The Feeding

By: Anthony Ryan

Narrated by: Devon Sorvari

With echoes of The Road, New York Times bestselling author Anthony Ryan’s The Feeding is a brilliant postapocalyptic novel that is perfect for fans of Justin Cronin, M. R. Carey, and Alexis Henderson.

Fifteen years ago the feeders rose from the shadows to transform the world into a graveyard. The few survivors exist in fortified settlements surrounded by the empty ruins of a destroyed civilization. For years the citizens of New City Redoubt have relied on an elite cadre of Crossers to navigate the feeder-infested wasteland between settlements in order to trade for vital supplies. But the Outside is becoming ever more dangerous, and the ranks of the Crossers grow thinner with every crossing.

Layla, only a child when the Feeding destroyed the old world, spends her days scavenging the ruins for valuable scrap and her nights helping her adoptive family eke a living from the Redoubt’s only movie theater. Now, with her father slowly dying, Layla resolves to join the Crossers to retrieve the medicine that can save him. Smart, ruthless, and fast on her feet, Layla quickly gains the respect of her fellow Crossers. But, in a world lost to the deadliest predators, can even the most cunning prey survive?

Bored

Anthony Ryan fan and was excited to have him do my favorite genre. Unfortunately I was bored the whole time. I just kept waiting for some excitement and action to happen. This book could have been shorter. It's like a really long preamble.

Is this Anthony Ryan?

First off, I could not stand the narration for this book. I felt no emotions from any of the scenes or characters. All of Mr. Ryan's recent works are extremely well written and character's much more real. Either someone else wrote this book, it was written when he was a teenager, or hit his head very hard before writing this. I would not recommend this to any fan of Anthony Ryan's previous work.
