re-reading the series because I saw the movie - forgot how brilliant these books are. there is a big difference between reading something addicting and poorly written (twilight) and something both brilliantly written and addicting. very glad I picked them back up.

Could I have a 3.5 please? I really enjoyed The Wind Up Girl. I know there are problems with it, and a lot of people have taken it apart, and I agree with at least some of those points. But still, I thought it was a breathtaking view of the world in the not-quite-near future. So I was looking forward to seeing what Bacigalupi would do with YA, and a loooot of people have been raving about this book. I'm sad, then, to say that I was disappointed. It begins well: Nailer, a boy of indeterminate age, clambering through the wreck of a ship and scrabbling for copper to salvage and make the quote required by his work crew. It's dangerous, unpleasant work, and that is carried very effectively indeed in the opening pages. In fact, the opening is the most effective - and affective - section of the whole novel: it conveys the reality of life for Nailer and others like him in stark simplicity, complete with dangerous working conditions and the possibility of betrayal. I certainly felt for Nailer in his circumstances, and this sympathy was probably the only thing that kept me reading to the end. Living on a beach with a crowd of similarly destitute and desperate types, Nailer's life is of course no picnic. It's made worse when a massive storm comes in and threatens the entire beach, but starts to look up when the storm proves to have driven a modern, very expensive, clipper ship onto the rocks nearby. Naturally, there are complications, and events proceed neither as he expected nor, entirely, as he hoped. There is fighting, betrayal, hope, and agonising decisions as the story plays out. Through all of this, Nailer is exposed to both the better and worse sides of humanity (and the not-quite-human). It's not quite a coming-of-age story, although given this is (I think) the beginning of a trilogy, perhaps it will evolve as such. It is a discovery-of-the-world story, and Nailer's eyes - until this point restricted to an unpleasant family and a little-hope life of scavenging and starvation - are the perfect vehicle for Bacigalupi's exploration of a dystopia where oil is scarce, oceans have risen, and the divide between rich and poor is even more obvious, in the USA, than it is (believed to be) today. The world created is a compelling one, as dystopias like this, set not-that-far-away, in a world both familiar and unrecognisable thanks to the changes wrought by climate change (readers of The Wind Up Girl will know this is something Bacigalupi is fascinated by), can be. How the world might manage still to transport goods over the globe when there is next to no oil left is one of the big questions addressed here, as is how society would cope with the changes forced on it - and his answer ("not very well, for the poor") is all too realistic. Unfortunately, the world-building was also one of the aspects I had a problem with. Too often I felt that new aspects of the world were thrust onto the reader with little forewarning, leaving me disoriented. It may not have been so bad had Nailer, our eyes, been equally jarred. Much of the time, though, he appeared to be comfortable with these 'new' parts of his world, as though it was what he had expected all along. This discontinuity was disconcerting. The other issue I had was with the characters. Nailer's development is fairly consistent with what we learn of him early on, and there is some lovely characterisation and discussion of his decision-making which genuinely felt real. Many of the other characters, however, are too far in the shade - they get too little light cast on their motivations, leaving them at best two-dimensional and Nailer having to carry the entire story himself... which he's not quite up to. Nailer's work crew, for example - a hodgepodge of ethnicities, religions and outlooks on life - are described well early on and then become largely irrelevant. The one exception is Pima, the boss girl. Yet even here, with Pima getting into the action much more than the other crew, the reader learns next to nothing about her thoughts or views on life. The same goes for a few of the other characters (explaining who they are would be a terrible spoiler, though, so I won't go into details). This lack of depth in the characters was another of the disappointments. My disappointment overall probably stems from the book having been over-hyped, and my own expectations of Bacigalupi. It is a well-realised world, and one that I am pleased to see being examined in a YA context - the possible results of oil scarcity and changes to the weather are definitely worth exploring. The plot is interesting enough, and there's certainly a lot of action; there is some variety in the characters and their situations, which breaks at least some of the monotony stemming from being Nailer-focussed. But I don't think I will be hanging out for the sequel.

I agree with the Village Voice: "Humorous and bawdy... An amusing portrayal of independent women taking life in stride." It's a quick read - I finished it in one evening.

Okay. Better plot than the first book, but I was kind of disappointed with the ending. And I didn't understand Faste's role! He was the annoying bigot cop then he just suddenly fell off the face of the earth. idk idk

I am a big fan of Jane Austen and this book reminded me of her books. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the style of Austen or the Bronte sisters.

As a fan of this genre, it's hard for me to say this but really, this book is self-indulgent. It's the tone of the author that I can't get past and it may be my mood. I may revisit this some day and appreciate it more but for my current mood, I can't get past what I find to be navel-gazing. Normally I adore reading memoirs, or creative non-fiction; this time around, it feels like it's all a bit much to me.
This is an adult novel about the Children's Crusade.I say 'adult' because the content is very adult. Well researched, bit too predictable for my taste, but I enjoyed it. I especially liked the theology, which is a character and definitely moves the plot along.
