Kirsten Ashley read and liked Meg's review of Feed:

"Here's a fact: I don't like futuristic satire. I mean. It's always blah blah blah corporate this and blah blah blah takeover that and people are dumber and machines are everywhere and School (tm) and it all just feels to me like a line of cheap jokes...more Here's a fact: I don't like futuristic satire. I mean. It's always blah blah blah corporate this and blah blah blah takeover that and people are dumber and machines are everywhere and School (tm) and it all just feels to me like a line of cheap jokes being lobbed at basically what amounts to a society = wet paper towels, like, it doesn't take that much to punch through our faces anymore. And all of that stuff is in Feed, so, really the two of us were up against a wall together and one of us was going to have to bend.

What is good about Feed is that underneath all the School (tm) and the Weatherbee & Crotch half-jokes is an actual sort of genius story about a boy who for a second thinks he might change his ways because of an unusual girl, but then when it gets right down to it, he finds himself preferring what is hotwired into his head. The book's all, it's not just that our feed-like tendencies are going to make it harder to relate to each other, it's that our feed-like tendencies are going to make it hard to grow and change at all.

Plus it's constructed in a way that makes you think that at first there's only one class of people--the type of people narrating the book--and by the time you're deep in and Anderson is hinting about other classes of people that you never really even learn about, you're so steeped in this upper-class that it's easy to lend understanding to a protagonist who really seriously has to fight to look beyond his own dumb nose.

I also liked Titus' parents' diction. (less) "
