TITLE: Ship Breaker
AUTHOR: Bacigalupi, Paolo
GENRE: Science Fiction
DATES READ: 4/29/2012 - 5/15/2012
MY RATING: 3/5
I purchased this book on the way out of B&N with my boyfriend because the metallic cover caught my attention. They were alongside books with a sign that stated "If you like The Mortal Instruments series..." which I love!!! So I decided to pick it up...
...I enjoyed this book immensely, but I must admit that I actually like the cover more than I like the book. I think that's the first time that's ever happened to me. The author has a wonderful style and I can understand why this book was such an award winner. I guess it just didn't stand out for me.
Toward the end of this story I got a little restless. However, I have to give the author credit for being able to take such a futuristic world and make it believable. While it was easy to read and easy to enjoy, something was missing for me (maybe the pace threw me off?). I just wasn't my proverbial cup of tea.
I feel that this is a good young adult intro into science fiction, and would definitely recommend it for teens. Not really enough substance for an older audience.
