Rise up while you can: a FEED review roundup.

The fun never stops!

Ragnarfan has posted a review of Feed, and says, "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." Hooray, proper thrillers!

The Word Zombie (still love that blog name) also posted a Feed review, and says, "I enjoyed this book far more than I had anticipated. It's that rare combination of a great story that also happens to be a great zombie story. I really found myself invested in the characters and was emotionally affected by the ending in a manner that happens far too infrequently for me these days. For that, I have to thank Mira Grant—job well done." Yay! You're welcome!

This detailed Feed review has been posted at Ravenous Bookshelf, the blog of a library school student, and says, "If I wanted to be really analytical, I could talk about the parallels of zombie virology (Grant has crafted a fascinating model of infection) and the 'viral' spread of information among people with the blogging universe, crowdsourcing and communications advancements...but mostly? Georgia + Shaun = Love." Awwww. I agree.

Bea Connors posted this review on the Falcata Times, and says, "Grant takes a while to establish her world and is occasionally stingy about revealing information but overall, the book is a solid, fascinating read, well worth the reader's patience. It's an intriguing mix of science fiction, sociology, current events, action, horror and politics. One note: hardcore zombie fans may wish there were more zombie appearances but it was just right for me." Awesome.

Finally for right now, SFRevu has posted a kick-ass Feed review, and says, "Overall I thought the idea was very well done and executed and I'll be looking forward to seeing what Grant does with the second book in the series." Works for me.

That's all for right now. More, as always, to come.

When will you rise?

Not much into monster movies/books, but I may have to amend that now.

Until I do, though, enjoy this graph:
