Location: UK		I didn't like Feed much, either. I hated its nerd-culture pandering and found the central relationship creepy. I read both Feed and its first sequel out of a sense of obligation when voting for the Hugos. I didn't read the novel shortlist this year, but when I catch up, I might just skip the third one. I skipped this year's novella, which sounded nauseatingly "inside" just from its title, managing to reference both Firefly and Comicon. (I'm geeky enough to know that, but it doesn't mean I want to be pandered to.)

I don't have anything in particular against the author - I liked one of her shorter works under her own name in the Hugo packet - but I don't see why people rate this series so much. I feel like it is perhaps a particularly well-mobilised but not actually all that large fanbase.
