I love zombie stories, movies, graphic novels; you name it! And "Feed" is no exception. This book is wonderful; likable characters, plenty of action and dramatic tension and a really cool overall zombie concept.

This book is a few decades after the original outbreak, everyone in the world is host to a dormant infection of the zombie plague which only waits for the right trigger to start the amplification process. Armed guards and constant blood screenings are par for the course absolutely everywhere one might go. The story centers on a couple of bloggers, a brother and sister team; she a "Newsie" and he an "Irwin." Newsies are concerned with the truth, with being factual and getting information to people. Irwins are concerned with putting on an exciting show. Irwins like to poke zombies with sticks and film the resultant action. These two win the right to follow along the campaign trail with a potential future president of the USA and they are in for a very bumpy ride. I don't want to spoil any of the surprises in store so I leave you with this:

Well written and entertaining you will not regret sinking a few hours into reading this book. I'm off to read book 2; "Deadline."
