bookshelves: favorites, ya, sci-fi, reviewed
Read 2 times. Last read January 1, 2003.
If you were to choose only one YA book to read in your lifetime, it should be this book.
Feed portrays the near future world North Americans are currently barreling towards, and, as a result, this book is horrifying, terrifying, and brilliant all at the same time. You don't need to read my review, you need to go out and read this book, now. It's a fast pace and shouldn't take very long to whip through. I keep it on my shelf because it's genius, but it's so chilling I can't stand to reread it.
It's not often I agree with the big gun awards out there but Feed richly deserves its status as: National Book Award Finalist, star PW, and star Kirkus, it should have won the Newberry. Probably would have if it wasn't SF.

I agree. I have recommended this as a companion piece to Orwell's 1984. I think all young people hould read it and adults could benefit as well. It is very timely and pertinent.

I enjoyed this novel. I've taught it twice to junior high students, though, and both times, they've generally preferred other novels to it. I think it might work better for adults than young adults.
it's also been a banned book! i have it on our YA banned book shelf right now.
