I know Ship Breaker won awards and it was also highly recommended by several friends. But I found it hard to get through for some reason. I didn’t feel a lot of connection to any of the characters and maybe that played the biggest role in my not caring too much for the book. I find that I need to connect with at least one character if I want to care about the story.
I know it’s a series and I have the other books. It was pretty violent and I decided I needed a break before I read the others so I haven’t tackled them yet.
However, I do think I will.

I always feel personally responsible when someone I like doesn’t like a book I liked. As if it’s MY fault! (tee hee!) It is a pretty violent book, but it was one I really, really liked. Maybe I liked it so much because I knew teenage boys would like it, and there are not enough books that teenage boys will like? I don’t know. My son Jake liked it, my daughter hated it.
PS, Bacigalupi’s other book is called The Windup Girl, but Shipbreaker isn’t a sequel. They’re sort of similar in the setting, but the stories don’t connect.
but there is a sequel isn’t therE? the knife of never letting go? no worries it wasn’t you. several people recommended it to me! and i didn’t hate it or anything 🙂
