While I loved the sound of this, unfortunately this one wasn't for me. It was difficult to get into and though I tried to persevere, I did not finish this one.

The idea for this book was very interesting and had a lot of promise. Unfortunately I just couldnt get into the story although I persevered for a while and ended up DNF.. It annoyed me having to work out what some of the terms were and at times sentences felt like I was reading captions on picture frames moving in quick succession.
Another reader might get more out of this book than I could and it is worth giving it a try.

Unfortunately 'The Feed' was a muddled mess of confusion for me. I found it really hard to get into and follow at the start, with all these terms that were just not explained and a situation I found very hard to imagine. My personal opinion of course - I can see a lot of people loved it!

Thank you to the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

DNF @ 16%

It's rare for me to DNF a book but this one literally frustrated the heck out of me! We are thrown into this world in the far future and were expected to know what the words on the page mean but even after page 1 I was like.....What? Apparently it gets better after about the first 1/3rd but this annoyed me so much I just stopped. I wasn't going to give it more of my precious reading time. 

The description sounded good, I will give it that. But, it wasn't worth my time. This is probably the harshest review I've written but, yeah. I hope others enjoy it, but for me, it's a big no.

The Feed’s premise of a post-apocalyptic time when Earth is devoid of the technology people have come to rely on is terrifying, and Windo paints a scarily realistic picture of a world gone awry. Imagine your brain is connected like a computer to all the information available, reeling out in front of your eyes like a facebook feed? People no longer have to talk to each other, as their thoughts and emotions instantly come up in the other person’s mind. However, just as computers are susceptible to viruses, what happens when the feed gets corrupted? After having become used to this instant information download, how are people going to cope when it collapses?

Windo cleverly uses the issues facing our IT obsessed society to create a bleak and terrifying tale that will haunt you in your worst nightmares. I admit that I found it a bit too bleak for my liking, and concede that I am not a great lover of dystopian fiction, although I like to take myself out of my comfort zone at times and explore different genres. Windo writes well and painted pictures so desolate in my mind that it was a bit of a struggle to pick up the books at times, and I had to steel myself to keep going. I also had a few issues with my ARC, which seemed disjointed at times, so am putting some of my struggles down to that. All in all, I despite a very clever premise I did not enjoy the story very much and believe I am not the right audience for this dystopian tale. Lovers of the genre will no doubt find it interesting and original, and I urge anyone who enjoy post-apocalyptic novels to give it a go and form their own opinion.
