A review by mayhap
Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi

4.0

I enjoyed this book a lot more than its older half-sister, [b:The Windup Girl|6597651|The Windup Girl|Paolo Bacigalupi|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1278940608s/6597651.jpg|6791425]. (Not that I hated that book, by any means! I just don't completely get the level of adulation!) Pacigalupi's strengths shine (rustily, like the gorgeous dust jacket) in the crucible format of YA lit.

Pair with [a:Scott Westerfeld|13957|Scott Westerfeld|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1199748511p2/13957.jpg]'s Ugliesverse for an interesting compare/contrast.
