Ship Breaker

This week I read Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi. It is a book about a futuristic world in which oil is extremely scarce, along with copper and iron. The poor people work on breaking old oil tankers for the steel and the copper wiring, which gives the book its name, as the main characters job is  a ship breaker. He comes across a ship wreck from a hurricane a few days before, and begins to strip it of copper and silver immediately. Then he comes across a rich girl who he saves in hopes of a better life. it is a good book, and I would recommend this book to all who might be interested in a futuristic dystopian novel.
