2.5 starsI think I was the wrong audience for this book since it's really for younger readers. Often I like those types of stories, but the characters in Feed were annoying to me. I do still recommend it to younger readers. Everything is so in your face which is really what the book is about. In...
This seminal teen dystopia has been on my TBR forever (maybe since it was published?) and thanks to my book club I finally got it checked off!I always find it a little refreshing to read "old school" teen dystopias, before the formula of singular teen who realizes the evil of "the system" and vows t...
I wasn’t sure if I’d like this book when I started reading it. It’s written in a futuristic dialect that’s slightly difficult to get used to, and the characters aren’t the brightest crayons in the box. In a futuristic world, almost everyone has a “feed” in their brain. The feed controls their bodi...
Think A Clockwork Orange meets I, Robot and you're on the right track to grasping the concept of Feed. If you've ever read or watched A Clockwork Orange, you'll remember the made up language/slang called Nadsat which was so complicated that a glossary was included at the back off the book.

Through this people are able to communicate with each other...

So I was reading this like brag buk, Feed by some like unit named MT Anderson and it was like meg not was I was expecting, it was all like big about consumerism and like all that. Argh! Brain ache! God I hated the language in this book. I was very close to hulk smashing it straight into the recy...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** On my third attempt at reading this book, I finally made it past the first chapter. Previously, the teen-speak had driven me nuts. I suspected there were artistic reasons for the speech to be colloquial, and I wanted to trust Anderson (bec...
You know how we all thought Wall-E was pretty hamfisted with its environmental message, but the robots were so cute even though they never said ANYTHING except names and so we all liked the movie anyway?This is like the American Consumerism version of Wall-E, but without the cute robot noises and th...
