I can't even express the awesomesauciness of this book

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I know, right? Have you read them all? :)

[[deleted user]]

No, I've only read the first one and the mini one from Viola's point of view so far. But I am working on getting a hold of the second one!

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

AAHHHH. That is tragic. They're soooo good. I think the third is my fave. It's so totally epic … definitely one of my favorite books ever <3 <3 <3 The ending is rather evil, though.

I'm rereading this book! <333333 I really want to read the other two, but I have to take an AR test on this book and the last time I read it was back in July, so I need to refresh my memory!

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

Yes! Now Jane will have to read this!

[Talia]

Where'd you stop? The beginning can get boring at parts, but middle to the end (THE END ESPECIALLY) it's so exciting!

[★ Jess]

This is one of my favorite books ever.
It is just so unlike anything else I have ever read, and the writing style is magnificent!
Its hard to choose a favorite part, but I really loved the cliff-hanger ending.
It is such a brilliant book :)

[Jillian]

I saw this was the new book yesterday, and this morning I see the book displayed on the new book section in my school's library. Perfect Timing =] I started reading it and I like it, but I'm nowhere near the middle, so I hope it gets better =] The writing style is interesting =] Kinda hard to get used to

[Mitch]

Okay. Now I really really really really want to read this book. I've heard nothing but good things about it. But now I really want to read it.

You have to get past the beginning; it starts off kinda slow but it gets really really good. :) I say you should give it another try.

I agree, I found it very hard to get used to at first. It's kind of like "WTF is this book?!" at the beginning, but I got totally hooked. The writing style is so interesting, and I love the characters; they're just so adorable!

READ IT READ IT READ IT. What on earth are you waiting for?

[Jillian]

I'm on page 162, i've officially gotten used to the writing, and i'm getting more and more hooked!!!! ahhh. But yeah the beginnign is kind of boring but at the very end of Part One it picks up. What I wanted to say before I forgot I really like it in books where you can read different dialects. Since in life not everyone speaks the same way, and that's what I like in Huck Finn where you get to expierence different dialects in writing. And in this book, even tho it's being told by a boy who can't really write or read, you still get to see different dialects of the new World. I'm at the part with Hildy and her husband, and i like how there dialects are diff than Todd's. *exhales* okay that's basically what I wanted to say =]

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Agreeeed. Yeah, I like all the dialects too. Awww I love Hildy and uhh whatshisface Gilf? Is that his name? Anyway, yeah. I really need to reread this book.

OMIGODDD I KNOWWW WASN'T IT?!

[tesni]

YES YES IT IS AWESOME.

[Autumn]

I want to read this book so. effing. bad.

[[deleted user]]

I would send you the book if I could, but my friend has it and it would be stalker-ish.

[micah]

When you put a new book on the list what AGE range like this one has a TON of bad words, I don't really mind, but Poison Study was in the Adult section in the library which makes makes me question.

p.s.
i didn't like the knife of never go, to many missed spelled words ( and I know that was on purpose ) but ya.

[Krys]

I don't understand how anyone can dislike the Knife of Never Letting Go.

well I'm not done with it yet. I just don't like it right now

[Krys]

Are you at the beginning part?

[micah]

Kriss wrote: "Are you at the beginning part?"

I'm about a hundred pgs. into it

[micah]

more actually

[Krys]

It gets better the farther into the book you get, but the beginnings pretty good too. More so after you read the end, if that makes sense.

Thats the reason I didnt like it the first time I attempted to read it! I thought it was stupid that it was written with loads of spelling mistakes, but then I picked it up again a few months later, read into the story and really got into the stream-or-conciousness style of writing. I <3 TKONLG

*cough* I love how you misspelled "misspelled".

It's called a stylistic choice. Giving a book some originality. And there really aren't all that many misspelled words; at least there's a consistent pattern in the misspellings, so you can tell Patrick Ness thought hard about the style. You can still understand what's going on, and that's all that matters. If you can't see past the style you are missing out big-time. These books have a very powerful message. ;)

Makes sense to me. It was one of those books I loved more after I finished reading it … like the more I thought about it, the more genius I realized it was. And after I read the second book I was like "Okay. These books are officially the best thing ever." :D

[Krys]

Same with me Brigid XD I love the books so much. I still need to read the third ):

[★ Jess]

Behind Harry Potter Boxset and The Book Thief, Chaos Walking are my favorite books ever.
It is easily my favorite trilogy too.
I think that The Ask and the Answer is the best of them all, however Monsters of Men is not far behind at all.

Oh, did you all know that Ness wrote a short prequel named
The New World?
It is a 15 page short story about Viola and her parents landing on New World.
I gave it 3 stars, and put it on my enjoyable shelf. Its definitely worth reading. Its available on kindle, but its free here it is:

Gaahh I know! The Book Thief is one of my favorites, too. (*cough* I haven't read Harry Potter yet *cough* But I will.) Monsters of Men was my favorite in the trilogy. :)

I loved The New World too! Although I was slightly disappointed because I was kind of hoping we'd get to see Viola and Todd meeting through Viola's perspective. But oh well … It was still amazing. XD
