Feed:Book Report

The main character in the book Feed is a teenager who lived in the future. His name is Titus. In the book, Titus tells the story from his point of view, so we don’t get to read much about what he looks like or what people say about his personality. We really only get to read about him telling about other people. So I have to dig deeper and look into what he says and how he talks to find out what he is like. In the book, Titus isn’t such a responsible person and is with his friends partying more than anything. He is always looking for fun and never really doing what he should be doing. He isn’t really close to his mom or his dad who don’t really know what he does and he thinks his brother is probably the most annoying person in the world.

            Titus isn’t really the outgoing type who tries to meet new people or talk to people he doesn’t know. He hangs out with the same group of friends all the time (Link, Marty, Calista, Loga, and Quendy). The way that Titus acts sends out different emotions towards people. His mood changes a lot. For example, right in the beginning of the book, Titus and his friends go on a vacation to the moon. When they’re on the way there, he is kind of getting annoyed by his friends and is really tired. But instead of telling his friends that, he puts on a show to try to hide how he is really feeling. In the book, Titus made a number of bad choices that made his life worse. For example, when him and his friends are on the trip going to the moon, Titus met a girl named Violet that he soon found out he loved. They did everything together and he brought her everywhere. Titus knew that his friends didn’t really like Violet because she tried to act smarter than everybody, and Violet knew that to. But instead of being smart and not bringing her to hang out with his friends he brought her every time, until Violet got mad at them and freaked out and started yelling. Another example is also about Violet. Later into the book, Titus and Violet went on a trip to an hotel where they were going to stay the night. It started out well until Violet said one thing wrong and then Titus yelled at her. That was also a big mistake because Titus knew that Violet did not deserve to be yelled at an yet he went ahead and did it. That same night they broke up. I think those are examples of how Titus made many wrong decisions. Also, I think that he is maybe just a little bit self-centered. The reason I think that is because there were a couple times when everybody else was having a good time and Titus was having a bad time so he had to make everybody else feel bad like him. That shows that he is self-centered and I also think it shows the ways that his emotions change.

            I think that Feed was a pretty good book. It had kind of a weird plot but it kept me reading. I thought that the book was somewhat complicated. It was told in the future future and there were a lot of weird things they did differently from the time were living in right now. For example, people talked really weird. Instead of saying something was really cool or sweet they would say that it was “meg” or instead of trying to get a person’s attention by saying “hey you” or “hey dude” they would say “hey Unit”. That kind of confused me when I started reading the book but, I understood it a lot better farther into the book.

            I would defiantly recommend this book to many people. I think that the kind of people that would like this book would be the people that don’t like books that are fast paced and have action. People that want to have a good read should read this book because even though there isn’t that much suspense, it kept me reading and wondering what was going to happen next. This book is about kind of about life and what happens when you make a wrong choice. That’s I think this book is about and if you like to read books that have a plot like that then this is a great book to read.
