I struggled with the first 70 or so pages feeling slow or like not much was happening, but when the first of many plot twists occurred I couldn't put it down. Give it a chance.

BOOO it felt like the longest book o have ever listened too! Good things first: I listened to this as an audiobook read by Nick Podehl and he was wonderful. Great Job. The little polish boy who’s name I cannot spell (tomage?) iconic. I love him, he was the highlight of this book. 

Bad stuff: PLEASE PATRICK NESS EDIT YOUR BOOKS. The pacing and mystery was actually really good until we meet Tomage (?) and Rajean (again audiobook I do not know how to spell these names) and then the book begins to drag on for chapters and chapters of meaningless interactions. It’s like Patrick couldn’t decide what kind of book he wanted to write and decided to include a scene (or multiple chapters!!) that followed one plot line that eventually went nowhere. If he had answered a single!! question maybe I could forgive him but the ending is stupid.  The premise is promising but he ends it stupidly. Go watch the matrix, it’s essentially the same thing.

I wanted to give up when I had 45 minutes left and could barely slog through the ending. That should’ve been the most on the edge of your seat part of the book.

4.75

"It was suddenly as if, for the briefest of moments, the burden had been lifted, like there was no gravity at all, like he had finally set down the heavy load he’d been carrying.. "
Hard to write a review of such a character oriented book. No surprise that I loved this book. Patrick Ness has a way of pulling you into the story every time. All the snipets of the past were so good even when it broke my heart. Love it
