The Windup Girl

This is one of those books where I felt like I owed it to the book to finish, which is usually not a good feeling. I'm not sure what my hang up was, the premise was very intriguing. Post-apocalyptic future where crop disease (and human disease) has given food suppliers an enormous amount of control over the fate of nations. Alternating narrators eventually cross paths.

I just wasn't very invested in the characters, the story seemed sort of clinically cold and a bit meandering, That being said, I really do appreciate that this was not set in the United States featuring a rag tag group of survivors who live off the land in the wake of an EMP. Or zombies. Or a nuke.

Nice twist on this genre and really neat to read a book that takes place in Thailand.
