Ship Breaker is one of those books I don't know how I really feel about it. I enjoyed it, I think. There were just a lot of sections I did not connect with and I think it brought the book down. Joshua Swanson was ann okay narrator, but I never felt like he did a great job with any of the female ch...
Ship Breaker is one of those books that suffers a lot from how close it came to being something spectacular. I started reading, encountered all these marvelous characters and concepts, and I got my hopes up. I got my hopes way up. And my hopes crashed and burned. My hopes are a stripper in LA st...
This book is nothing like I expected it to be. As I began reading, it took on a road that I never seen before. I loved the action, the suspense, but I also enjoyed the fear of anger, hurt, and love the flowed between the pages.The reader is presented with a character that is strong yet fearful of go...
Middle- to young adult novel with a pretty straightforward plot, post-apocalyptic but not as dystopian as The Windup Girl. The worldbuilding is pretty good, though the language is less rich (and less grim) than in his adult works. I try hard to picture the half-men as Daniel Lee's Manimals, but usu...
This book was going to be 3.5 stars until the very end of the book. I loved how the author brought to life the old now abandonned cities and the "teeth" in the bay. Very interesting world and good character development. Working in environmental destruction and change in coastlines to create this ...

You either have money/come from a rich family, or you are poor, scrambling for work and food, selling organs to harvesters, selling yourself.Nailer (around 16, he doesn't really know h...
full review can be found on my blog, holes In My brainFirst and foremost, the world created Bacigalupi is incredible, there’s no other way to say it. It’s far from a utopia, it’s a dangerous and exposed society with harsh social classes and even harsher conditions. Nothing comes easy for people in N...
The worldbuilding is fantastic. It’s imaginative, but flows logically from our own world and decisions. City Killers and the wreckage of several cities where New Orleans once stood, shipping routes across the now-liquid North Pole, the greater disparity between rich and poor and the lack of mobility...
This book is a really good example of why I almost always find YA literature unsatisfying: I am, sadly, no longer a YA (though my A status might be called into question from time to time).See, I just finished this book called The Windup Girl, which is about a post-oil society in which man's unchecke...
