    <content type="html">The battle to reclaim my link file rages on!  Today, some &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt; reviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ladybusiness.dreamwidth.org/36754.html"&gt;Lady Business has some thoughts on the treatment of female characters in &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  They assume you have some idea of what happens in the book, but they're really interesting, and they reflect some of the issues that I, personally, had with the narrative when it was done.  I don't regret any of the characters I chose to include.  I sometimes wish I'd handled the non-central females a little better.  This is a great exploration/review.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Monitor&lt;/i&gt; has &lt;a href="http://www.themonitor.com/entertainment/mira-62893-second-apocalypse.html"&gt;posted a review of &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and says, "&lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt; was a mesmerizing read."  Works for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working for the MANdroid has &lt;a href="http://www.workingforthemandroid.com/main/2012/8/9/review-feed-by-mira-grant.html"&gt;posted a review of &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and says, "&lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt; is an awesome and unusual zombie book, and it actually has a great conclusion that feels like the story is completely wrapped up."  Awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.Xpresso Reads has &lt;a href="http://www.xpressoreads.com/2012/08/review-feed-by-mira-grant.html"&gt;posted a review of &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and says, "The very first thing I noticed going into this book was the exquisiteness of the writing. The narration being notably mature and quick-witted makes it an exceptionally smart novel that is just a breath of fresh air."  I like it when people think I'm smart!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspired Quill has &lt;a href="http://www.inspired-quill.com/blog/reviews/mira-grant-feed/"&gt;posted a review of &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and says, "Even if you aren't a fan of zombies, this is one zombie book that you shouldn't run from."  I won't lie: I kinda want this on a T-shirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles Tan has &lt;a href="http://charles-tan.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-review-feed-by-mira-grant.html"&gt;posted a review of &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and says, " I once read a blog entry stating that Neil Gaiman's &lt;i&gt;Sandman&lt;/i&gt; was porn for lit majors while Warren Ellis's &lt;i&gt;Transmetropolitan&lt;/i&gt; was porn for journalists. If that's the case, then &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt; is porn for bloggers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...you know what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That works for me.</content>
