I look back and shrug my shoulders, chalking it up to my age, but when I am forced to relive teenage years through Titus it is almost unbearable. The choices/decisions I made that were usually driven by a hormonal and insecure ego led to some ridiculous moments. I look back on my teen years and at times I find myself unlikeable. He is a quintessential teenager in a future that is dominated by consumerism and instant gratification. He just couldn’t find the main character, Titus, in any way likeable. My friend enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as I. There is something about this book that intrigued, frightened, and repulsed me–but I loved it. I read this–actually I listened to the audio version of this book quite a while back, perhaps a few months ago. I needed to share with someone this inexplicable, yet totally real, world Anderson creates in Feed. Anderson, left me thinking about it for months and I even forced a friend to listen to the audiobook.
