Being a teenager and reading some of the parents reviews I must say that I am disappointed in the parents for not knowing their kids better. Almost all kids my age and younger you the words that are used in the book and make references as they do in the book, so yes it is appropriate for children. Also I can see that some of them are just short little things complaining about the sexual references and profanity. They don't talk about the themes and symbolism. So parents, give this book a chance, it will get your kids thinking and there is a reason it was on their school book list.

This book was assigned to my highschool as summer reading. The language and drug use is not appropriate for school use. Many of the freshman do not understand the concept of the book and only see people that mock teenagers by using slang and the word "like" too much. I think if you look past the language of the book you see that it is trying to explain the decline of knowlage due to technology. Not many people get this and are confused on why this was assigned as a school book. I also do not like how the main charater does not develop and it really leaves a grim mood on the book. I think this book would be okay for the senoirs or junoirs to read but defenately not all four grades.

Feed has created an awe-inspiring message about the problems with product consumerism, technology and mass media control. It gives a haunting image of a near-future where Americans are slowly becoming nothing more than computers with skin. I'm 13 and believe it's perfect book for mature young adults. Some of subjects in the book are slightly disturbing, touching on issues such as "drugs," sex, and more. Some of the language isn't particularly good, but it's very education and just a great book to enjoy reading. An issue many people seem to be having is that the "role models" aren't particularly good. Well, because this novel is written in first person, you see the world through the perspective of a teenage boy. So what if you were in Titus's situation? Would you honestly know what to do with a slowly dying girl who's in love with you? Would you know what to say to her? The book is honest with its characters. If you want a good role model go read Twilight. This novel isn't to be wasted.

I read 1984, which is a lot like this book, except not so scary. For the first 3/4 of the book, I was enjoying it. The way that the author extrapolated on current trends in language was funny, "like" has replaced "says," and the descriptions of America in the future were sad and interesting. But in the last couple chapters the way that the book shows America and the world and the characters live falling apart makes it for older readers. Kids are not really bothered at all by swear words and making out. We hear worse at school every day. But the darkness and absurdity of the last sections make this for readers more mature then me. I can't believe that the reviews I've read just focus on F-Bombs and not what the book is actually saying about the future.

You guys have to be kidding you talk about da da da this and da da da that but in truth if you were really mindful and aware of public schools actually schools in general you would see that kids under 10! are cursing right now maybe you guys should pay more attention instead of criticizing the book.

I had to read this book for summer reading going into eighth grade. I'm not complaining, but I was extremely surprised at the foul language used in this book, along with a lot of drug use and such. Extremely good book though. Do note though that teens do tend to use a lot of language these days so it is pretty realistic

i had to read this for school and i thought it was amazing! it really puts a new twist on humanity.
