Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Leviathan, this book trailer took my breath away. I found this trailer after I read the book, and realized just how great this trailer is. It does a great job introducing the viewer/reader into the world, explains some small backstory about how this story is similar to the war we all know, and read about during school. The book twists the war into a question about morals, and who is right, The Clankers or The Darwinists.
I love the question at the end of this trailer, "Do You Oil Your War Machines... Or Do You Feed Them?" - I enjoy that question, because when I first listened to it, I thought what's the difference? Wouldn't oil be food to the machines so in a sense it would be the same thing, and feeding the animals means you maintain or oil them to keep them fighting. When you boil it all down, a means of war is the same, no matter how you look at it. That in itself makes this trailer great, it shows and gives a question that really has no answer, and lets the reader guess and figure it out for themselves.
As well, the book brings Alex and Daryn to life, and explains their backstory in a detailed manner. It shows how unique and diverse the characters are, while being so different from each other. They both fight for what they believe in, and shows their world and the fire in their eyes. The characters are so far apart, that their relationship and struggle to agree together, seems to clash and come full bore at every turn. Least that's what I got, tell me what you see when you watched this trailer.
