A review by andrewsweet
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

4.0

For the first half of the book, I thought this would be a 5-star review. I like the characters, and the idea for the story is just outrageous. I love the "cows" - HERE! But when I got about two-thirds of the way through the novel, I realized that I'd pretty much figured out the ending. Also, the relationship between the main character and a secondary character develops in a way that's somewhat drawn out. There were some scenes that could have been left out. That's fine by me, though. I read to the end just the same and was not at all disappointed with the action and the plot unfolding. In a nutshell, this was a great story, well told, and fell just shy of being a 5-star. Well done!
