It must be the week for me to be reading weird books... first "Unwind" and now this....
I'm straddling the proverbial fence on this bad boy:
On the positive hand,
1.It was a unique story
But
Sometimes different doesn't equal good.
2. The story itself was interesting
but
the writing sucked and it was "MEG" hard to get into
3. It was a cool take on how technology can be beneficial, but in extreme quantities we are actually worse off, to the point it makes our mind numb
But
it could have been executed so much better... there could have been so much more to the feed.
4. The actual Feed itself is such an awesome idea. We are basically walking computers that cater to our every need and want
But
as I said above it could have been so much more...
5. Violet was such a refreshing character
but
I hate her ending.
6. I (guiltily) like the idea of the feed, the part about getting products sent to you pretty much in an instant and the feed catering to my whims
But
it's shallow... the consumerism in this book is almost scary. Why? Becuase when you look at our society now, are we really that far off from this???

On the whole, this Rodeo is closing shop becuase it didn't sell enough tickets... it didn't hold my interest.

I could go on, in my 50/50 state of mind. It was not horrible, nor was it great.
5/2= 2.5 stars!

Sidenote: this is book #147 for me.... come on 150!!!!
