    The Windup Girl
    I really enjoyed this book. It touch on a lot of themes that are relevant to our society today, from the dangers of technology to racism. The story was entertaining and the ending left me wanting more. In a good way of course :)

    Impressive and thought provoking
    This is one of the best dystopian books I’ve read. Told from several points of view, the story unfolds painting a vivid picture of future Thailand and the rest of the world. There are so many layers to the plot and characters that I was thinking about it long after I was done reading. It is not a book for everyone. You’ll not have any cheap thrills, one dimensional characters or neat packaging in here. The future world is a dark place filled with selfish people, each striving to fulfil their agenda. One of the best books I’ve read this year. Bacigalupi is an author I’ll be reading again.
