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!

Feed made me think a lot about my expectations in books vs movies, because if this had been a zombie movie, none of the deaths would have made me blink. (I mean, I might have winced and flailed a bit, but I wouldn't have been surprised. Because I know, with that type of movie, that there don't necessarily have to be any survivors, and no one is completely safe.

Whereas I had to read the relevant parts of Feed three times before I could believe George was actually dead. I think it's at least partly because it's a lot harder to keep emotional distance - for me, at least - in a book with a first person narrator, and so I can't pick apart the story as I go because I'm too busy worrying about everyone.

It's like the issue with Little Shop of Horrors as a musical and as a movie. The things that people loved in a musical made them depressed and angry in a movie, because of the change of medium.
