Normally would not read a book about zombies, but I love Seanan McGuires writing so decided to give her alter ego a try. Glad I did. Not your typical zombie tale, this one pulled me in quickly. ( )

Ms. Mira Grant has a new follower. What happens after the Zombie Apocalypse? Great concept and stellar writing. I loved it even though I'm not really a horror fan.

I will be pimping this series to everyone I know. ( )

I'd never really been into the zombie apocalypse genre in general, but I decided to give Feed a go because I love reading Mira/Seanan's blog and I love her other writing (e.g. [b:Rosemary and Rue|6294549|Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1)|Seanan McGuire|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51xZgCAG9VL._SL75_.jpg|6478937]).

Well, I was very quickly converted. As a longtime LiveJournal user, I'm very familiar with the concept of blogging, and the blend of that style of journalism, plus the politics, plus the crazy action scenes, made for an absolutely wonderful read. The characters are well fleshed out (sorry) and it's easy to find someone in there to empathise with.

I've just finished reading [b:Deadline|10047818|Deadline|Mira Grant|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mHdK0hhaL._SL75_.jpg|13292985] as well, which I'll refrain from spoiling here, save to remark that it is an incredibly strong follow up to Feed.

Read it. You'll laugh, you'll cry (oh gods, you will cry), it'll change your life.

Rise up while you can. ( )

I liked this much more than I had expected. I thought it would be too YA, but it bypassed the annoying parts of that genre. I rather enjoyed reading about the bloggers and how they arranged everything. The ending was quite intense. Loved it! ( )
