I'm starting to have nightmares about my link list. Anyway...<br /><br />The Horror Fiction Review <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/hfrzine/july2010reviews.htm">has published a review of <i>Feed</i></a>, and says, "At the risk of seeming disloyal to some of my idols, mentors and all-around awesome cool guys like Brian Keene and Dr. Kim Paffenroth, I am going to go ahead and come right out and say it...Mira Grant's <i>Feed</i> just might be the best damn zombie book I’ve ever read." Well, that's hard to beat, really.<br /><br />Brutal As Hell <a href="http://www.brutalashell.com/2010/08/book-review-feed/">has also posted a <i>Feed</i> review</a>, now with bonus profanity (yay!), and says, "<i>Feed</i> is hands-down one of the best zombie novels to be published in a long time, which is saying something extremely special given the volume of zombie literature being published right now. Grant weaves a plot with a substantial amount of twists and turns, never losing the quality of writing, and she is certainly not afraid to go to places most authors wouldn’t even consider. I've read some great books this year, but nothing has left me with such a sense of excitement for future installments or for zombie literature as a whole like <i>Feed</i> has. Mira Grant has certainly captured my attention in a way that no other author, particularly a new author, ever has. Run to your nearest bookstore to get this book immediately. Bring a machete if it makes you feel more comfortable." Dude.<br /><br />Cookies, Books, and Bikes <a href="http://www.cookiesbooksbikes.com/2010/08/feed-by-mira-grant.html">has posted a <i>Feed</i> review</a>, and says, "I loved this book! I was captured by the story from the first couple of pages and couldn't stop reading until it was done. The action just dragged me right in and kept me reading. The story had enough action interspersed with more mild events keep me reading and waiting for the next big event." That's all I can ask for, really.<br /><br />Here, let's break things up a little with <a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/2010/08/10/interview-with-mira-grant/#more-2096">a new interview of Mira, conducted by the lovely crew at Fanatic Space</a>. With some new questions and some new answers, it was a really good time, and you should totally give it a look.<br /><br />Finally, for right now, Girl On Book Action (this is my new Journey cover band name) <a href="http://girlonbookaction.blogspot.com/2010/08/girl-on-book-action-feed-by-mira-grant.html">has posted a fabulous <i>Feed</i> review</a>. Her review is long, detailed, and doesn't offer many pull quotes...although she does criticize the number of typos in the book. Oh, well, can't win 'em all.<br /><br />That's it for today; look for another roundup coming soon, as I struggle to reclaim my link file.
