Description
Part two of the literary sci-fi thriller follows a boy and a girl who are caught in a warring town where thoughts can be heard — and secrets are never safe. Reaching the end of their flight in THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO, Todd and Viola did not find healing and hope in Haven. They found instead their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss, waiting to welcome them to New Prentisstown. There they are forced into separate lives: Todd to prison, and Viola to a house of healing where her wounds are treated. Soon Viola is swept into the ruthless activities of the Answer, while Todd faces impossible choices when forced to join the mayor’s oppressive new regime. In alternating narratives the two struggle to reconcile their own dubious actions with their deepest beliefs. Torn by confusion and compromise, suspicion and betrayal, can their trust in each other possibly survive?

5By Seitz1982There are no words that can describe how much I love this series. Patrick Ness is my favorite author!Perfection in Literature
5By ZabrzThere are some books that hold meaning and try to bring across a point to the reader. This book, and the whole trilogy, make you think no matter what. It is a book which I have read about 10 times and it still leaves me shocked and awed. It takes your world and flips it. A book that I would recommend to high school dropout as much as to a Harvard professor. It a a masterpiece that is as easy to read as Dr. Seuss but moves you in ways you don't really think a book can. I am telling you right now. Read. This. Book. You'll see what I mean. P.S. Read the first book first...duh....Love it
