This review is from: The Knife of Never Letting Go: Chaos Walking: Book One (Hardcover)
The Knife of Never Letting Goby Patrick Ness Publisher:Candlewick # of Pages: 479 Age Rating; +13 My Rating: 5 Stars Where I got it: The Library Synopsis: A dystopian thriller follows a boy and girl on the run from a town where all thoughts can be heard -- and the passage to manhood embodies a horrible secret. Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him -- something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is. Review: This book starts with one of the BEST sentence ever written in the whole world and here it is, "The First thing you find out when yer dog learn to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say. About anything. Neat, right? it's not boring at all. And the sentence are full of misspelling, slang and paragraphs that just run on and on, but the author wrote it like that on purpose because this book is written from Todd view and he didn't have alot of schooling but all the more, it seem more real. The plot was different from other that I read instead of boy runs away, meets a girl and fall in love with her and stops all the bad guys with his dog and they love happily after, it's different from that and this book shows that boy and girl CAN meet and be friends! All of the characters including the bad guys seem very real, I mean, Todd was just like any other boy. I am going to say it again but the whole book from the writing to the plot to the characters, it all seem very real. Speaking of characters, we can't forget Manchee (The dog) or Viola. Manchee was so CUTE! And that part of the sentence on the top of my review was Manchee and Todd talking to each other. And Viola I really like too. If you really like or love reading dystopia books then you have to read this book and if you don't well, I think that you are missing out on it. It was amazing! I give it 5 stars. Enjoy! :D:D:D
