Deadline by Mira GrantMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A very worth successor to Feed, and this book is cut from the same mold. I did prefer Feed to Deadline, but the first book in the Newsflesh trilogy was a very hard act to follow. It felt fresh (o-ho!) in a world of stale zombie books. It met with all the same sort of cultural beats you expect from the genre, but added our modern blogger culture to it, making for something unique. But what makes this series great are the characters. I personally prefer Georgia, which may be another reason why I liked Feed more than Deadline, but Shaun is a great POV character, and I found his inability to cope with Georgia's death one of the great things about the story. Someone who's so surrounded by death, and still aches from the loss. It made Shaun extremely human.
Can't wait for Blackout! The teaser in the back of the book was just mean.
