Asking the Wrong Questions names Paolo Bacigalupi’s Pump Six one of the best books of the year: “Joining the small but elite ranks of utterly essential genre short story collections, Pump Six is a retrospective of a career that has, in the span of less than a decade, established Bacigalupi as one of the most distinctive and consistently excellent writers working today.”

SF Signal’s Best Books of 2008 includes: Wastelands, Pump Six, The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Vol. 2, The Living Dead, and (as a “read-but-not-published-in-2008 title”) Majestrum.

Bibliophile Stalker names its best books of 2008, including The Living Dead (“Blew me away. Okay, here’s the thing: this is a thick anthology and each story will do one of two things. Either it’ll make an impression on you or it represents a field in the zombie mythos. If nothing else, the sheer content will overwhelm you.”) and Pump Six “Bacigalupi is one of the hottest SF writers that deals with current issues and this is evident from his most recent stories. This is honestly what I imagine modern science fiction to be.”

BookSpotCentral names its "Favorite Reads of 2008," which also includes Wastelands and Pump Six.

Adventures in Reading’s Joe Sherry names Liz Williams as one of his top author discoveries of 2008.
