Ship Breaker

#710
Title: Ship Breaker
Author: Paolo Bacigalupi
Publisher: Little, Brown
Year: 2010
336 pages
Audiobook.

Middle- to young adult novel with a pretty straightforward plot, post-apocalyptic but not as dystopian as The Windup Girl. The worldbuilding is pretty good, though the language is less rich (and less grim) than in his adult works. I try hard to picture the half-men as Daniel Lee's Manimals, but usually fail and imagine something like McGruff the Crime Dog.
