  <default-description>We were in the square, in the square where I'd run, holding her, carrying her, telling her to stay alive, stay alive till we got safe, till we got to Haven so I could save her - But there weren't no safety, no safety at all, there was just him and his men...Fleeing before a relentless army, Todd has carried a desperately wounded Viola right into the hands of their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss. Immediately separated from Viola and imprisoned, Todd is forced to learn the ways of the Mayor's new order. But what secrets are hiding just outside of town? And where is Viola? Is she even still alive? And who are the mysterious Answer? And then, one day, the bombs begin to explode...&quot;The Ask and the Answer&quot; is a tense, shocking and deeply moving novel of resistance under the most extreme pressure. This is the second title in the &quot;Chaos Walking&quot; trilogy.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[What an outstanding follow-up to <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2118745.The_Knife_of_Never_Letting_Go_Chaos_Walking_Book_1_" title="The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, Book 1) by Patrick Ness">The Knife of Never Letting Go</a>.  The plot is just as suspenseful, building to a maddening ending that made me want the planned third volume right now.  Without revealing too much, Todd and the other characters change and grow as they face the horrors of dictatorship, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72019465">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I couldn't wait to read this after the cliffhanger of an ending of <em>The Knife of Never Letting Go</em>. If you haven't read the first book of the Chaos Walking trilogy, I really recommend you do. While this could somewhat stand on its own, it doesn't go out of its way to explain events in the first book, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53113376">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love science fiction. And this is GREAT science fiction. Ness does it again with the follow-up to his first book in the Chaos Walking series, &quot;The Knife of Never Letting Go.&quot; While the first book in the series was full of non-stop action, this one slows down a bit and allows both the wor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75537858">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Chicago Public Library refuses to find this book in stock... I'd say it's too recently published, but I just finished reading <em>The Year of the Flood</em> and that was published at the end of September.

    <body><![CDATA[I just didn't get on with this at all.  From the start it irritated me - whereas in the first book, the quirky spelling could be overlooked, this time it just jumped out at me.  The plot wasn't as absorbing as in the first one, and halfway through I thought &quot;when is it going to get going?&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62649386">more...</a>]]></body>
