Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2012 discussion

Thread to discuss the novel Feed. Spoilers likely.

I can't deicide if I like George or not.

Just to clarify, is this Mira Grant's Feed or other book?

Funny, you should ask Julia (there was confusion over that). But yes, I'm talking about Grant's Feed.

Ah excellent, good to know. I do have a copy. It just wouldn't count for this challenge alas.

I don't know about George either. I know that I definitely don't like the 'rents. Talk about self centered.

By the way the does the presidential candidate remind you of anyone? From Wisconsin.

I actually don't see much difference between the kids and 'rents. I think this is intentional, though.

Do you think so? So far it feels like the three of them: George, George (Buffy) and Sean are not be using one another for higher 'ratings'. The 'rents seem harder emotionally. However, I am not far into the book.

I haven't made as much progress as I would like. Lots of work stuff :(

Oops, it's spelled 'Shaun'..

George, Buffy and Shaun don't use each other per se, but they do use tragedy - all news media does when you think about. Look at the coverage of Sandy.

Agreed. We rarely focus on good or happy things. One reason I don't like the news overall.

Just past reading where the rally is sabotaged and there is a close call with the zombies. George seems like she has an awful lot of headaches and takes a lot of painkillers; her behavior makes me wonder.

It seems weird that with all the modern technology and blood testing available that they can't kill all of the zombies. Even using a heat seeking device with the military seems like a basic strategy.
