The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

salston's review against another edition

5.0

Todd comes from a town where everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts, the animals can talk, and there are no women. What's up with that? This non-stop action adventure series will answer most of those questions and keep you up late nights reading, at least it kept me up.

No to si ze mě děláte prdel. Nutně a co nejrychleji potřebuju druhý díl. Panebože, panebože, panebože, co se to zrovna stalo?!

Tuhle knížku jsem začala číst s vlastně vůbec žádným očekáváním. Prostě jsem si ji půjčila jen tak v knihovně, abych se doma přes prázdniny nenudila. Sakra, jak jsem měla vědět, že to bude tak zatraceně dobrý a vyklube se z ní jedna z nejlepších knížek? A to prosím nepřeháním.(Todda zbožňuju, Violu zbožňuju, Mancheeho zbožňuju, starostovi bych nejraději usekla koule a stejně tak i Aaronovi, i když u něj věřím, že by mu narostly nové a šel by o dům dál.)

Je to jedna z těch knih, která je napsána z pohledu kluka, který má srdce na správným místě.

Sakra.

Vážně potřebuju další díl.

If I could give it more stars, I would. One part had me BAWLING and I mean bawling my eyes out. I truly felt like I

had lost Manchee.He was/is my favorite man’s best friend.

This book is probably in my top five (not that I’ve read many) and I’d recommend it to anyone I’ve met.

Though I will say I hate all the sad endings I really thought there was gonna be something in Haven😭😭

I love the personal font/speaking of writing I’m obsessed. I’m obsessed with the characters and just everything. Ugh, can’t wait to read book two. ALSO HOW DID THIS BOOK NOT BECOME A MOVIE WHAT THE EFF.

Preparing to finally read the last book. After 3 years lol. I listened to the audiobook it was okay.
First read 3-5 July 2014
Five months .I've had this book for 5 months , and I just read it now . I got it without knowing anything about it except that it's VERY hyped , and that it has raving reviews . Let me tell you , it definitely deserves the hype .
The main protagonist is a boy who can't read or write well that's why the book is full of grammar mistakes and misspellings and even though this would usually annoy me , it didn't . It made it more realistic and surprisingly more fun .
Learn from my mistake and read it ASAP, it's a fantastic book .

Was reading considering teaching to 8-10th graders in a Christian school. Too much profanity, lots of misspelled words, and the general overtone of violence made it a no go.

I have not felt the way I did at the end of this book in so long. I had to go to work but I so just wanted to call in sick and go buy the next book.

I wasn’t sure how much I would connect to these characters or if I would even enjoy this book but, how I fell in love with the characters and plot.❤️

It was very difficult for me to read the language of this book. The intentional misspellings tripped me up and took me out of the book for easily the first third.

However, once I got past that I really enjoyed the story line. I felt like the characters were pretty well written and found the mystery was comfortably predictable (in a good way) with enough surprises to keep it engaging. Like in all good stories, there are areas I wished were fleshed out more. The book kept a good pace and ended on a nice cliffhanger.

I will definitely be reading the next books and would recommend this one as well.
