Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Farm (The Farm #1)
Life was different in the Before: before vampires began devouring humans in a swarm across America; before the surviving young people were rounded up and quarantined. These days, we know what those quarantines are—holding pens where human blood is turned into more food for the undead monsters, known as Ticks. Surrounded by electrical fences, most kids try to survive the Farms by turning on each other…

It took a while to get into this book, and my enthusiasm varied throughout. It reminds me of a summer movie blockbuster that keeps you enthralled while you're in the theater, but after the last credit rolls and you've had time to think about what you've seen, the plot holes grow bigger and bigger. It's set in the near future, after blood-drinking, genetically engineered monsters known as Ticks have ravaged the U.S. (Exactly where 250 million or more people went is not explained, and our heroesThis and other reviews can be found on The Psychotic Nerd Short and Simple Review This was a reread because I needed to refresh my memory in order to read book two. My feelings are pretty much the same as the first time I read the book. This book is a dystopian vampire book featuring a society where zombie/vampire creatures are all over the country and teenagers are put into farms for "protection". I think this book has some interesting ideas, but it does read a lot like other dystopian books.
This was an interesting take on vampires, honestly, I didn't like it very much, but three stars for being original.I probably would have liked it more if it wasn't for the makeout scenes, call me a baby, but they were too detailed and made me uncomfortable. Also, props for a good autism rep!

Originally reviewed on A Reader of Fictions.Like its cover, Emily McKay's The Farm is exceedingly dark and creepy, filled with the kinds of vampires that are never going to make swoon-inducing heroes. The Farm reminded me somewhat of The Passage and of The Immortal Rules, both in tone and vampire-ness.In The Farm, the world has been overrun by Ticks. No, not the bugs. Humans-turned-monsters that feed on human blood. As is the case in roughly 37% of post-apocalyptic fiction, scientific research
Four stars: A edge of your seat dystopian with terrifying and original vampires!Lily stuffs a few more items into her bulging backpack. She mentally goes over the list of things she still needs in order to make her escape. For the last few months, Lilly along with her autistic sister Mel have been living on The Farm. The Farm is a fortified place where teenage kids were sent to protect them from the Ticks. Just a few short months ago, the United States was overrun by Ticks. Ticks are terrifying,
I really didnt know what to expect when I first picked this book. The cover seems pretty simple but a little creepy, I think. Well, let me tell you, The Farm was an AMAZING book from start to finish. It has a little bit of everything - romance, suspense, vampires, and a tough cookie for a heroine. Oh, and did I mention a hot guy? Yup, it has it all. The story is told in Lilly, Mel and Carters POV. The way that Emily wrote it, makes it really easy to follow. I love reading in Mels POV. I think
