Feed Review
I heard of this book while binge watching the vlog brothers. Hank talked it up so much, I knew I had to read it.
Unfortunately I hadn't seen it in any of the book stores, and then suddenly there were 5 copies in my local library!
As tragic as Hazel in TFIOS, Violet's malfunction is the cancer of their world.
The first half was a little bit hard to get into, but once Violet's tragedy takes play, I couldn't put it down. I hated Titus for the majority of the book, and how selfish and superficial he was offline- which really made me think about how am I offline? Would I like who I am offline? Anderson has made a wonderful masterpiece I will never forget!

| THE FOLLOWING REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS |
The book is set in a scifi dystopia, with a bunch of teenagers. As usual. Oh! With a corrupt system where everybody has a "feed" imbedded into their heads. Human's were computerised. Titus, a conspicuous teen boy, meets a girl, Violet, and along with his friends they go hang out at a night club. The night takes a turn for the worst when a hacker fries all of their feeds. Glitching and making them 'mal' (malfunction). They all soon recover, aside from Violet. But it can't be that bad, can it? It's just a computer. Except it's not. It's the new central nervous system, the brain takes second in command. What's Titus to do when his new girlfriend is dying?
