1/50

Book: The Windup Girl
Author: Paolo Bacigalupi
Rating: ****

Review: It took me a little while to get into it, mostly because of the way it jumps between character view points. It always takes me longer to get into a story written in that style because it takes longer for me to get attached to any of the characters and story lines. However, once I was thoroughly immersed, I could hardly put it down. Very interesting, great world building, raises a lot of questions about the way we live now.

The end was a bit ambiguous, which leaves me hoping this means there will be a sequal. If not I'm a tiny bit dissappointed.
