FEED spoiler party!

Okay, folks, I've been asked for it, and here it is: the spoiler party for Feed. Anything goes in the comments on this post only. If you haven't read the book, I ask that you not click. If you have, feel free to jump in, ask questions, discuss, or just yell at me. I'm cool either way.

Game on!

Really? I knew she was going to die before I hit Book 2, and I was so sure of it by the end of Book 2 that I checked the back to be sure (hell yes I'm that kind of a reader). I was pretty pleased by how fairly you played it.

That being said, even knowing it was coming, I was sobbing so hard from the last blood test on that, thanks to my heavy seasonal allergies and the way I'm draining straight into my lungs this year (thanks, respiratory system, thanks bunches) I coughed and hacked myself into vomiting.

And then, since I couldn't bear to stop reading long enough to calm down, I did it again.

Yeah. "Mira Grant's Feed! So good it made me hurl!...no, wait, really!" It doesn't really have much promise as a marketing tool, but I swear, Feed's the best book I've read all year, and it's right up there in the all-life rankings.

I kept figuring Shaun would die at some point (not the first book, surely), but I got a sinking feeling when I saw "the unpublished files of Georgia Mason." Except I didn't think you were allowed to kill your narrator, especially when she was narrating in past tense. Isn't that against the rules? DAMMIT.

During my next reread, I think I'm going to keep official count of the number of casual or explicit references to Georgia's rock-solid belief that Shaun would die first.

By the second, I knew.

I had the sad feeling that I tried to ignore that that many repetitions of "Shaun will die first and I'll have to bury him" meant that the opposite was going to happen.

I think I will count, too!
