"As incredible as it seemed, time kept moving forward for the rest of the world. The rest of the world wasn't waiting." 

Zu diesem Buch habe ich bereits (bevor ich wusste, dass es ein Buch gibt) den Film gesehen und natürlich geheult wie ein Schlosshund. Obwohl mir die Geschichte nun nicht neu war, mich also wenig überrascht hat, hat es mich wieder emotional so mitgenommen. Die Story verlässt sich aber auch nicht auf Überraschungen, es ist ok, wenn du Dinge vorher weißt und sie dir dann bestätigt werden (was hier eine zusätzliche Bedeutung bekommt), es macht es nicht weniger wichtig und/oder emotional. Es ist, wie ich es erwartet habe sehr schön und simpel geschrieben, ich werde immer größerer Fan von Patrick Ness. 

"There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between."
