Scott Westerfeld is one of my favourite authors. I read almost all his books and I've loved each and everyone of them. He is a brilliant man and I envy the diversity in his writing.
Leviathan is an alternative history of World War One in a Darwinist society. I was really looking forward to finally sinking my teeth into this book but I've been so caught up in my reading for English lately that I've had to put it on the back burner. Yesterday I was exhausted and I felt like reading. Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and Leviathan were beside my bed and I thought Hush Hush was on top and it would make for a nice read. incidentally Hush Hush was not on top and I was far too lazy to reach down and change books and started Leviathan saving Hush Hush for another day.
Like the rest of Scott's books that I've read it sucked me in right away and it was near impossible to put down (evident by the how long it took me to read it.). Unfortunately, I found it rather dry at times. But not the type of dry that makes you say "ugh this book is boring" the type of dry that's suspenciful and makes you read faster.
This is not Scott's best book. I give it 8 eggs out of 10. If it was anyone else it would have gotten a worse rating but I love Scott Westerfeld more than life. If you like his work or the first world war you'll defiantly find this book interesting.
