Book Review #1 - Feed by Mira Grant

Hey guys I know it's late but just let me do a book review okay? Great. So let's begin.

FEED - MIRA GRANT

Feed is a book by horror author Mira Grant., and is the first book from the Newsflesh trilogy. The story is set in the summer of 2014, where two experimental viruses—a genetically engineered flu strain designed by Dr. Alexander Kellis, intended to act as a cure for the common cold, and a cancer-killing strain of Marburg, known as "Marburg Amberlee"—escaped the lab and combined to form a single airborne pathogen that swept around the world in a matter of days. It cured cancer. It stopped a thousand cold and flu viruses in their tracks. However, it raised the dead.

And the world was thus infected, no cure was found, and the world turned into a zombie land. The mainstream media fell and Internet news acquired an undeniable new legitimacy. The Newsflesh trilogy follows two bloggers, Shaun Mason and Georgia Mason who are covering the US Presidential Campaign in 2014. Senator Peter Ryman of Wisconsin decides to take them along on his run for the White House, with Georgette 'Buffy' M. They were excited at the opportunity to take their careers to a whole new level, but there's one candidate who wants them dead, and what's even worse, he's using the 'zombie' method to get rid of them. They will have to be alert and be cautious of their surroundings, but like most thriller stories, who can accurately predict the ending of this story? Well, the story doesn't really end in this book cuz there's two more books followed (that's why it's called a trilogy). There were multiple scenes where I found myself distraught at what happens. And as you piece things together with Georgia, you struggle along with her to determine how much the truth is worth. Is it worth pain and discomfort? Sure. How about death and destruction? Well...

So why not just head towards your nearest library and pick up this awesome book now? *DISCLAIMER: Not for the faint-hearted*
