The Knife of Never Letting Go
By: Patrick Ness
I read this book for a school project last year, and let me tell you it was one of the most interesting books I read that year, compared to Under the Never sky. This book was about a boy who lives in a town of all males, and they can all hear each others thoughts. The way Ness Portrays this is "Noise" he calls it noise an appropriate title for what it really is. A girl comes down from a space ship to do something, and he finds her, and a crazy guy chases them and it all goes to chaos from there. And WAR! Anyway the book as much as it wants to be a sci-fi novel, doesn't truly make it there. I mean the space ship and all that jazz but yes I Loved this book.
I love Under the Never Sky! It's one of my all time favorite books. If the Knife of Never Letting Go is half as good as that novel was, I might just have to read it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really interesting plot. Not so much the city of all males thing, but the fact that they can hear each other's thoughts. You could never have a moment to think privately to yourself. Imagine in class, you're thinking, "[The teacher whose name I have decided to omit] is so boring. I hate his southern accent." Then you have detention because Mr. Omitted-Name heard your insulting thoughts about him.
