Reviews:
’Ness is both accessible and sophisticated, handling big subjects — terrorism, feminism, genocide, love — in prose that is simple and heart-stopping.’---Sunday Times (UK)
’quote not yet available…stay tuned!’---Booklist (starred review)
’An amalgamation of society’s most brutal facets—fascism, terrorism, torture, ethnic cleansing—with all kinds of relevance to our world… a relentless flurry of heavy-hitting issues, hinging on appeasement, complicity, and maintaining one’s morality in the face of impossible choices.’---Booklist (starred review)
’The complexity of this novel is awe inspiring. Yet the story manages to remain unencumbered and move forward at a brisk pace. The tension of the novel will have readers either unable to put it down or forced to put it down with shaking hands. It is truly a gripping piece of writing.’---Kids Lit blog
’Patrick Ness interviewed about the Chaos Walking series (Knife and Ask) on’---YA Reads.com
’Ness takes his characters to new, dark places…the series continues to develop a fascinating world, and its fully formed characters and conflicts draw attention to difficult issues with a rare, unblinking candor.’---The Horn Book
’Every bit as suspenseful as the first. At a hefty 519 pages, it still reads fast, partly because the pace is utterly break-neck and partly because once you start it, you won’t be able to put it down! The GPC rating (gasps per chapter) is as high in this book as it was in the first.’---Bookends (Booklist blog)
’Patrick Ness has done it again. THE ASK AND THE ANSWER contains the same heart-pounding excitement as THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO. The reader will experience Todd’s internal struggle with every decision he is forced to make in order to survive.’---Teensreadtoo.com
’Award-winning must-read for this year..’---The Sunday Express
