I don't give 5 stars to a book very often. But this book. Oh my god. 
 I picked it up last August, riding high on the wake of World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which frankly had blown my mind. And I'd seen "Feed" had been highly recommended. That, and the cover art is beyond brilliant. So I bought it and promptly set it aside. I didn't want to overdose on zombie books, after all. I started reading it on a whim last weekend, in the lull between waiting for my next online order of books to ship. And it grabbed me right away. It was witty, engaging and I fell in love with the writing style, with Georgia's character voice, as much as I fell in love with her and her team. 
 And I kept reading. Loving the layout of this postapocalypic world and realities that came with it being so many years after the initial outbreak. The characters always felt real and the plot was suspenseful. The story kept turning over in my head even after I'd forced myself to put the book down for the night. It was that gripping. I kept wanting more. 
 And then, this book destroyed me. 
 I won't say anything more, other than I think I cried for the last 100 pages or so. But I'm still in awe of this book. I had a hard enough time trying to figure out what I was going to write here about it. It was powerful. It was heartbreaking. It was a story that will be staying with me for some time, I feel. It was definitely 5 star material.
