Review of "Feed" by Mira Grant
Mar. 26th, 2014 09:56 pm"I don't like zombie stories."
"This isn't a zombie story."
"But it has zombies in it."
"But it doesn't--"
"OK, fine. I'll read it."
Um. This isn't a zombie story, though it does, in fact, have zombies in it. It's a political thriller, and a story about reporting the news. Most of all it's a story about grit, and smarts, and loyalty, and politics inside a presidential campaign, and terror and fear. It's about finding and telling the truth, when powerful people don't want you to. And there are some zombies in it, but it's not a zombie story.
Read it.
