What I didn’t like:Īt first, the narrative is so hard to swallow, but I wouldn’t call it “bad writing” because there is a reason for it. He just wants to do what is right, and he agonizes over it because he is at war with what he is being told and his conscience. Even through doing what has to be done to save his and Viola’s life, what he feels he should do as a person, and what he feels pressured to do in order to “come of age,” he fights to stay true to himself. I also love how earnest Todd is as a character. His “dog thoughts” made me laugh and his loyalty to Todd made my heart swell. Not to mention, Todd’s dog, Manchee, is totally my favorite. It brought a whole different level to situations and character interactions. I loved the concept of a planet where people and animals can hear each other. I could not put the book down, I was on the edge of my seat and it doesn’t ever let up!
The Knife of Never Letting Go What I liked: Todd and the girl, Viola, must then run for their lives to a town Todd didn’t know existed called Haven, all the while closely pursued by a deadly secret somehow held for years from Todd by the Prentisstown men. In a snap decision, Todd rescues her from Aaron, Prentisstown’s fanatical priest, who tries to kill her because she doesn’t have Noise. But one month before he is about to become a man, he encounters something he has never seen–or heard–before in his life: a girl.
A disease called the Noise causes everyone’s thoughts to be broadcast and makes it futile for anyone to keep secrets. Todd Hewitt lives in Prentisstown, a village where privacy is impossible. This review has been so long in coming! I finished reading the The Walking Chaos Trilogy by Patrick Ness around Christmas time and I’m so excited to finally share the review with you! Synopsis
