Commentary As Books Deadline (Newsflesh #2)
Shaun Mason is a man without a mission. Not even running the news organization he built with his sister has the same urgency as it used to. Playing with dead things just doesn't seem as fun when you've lost as much as he has.But when a CDC researcher fakes her own death and appears on his doorstep with a ravenous pack of zombies in tow, Shaun has a newfound interest in life. Because she brings news-he may have put down the monster who attacked them, but the conspiracy is far from dead.
Now, Shaun hits the road to find what truth can be found at the end of a shotgun.

So here we are again, almost one year later. Another Newsflesh novel nominated for a Hugo. Ive decided that everything I want to discuss about this book takes me into hella spoilers territory. So that spoiler flag I put on here? Dont ignore that if you were thinking I was kidding. I wasnt. From here on out, we will be knee deep in zombie guts and spoilers. If you want a non-spoilery review, check out Kempers well-articulated reasons for this books mediocrity. I particularly agree about the lackI just find it interesting that kids apparently used to cry when Bambi's mother died. George and I both held our breaths, and then cheered when she didn't reanimate and try to eat her son.Who needs to study when you have a book containing zombies and corruption and cloning to read? Not me!Well, actually, I do need to. But instead of studying, I spent all of yesterday reading Deadline by Mira Grant! Someone shower me with sympathy, because I'll definitely need some of it after failing staying up

I'm not really sure why I read this. It was bought for me by someone who didn't realise how much heart ache the first one caused me and I had nothing to read, which is why it took me about 39 years to get through. There will be spoilers. 1. The plot is, surprisingly, quite good. At least, it's an improvement on the first book. I know absolutely nothing about virology so for all I know Mira Grant is making the whole thing up as she goes along, but she seems well versed in it, giving the element
When I reviewed the previous book, Feed, I noted that that there were very few zombie attacks in it despite it being called a zombie book. Compared to Deadline, that one now looks like The Night of the Living Dead. Theres an opening chapter here with our intrepid heroes escaping a pack of zombies that ends on page 18. We dont get another actual zombie encounter until over 500 PAGES later. Not that there arent zombies around. The characters flee a major city right before it gets firebombed due a
***Warning: this review contains spoilers for Feed*** I really don't know what I can say about this book besides how disappointed and frustrated it left me. Not that I was expecting something incredible mind you. I mean, it's not like Feed left me begging for more so I have no idea why I gave Deadline the time of day. Actually I do know. I'm not too bright. I was going to purchase The Demon's Surrender on Tuesday June 14th, because that's when it was released, but for whatever reason the
I didn't hate this but I did hate Shaun, and was bored a lot of the time. After the ending of the last book I thought that this one would pick up a lot, but it was mostly dull. Shaun was a huge dick, and while the other characters were fine I didn't really care about them. I thought the plot was really slow moving. After finishing the 10hr+ audiobook I still feel like not much had happened, and while I was listening I always had that "hurry up and wait" feeling. Another HUGE feeling I was
