Disclaimer - I actually think this book is closer to a 4.5. It was *almost* as wonderful as Feed. Don't get me wrong, I really, really loved it, but it just didn't match my experience with Feed, where I was literally sobbing at the end of the book. I'm a sucker for those.

And the ending - OMG. I still can't believe it. The writing was just as great and natural as in Feed, though I was just a little annoyed by the repeated use of the word "deadpan". Another small thing that bothered me and stopped me from giving this book five stars - the relationship between Shaun and Georgia - as touching as it is that they are SO close, I can't help but be a little skeeved at how obsessed Shaun is with his sister. It's not too distracting, but I do think it was a little much.

Shaun's voice was unique and refreshingly honest, and the urgency in this book is, I think, even greater than in Feed. I absolutely had to know what was going on! The last few chapters are definitely a wild ride - I can't wait for the third installment of this series.
