From reading Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi, I have seen a spectrurm of varying characters from extremley 1D and bland to the really complex characters most would like to read about.
Starting off with the main character Nailer. Initally from my take his compliuxity seems to be he is only concewrned with survival and doing his job. But as the story progresses I can see there is more to his character than just light crew. We see that later on that he wants to fins a big break so he won't have to stay in the ship fields for the rest of his life. Also It is seen numerous times how he wants to stay away from his druken and high father as it is described that he abuses Nailer.
Next is another major Prima. She is the crew leader of the light crew who makes sure everyone stays in line. From a character stand point it dosen't sppear that she changes that much. She does not hesitate to protect members of her crew from anyone. And when it comes to a chance to make it big with money she will be over it.
Last major character so far is Nita Patel. She per the books description is extremley beautiful and extremley wealthy. In my point in the book it semes that her desires include escaping her father's enemies and staying alive. So far it seems her chartacter does not have much depth but her character was only just introusuced.
This book is structured to follow the life of Nailer the main focous of the book. It follows him through the various events he endures, but tells it in 3rd person. This to me is an intresting format that not only keeps the story going but it keeps it from being boring.
