If the author had chosen just a few of these characters to concentrate on then I feel confident she could have at least salvaged part of the story line. Not only that but what little story the book did have felt disjointed and jumbled together because of the splintering of the many points of view of all the different characters in the book. But that’s exactly what Empty did, it read like a boring memo about the frightening rate we are using our resources. No one wants to read about the horrors of the environment without a decent story behind it, and this is especially true in a young adult/children’s book. It was a preachy book that was filled with hollow characters and a poor plot. I thought it looked fun, exciting, and like a great book to read.Įmpty bored me from page one. I had read Xisle by Steve Augarde and Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi, and this book sounded in my opinion a lot like these books, because of its dystopian future based on a lack of resources.
