The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

5.0

This is a book ridiculous in its ability to emote. It was my introduction to Patrick Ness eight years ago and to this day I am still raving about and recommending the book to anyone who will listen. The emotions run deep in this novel, and they bring your own heart along every step of the way. With impeccable -- though not alienating, -- language Ness takes the reader on a journey through a planet's short history and through the very worst that man (and a man) is capable of. There are few characters that it is easy to hate in this book, and the characters you love will bring you close to tears with the choices they make. An incredible beginning to a timeless series.
