On  goodreads.com I found this comment on the book.

 “I brought this along with me on vacation, thinking it would be a fun, distracting entertainment. I completely underestimated it. FEED is fun and entertaining, but it is a whole lot more as well. Inventive, intelligent, fearless, provocative, and darkly humorous. It's a thoughtful and brilliant satire that puts most of the dystrophic YA novels coming out these days to shame. The voice is dead-on and the author's ear for dialogue is impeccable. Looking forward to reading more of M.T. Anderson's work.”

 I agree. I really enjoyed this book. The moment I was feeling like stopping and going to sleep it picked up with Violet and that whole situation. I’m glad that I read it and it really is sort of a warning. The language I must say aside from the slang words was difficult. The sent acts and the arrangement of words kind of stumped me a bit. I’m used to more fluent writers, who don’t use the word ‘like’ all the time. I understand it was to give the characters a unique voice of the future and it worked in bringing that out.

However, it was difficult for me to be on the same wave length with the main character. When Violet spoke I was able to read easier. It’s how I talk more so. And I must add that the satire of the book was amazing and that the fact that we never learned Titus’s little brothers real name is awesome. Smell Factor is all the reader knows him by. I like that the author didn’t feel the need to tell us for our own closure about it. For those people who have to know everything about every character this book would not be good to read. This author has a great vision of the future and has done a brilliant job of showing us in detail what it could be like. Every detail was thought of, that’s what I love.
