Feed and Deadline

Just wondering if anybody has read these two books by Mira Grant?

I just finished reading Deadline, the sequel to Feed, and I have to say that I'm hooked! They are as good as World War Z by Max Brooks, if not slightly better as they paint a more plausible picture as to how the infection first started, which I won't give away here, and how the world has changed when Zombies are an every day occurrence and nobody stays dead.

if you haven't read them yet, I advise you to do so, if you have, what did you think of it?

Feed is the only one of that pair that I bought. Must admit that it bored me. I did not like the main characters at all.


I have read some of McGuire's other books and her style is just not for me I think.

Are we on about the same novel, just because it was written by a Grant not a McGuire, unless that was a typo?

The thing I really liked about it was it answered questions I had often wondered, such as (don't think this is a spoiler), how would people who actually seen Zombie movies would cope in an actual Zombie Rising.

Mira Grant is just a pen name, not a real person. I have a habit of using her real name, Seanan McGuire, because all her other books that I read before Feed are under her real name.


She only used the Grant name for the Newsflesh series and a few short stories.
