We finally made it! The last part of feed. Overall, I really enjoyed Feed, and I would recommended to everyone, as the book could appeal to all, since it has some romance, some adventure, some comedy and some sadness. In Feed part 4 things get bad, since Violet is in the Hospital slowly dying after the makers of the Feed FeedTech refuse to help repair her issue with the Feed due to her resisting the feed. Meanwhile Titus in return grows farther and farther away from her somehow blaming her for the fact that she is sick. Violet in turn continues loving him while Titus begins to feel no sympathy and more awkward hate towards her. Violet sends Titus a list of things she wants to do with him in the future and of memories that they have together, Titus lies when she asks if she saw the list. Titus breaks up with Violet and ends up dating Quendy. The book ends with a rather emotional Titus telling a lifeless violet a story and how he wants her to remember herself and how he is going to remember her and that she is still there. Its quite sad the book ends considering how Titus ignored and rejected her throughout this chapter and when she eventually begins to shut down and die he finally begins to get real emotions, emotions that are probably rare in that society because the Feed and how it basically thinks for you.
I'm torn regarding Titus. On the one hand, he seems to be nothing more than a spoiled, selfish brat. On the other hand, he is simply the product of his society, and therefore he can't really help behaving the way that he does. It suits the corporations to have an infantile society in which everyone expects to have their every want immediately gratified. You're right that he does come around in the end, but it is too little too late. Does the novel offer any hope? Why or why not?
