The Knife Of Never Letting Go- Blog 1

Hey! This is Ray. This is the beginning to my many parted blog about The book: The Knife Of Never Letting Go. (Patrick Ness) I hope you enjoy it and have a great time reading. Thanks a bunch! -Ray

This book (though I have only read 13Pgs) has already been a very imaginative and different read.

It follows Todd, a 12 year old boy with a talking dog Manchee. Todd and Manchee live in Prentisstown, which, happens to be on a different planet. On this planet a few things seem different from our own... Everyone can hear each others thoughts, And there are no women on this planet.

So despite the differences from his planet and ours, Todd is just like a normal "almost man" boy.

Within the first few pages the way the characters talk was an almost comical twist to me. Todd saying things like "Yer" rather than "your" or when Manchee speaks and almost always has something to say about "poo". 

The way Ness creates the thoughts of the character is truly original. Making the thoughts a slurry of ideas and passing memories is an interesting way to view thoughts.  So Far this book has been a fun read and I can't wait to read more!

Thanks a bunch!

Ray.
