Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well. Um. That wasn't as good as I'd hoped.
I wanted to read this because the MOVIE looks amazing. And I have a rule. You have to read the book first. So I did.
The premise is intersting - the cities MOVE. Like, they are on wheels and drive around. And eat other cities. Not literally (honestly, I didn't quite get that at first), but rather they overtake them and dismantle them. I'm not entirely sure what happens to the people who lived there. I feel like it was glossed over. Are they killed? Do they become prisoners? I don't get it.
