I just can't bring myself to care about this book. There's not enough character development for any of the characters. I don't understand why anybody did anything. I also had a really hard time believing in a world where humans can survive with out any plant life except genetically modified corn tha...
Enjoyed this book even with its plot holes. As Banyan the protagonist and 1st person narrator was likable, had a very good moral compass considering the world he lived in, it was easy to like the story he told about his life building artificial trees in a world where no more natural trees exist due ...
* the brutal world and the artificial trees were all described beautifully.* saw the "twist" from a mile ago!* the ending was disappointing-if those were the last trees on the planet, was it smart of Banyan to destroy those? And why not end the story right there?

Locust have destroyed all food supply, they eat human flesh and a dystopian government controls all food supply....
As seen on Stumptown Books.I don't usually reiterate the summary but the plot is pretty complicated. In the words of Inigo Montoya: Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.*******The world has changed.Rootless introduces us to a post-apocalyptic melting pot. The only food that grows is ...
