The Wind Up Girl

Although The Wind-Up Girl was a slow starting book, I came to enjoy it the longer I read. One thing I particularly liked was the use of biology references throughout the story. One thing I found interesting was that I could actually see this happening in our world. It doesn't seem that far fetched to me that the global climate change would cause these food monopolies that basically rule the world. I liked that I could put myself in story because it didn't seem that far-fetched to happen in the future. Also, I thought the GMO's were very interesting since people spends millions of dollars on research of genetically altered plants to improve crops and their ability to withstand stress. Overall, I thought the book was very interesting with many interesting characters making up the story. I would definitely recommend it to my biology friends!
