Spare and Found Parts is about a girl
named Nell Crane with a ticking heart who lives in a city devastated
by an epidemic, and who decides to create a robot companion. The
author's writing style is one that might be a little confusing at
first, but then adds to the total effect of the book. I enjoyed the
plot and how people are afraid of computers ever since some
mysterious epidemic devastated the people on this island. I wish that
the author would elaborate a bit more on what exactly happened,
because I feel like it would add a lot to the total story. I also
liked how she introduced different cool aspects, like secret
societies, throughout the book, but I feel as if she sometimes used
them as plot devices and could have used them more to improve the
total story. If there were a second book, I probably would read it to
see where the characters go and hopefully find out more about this
novel's mysterious past. I think people who are fans of futuristic
post-disaster books will enjoy this book because there are lots of
cautionary notes about the dangers of technology.
