reviews from Toronto books

I have read a couple more of the Toronto books, and one I highly recommend, the other not so much.

Feed by Mira Grant, is the first in a trilogy.  I thoroughly enjoyed this and would recommend it over World War Z by far.  The characterization, plot and explanation of how the zombies came to be are far superior in Feed.  Modern day politics play a role as well, in a very compelling manner. 

I will be buying the rest of the trilogy, and will more than likely start her other trilogy, which just has the first book out, Parasite.

The other book I recently finished is Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet by Joanne Proulx.  It was hyped on Amazon, and the premise and start were very intriguing, but it dragged and dragged in the middle, and I really found it rather pointless.
