Discussion: The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi (Jocelyn’s Pick) Only Jocelyn and Julie finished

Jocelyn-Loved that book was based off GM foods. Enjoyed the politics and that it was a read you really had to pay attention too. Thought the book would be more about the Windup girl though. 3.5/5

Julie- Did NOT enjoy. Annoying to read. Too much detail or not enough detail. Confusing. Hated political corporation crap. 2.5/5

Ali- Loved the book! Entertained the whole time. Disappointed I didn’t finish.”I’m celebrating me and that takes time.” 4/5

Maren- I don’t like post apocalyptic books, I always want to be one of the first to die. Hated the rape scene. Well written though. 3/5

Meriah- Liked where book was going. Just couldn’t finish because I got so sick. 3/5

Tristana- Didn’t like. To techy. I just wanted to read and not look everything up. 2/5

Favorite Characters: Jocelyn- The Cheshire’s Julie- Dead Jadee Ali- Emiko Maren- Emiko Meriah- Jadee Tristana-?
