How Green This Land How Blue This Sea A Newsflesh Novella eBook Mira Grant

After reading all the mixed reviews I decided I wanted a little more of Mira Grant's "Newsflesh" world. Enjoyable.

I Love the honesty of how our surviving editor of "The End of World Times" is uncomfortable with traveling. His realization that Australia is so different in order to not only survive but is truly able to live in a world that the KA infection has destroyed. That the Australians' quirky choices in how to live with KA has given them the ability to really live a free life that the rest of the world gave up in order to feel safe.

Not a necessary part of the series but I'm glad I took the chance and read it

How Green This Land How Blue This Sea A Newsflesh Novella eBook Mira Grant Reviews

I'm a huge fan of the "Newsflesh" trilogy and I became very excited about this book because it's set where I live, in Australia. Zombie kangaroos, killer koalas and hungry wombats - how can that not attract attention? I had very high expectations.

This book takes place pretty much immediately after the final book in the "Newsflesh" trilogy and features one of the characters from it, Mahir Gowda, one of the bosses of "After the End Times" newsblog.

To support the Australian team he travels there to meet them and to see the "rabbit proof fence" now re-purposed as the world's biggest zombie/livestock corral. A zombie kangaroo, never-mind a mob of rabid, fast, hungry kangaroo zombies is a lot more scary than the human zombies but sadly they don't feature much. Also, you already know this is where it's heading, however you have to wait for almost half of the book before anything happens. Mahir finds out that the Aussies having already faced down hostile habitats and fauna for centuries, "were unimpressed" with the zombie raising. This point is repeated over and over and driven home with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

I felt like this book was written by someone who's impression of Australia was taken from stereotypes, wikipedia and using "Google earth/street view". There are parts where I was nodding and agreeing and parts where I was wondering whether to laugh or cry.

In the end it was good but it just wasn't as gripping as the author's previous books and I felt a bit annoyed getting to 93% and the book was finished. This is a short story at just 130 pages long.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to read this if you hadn't read the trilogy first. There are a lot of references back to the trilogy and they are briefly touched upon/explained but I don't think it would be enough without the full background. At the same time I'd say - do NOT read this if you plan to read the trilogy, it contains massive spoilers for the plot in those 3 books.

It was my love of the trilogy, that this followed immediately after it and the Australian setting that raised my expectations left me giving it the midd-range rating of 2/12. I am still a huge fan of the author and will read more of her books.
Another in the Newsflesh trilogy. This one is a novella that, unlike the other two novellas, must be read in order! If you have not read the actual Newsflesh Trilogy a lot of the information in this one will not go with the story. Although this is a novella, it is almost like a continuation of the first three.

That being said, this one isn't quite as horrific as say, The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell, which was off the charts horrifying, but this one does have its moments. Here we actually get to see more of how things are handled in Australia, which needless to say, is quite different than how the rest of the world hands the zombiepocalypse. That doesn't mean they do it wrong, but just different.

I loved that we are basically getting a first hand view of what it would be like if this were to happen in Australia. Poor wombats, koalas, and kangaroos are over amplification weight but that isn't going to stop people from protecting them. Seems like a disaster in the waiting right?!

This story did keep me on the edge of my seat, much like all of Mira Grant's writing. But there was also a relaxed way about it. It was not at all as intense as some of her other work, although some of the situations were. A little bit slower but still deep in zombie territory. Liked it but didn't love it.
Confession I haven't read the second two books in the trilogy. This novella has spoilers for those books. You've been warned.

But it's not the big story I want to talk about. It's the way this story makes plain what was already coming pretty clear in Feed. The zombies are us, and our need for perfection and security. It's about how much we are willing to give up because we are afraid. Then she took that theme and stood it on its head and asked what it would be like to live with terror, er, zombies, while feeling more empowered. What it would be like to say, "We can't eradicate it, we don't want to stop living our lives, can we find a third way?". In this story, the third way is the rabbit-proof fence, and in a way it's an excellent metaphor for understanding and observing things without just shooting the heck out of them.

I think if you are looking for the hire-wire thrills and zombie-infested nightmares of the other books, this story will be disappointing. If you are looking for Grant to bend your thinking around in some interesting ways, this might be the story for you.

Read if You have already read the trilogy or you don't mind spoilers. You want to see more of the world Grant is imagining.

Skip if You are looking for more conspiracy, murder, and creepiness.

Also read And All The Stars, an Australian author writing about a different kind of cataclysm.
