À propos de cet audio

Feedback is a full-length Newsflesh novel that overlaps the events of the acclaimed first novel in the series, Feed, and offers a new entry point to this thrilling and treacherous world from New York Times best seller Mira Grant.

There are two sides to every story...

We had cured cancer. We had beaten the common cold. But in doing so we unleashed something horrifying and unstoppable. The infection spread leaving those afflicted with a single uncontrollable impulse: Feed.

Now, 20 years after the Rising, a team of scrappy underdog reporters relentlessly pursue the facts while competing against the brother-and-sister blog superstars, the Masons.

Surrounded by the infected, and facing more insidious forces working in the shadows, they must hit the presidential campaign trail and uncover dangerous truths. Or die trying.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The strength of this tale lies in the diverse cast, their deep ties to one another, and Grant's ability to surprise the reader with emotional gut punches." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A U.S. presidential campaign set in a zombie-infested future bears an eerie resemblance to the way we live now. Simply jump in and enjoy...a whip-smart thriller overflowing with sharp ideas and social commentary." ( Kirkus )

If what you want in a book is to see more of the world of the Newsflesh Trilogy, this book will offer that. It has more violence, action, zombies, politics and snarky reporters to meet and love. If what you want is a similarly compelling story or the brilliant narration of the other three, perhaps not. I generally enjoyed the book, but for three things:

The description of the book is misleading. The closest the characters get to competing with the Mason siblings is obsessing over them through landmark events that seem to be intended to mark the timeline of FeedBack as being parallel to the election campaign in the original novels. These mentions read like a fan letter to the old books in a way I personally found somewhat annoying and unnecessary.

The writing is very similar to the other books, with plenty of discussion of Kellis-Amberly and the nature of Newsflesh's blogger-media world. There are also aspects of politics relating to the zombie apocalypse. Unlike previous titles, there are also a lot of issues surrounding recent social issues - gender pronouns, ableism and such - which are approached with all of the subtlety and "show, don't tell" tact of a sledgehammer. The subject characters of those social issues and their impacts are interesting, but the narration is exessive and ultimately some of those passages felt more like expositive lectures on morality than anything to do with the story.

Lastly the narration was difficult to adjust to. I'm unsure if it was the accent or the narrator, but it took a few hours of short listening periods before I could handle it for too long. If you're thinking of picking this up you should definitely listen to a sample first.

An okay but not marvelous addition

I loved it as I do the rest of the series, however, I literally twitched every time the narrator mispronounced names like Willamette (will-AM-ette not will-uh-MET) or Spokane (spoke-ANN not spo-KANE). Might have been Ash's accent informing it, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to someone who grew up in the area.
