intelligent and exciting...raises the bar for the genre.

" Interesting to combine Zombies with politics. Very good story. I loved the woman narrator. The main character Georgia is fantastic she really makes you feel you're a part of what is going on. Enjoy! "
— Ghost, 8/18/2015 -
" I loved this. It is pitch-perfect ala Buffy seasons after 2001-- dark and full of absurd but terrible horrors. The lead characters are quite good, strong, and likeable. The storyline with zombie framework is Watergate election season, and the Scooby team of crack reporters is on the job. Really, this was great, and I am really looking forward to Blackout, right after World War Z. "
— Esonja, 2/4/2014 -
" I LOVED this book! yes, it had its lows, but it was amazing! i was in tears for the last half of the book i was so attached. "
— Kimberly, 2/1/2014 -
" Enjoyed all of the Feed series. "
— Janet, 12/25/2013 -
" Mission accomplished! Managed to finish this today. Loved it. Was heavy going for the first half but well worth it. Gutted that I don't have the next one with me! "
— Lou, 12/21/2013 -
" Shocked me when Buffy, Georgia and Lois (The Cat) Died.. "
— Martyn, 11/18/2013 -
" Powerful book about journalism in a post-apocalyptic zombie filled world. Some things about this novel annoyed me though, but it was all-round a good read. And only 99p. Bargain. "
— Maisie, 11/18/2013 -
" Extraordinary book. Very creative. I see so many parallels in the various parts to the relationships between living and dead, parent and child, generation and generation. What a great book! "
— Fred, 10/30/2013 -
" Holy crap! The best zombie book I've read, and one of the best books overall I've read in the past few years. Can't even describe how much I loved it! "
— John, 10/25/2013 -
" Not your typical zombie novel. There are zombies, it's post-Rising, but the world has moved on. I'm a bit of a political junkie, and this was a great book about national US politics, set in a zombie world. It's a thriller, with zombies on the side. Great reading! "
— Sara, 10/4/2013 -
" Amazingly well written for sci-fi zombie novel. Read for my book club, everyone loved it, no complaints except it's only available in MMPB. "
— Hilda, 2/2/2013 -
" Good stuff. Will likely read the sequels at some point. "
— Brady, 1/22/2013 -
" This took me a while to get into but once I did I was hooked. Probably one of the most intense and detailed zombie/ virus books I've ever read. Am now on Book 2 :) "
— Polstar, 5/10/2012 -
" Really enjoyed this. Lots of good work on how a zombie virus would actually work. Looking forward to continuing this series. "
— Denise, 6/22/2011 -
" I completely enjoyed this book. I don't remember reading another zombie story like this one. Can't wait to read the second in the series. "
— Tbanj, 5/23/2011 -
" Zombies & political intrigue. Could not put this down! "
— Nikki, 5/21/2011 -
" A political thriller set in a zombie-filled future in which bloggers are the real investigative journalists. Well worth a read. "
— Matt, 5/18/2011 -
" I dreamt about it. "
— Victoria, 5/16/2011 -
" One of the smartest zombie novels I've ever read. Grant paints a future that feels real (and kind of terrifying). I'm convinced that if It really happens, it will go something like this.... <br/> <br/>Brilliant! "
— NCLit, 5/15/2011 -
" Calling all fans of the walking dead. This book is just as exciting and well-written as "The Passage" <br/>by Cronin. "
