Scott Westerfield's Leviathan

I gotta admit, I'm really looking forward to reading Leviathan. If anything for the fabulous illustrations by Keith Thompson. It comes out October 6th.

Update: I just finished reading Leviathan and it is SUCH a boy book!!! It's an alternate reality based around WWI - with machines and engineered beasties battling it out. Clankers vs. Darwinists. It's all about battles and fighting and blowing things up and creatures and being brave and... I'm going to be recommending it to every boy I know! :)
