Feed by M.T. Anderson, I've found to be very interesting. It's not quite like any other book I've read. At first I found myself really bored with the whole story. It took me a little while to get into the book, but after the first 70 pages or so, I found myself being able to follow the book more easily. I was confused in the beginning as to what was going on. The way they speak sometimes is strange and I'm not sure what they mean. I also don't completely understand the 'feed' and how it works. I wish the book had gone into more detail about how their world works in the beginning. But the further I read, the more of an understanding I got. It's kinda cool how they are able to do these things on the moon and it makes me wonder if one day, we will have the technology to be able to prosper on the moon that way.
I like Titus' and Violet's relationship a lot. Titus is completely intrigued by Violet in the beginning of the book, and I was excited to see what comes of their relationship. It isn't typical and they started out as friends which I like. That way they can learn more about each other before jumping into anything. The way they interact with each other gives them this sort of connection that stands out from everyone else. He doesn't hit on her like the other guys do. And I like that Violet is different than everyone else. It makes the story more interesting. Another thing I like about the book is although it isn't realistic at this moment in time, the relationships and the 'feed' are realistic. The relationships are like any relationship nowadays. And in my opinion I feel like the 'feed' represents our government. They control everything. So far I can say I enjoy reading this book and I'm curious for what is going to happen next. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys some sci-fi or fantasy.
Anna- I agree that the relationship between Titus and Violet is interesting. I also had a hard time getting into the story and I am curious to how it will turn out.
ReplyDeleteI think we will be able to get to that point of having a prosperous life on the moon. But not anytime soon and because its a lot smaller that earth. But I like these type of books as well, it does keep me interested as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Anna, I also found myself bored with the beginning of this book. Feed is a very slow paced book, and kind of starts off weird. I'm hoping this book will get much better, and I can grasp the whole concept of feed.

ReplyDeleteComparing this book to the last one, I feel that while the relationship between Titus and Violet was faster than that of Eleanor and Parks', the relationship just came more naturally. It didn't feel like "young love" and the relationship flowed pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with you about the beginning of the book. It took me about 50-70 pages into the book to finally figure out what the feed is. I think it would be a more enjoyable book to read if the language wan't so different.
ReplyDeleteViolet and Titus do have an interesting relationship, but I wonder if the corruption in the book will take that relationship down with it.
ReplyDeleteAs I keep reading others blogs, im happy to see that so many others were confused at the beginning too. The whole "feed" thing was a little unclear to me too and I wish it was explained more as to how it works.
