Meh. A decent, B-grade horror movie in book form. I was attracted by the promised body horror, but it wasn't that weird (I mean, yes, eyeballs are eaten - but that's it). Like many readers, I found the constant nightmare sequences pretty tiresome.

Basically loved it. 100% couldn't shake Colin Firth's performance and the 2009 movie from my head while reading it. But nonetheless great. Loved the midcentury LA sprawl! ...more

“We Americans are interested only in the consumption of our products. We have no interest in how they are produced, or what happens to them once we discard them, once we throw them away.”
M. T. Anderson, Feed

Yaa Gyasi
“The need to call this thing “good” and this thing “bad,” this thing “white” and this thing “black,” was an impulse that Effia did not understand. In her village, everything was everything. Everything bore the weight of everything else.”
Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

Maurice Sendak
“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
Maurice Sendak
