I currently am reading Ship Breaker and as soon as I started reading this book I could tell I would enjoy it. There are three characters that the book concentrates on at all times but some come and go but the main character Nailer is always part of the group. Even just 50 pages in you can tell that they all value loyalty and everyone is family but money can get into the way of that. All of the characters in the book are desperate for money and work in ship breaking at Bright Sands Beach(which from what I can tell is somewhere maybe 250 to 500 miles from New Orleans) which is basically a beach that is covered in wrecked oil tankers that they are hired to venture inside of them risking death and injury for almost no pay. The reason they keep going is because there is a man called Lucky Strike who found a pocket of oil in a ship (The book is set in the future when there is no oil left and its very valuable) and sold it all and got out of the ship breaking business and is the richest man on the beach.

        This time that the book is set in really made me think because we all know that the prices of gas is going up and the oil wont be around in the future so it made me think about what could really happen in the future when oil isnt available any more.
