so very very good, but I can't possibly come up with a fulfilling ending on my own - still, I can appreciate why it ended the way it did

3 hours - I read this book for the first time years ago, and I absolutely loved it. And now, rereading it, I still loved it. I love the premise, I love the metaphors, I love the characters. I believe this was the book that got me into reading Ness' works actually. My only issue is the ending feels a little too abrupt compared to the rest of the book. I would have loved just one extra scene or chapter, even just repeating the opening scene again, although I understand that the open-ending is there for a purpose. I love that this book doesn't tell you what is real and what is not, what is metaphor and what is happening, I just love this book.

Wow. What an ending. This is actually the first Patrick Ness book I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad I went into this not knowing a lot. Definitely an oldie but a goodie.
