The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

Um... Wow. This book is intense. And I mean INJECTING A COFFEE AND AMPHETAMINE COCKTAIL INTO YOUR EYEBALL intense.

It's pretty violent, it's pretty gory, it's very fast paced and fairly twisty, but the real intensity comes from the incredible rawness with which the lead character experiences

Catching Fire is The Hunger Games with a bonus train journey and old people dying.

I didn't have great expectations of Mockingjay and it's not wonderful, but she is trying to do something completely different and it's a surprisingly mature book. The only sour spot is a tacked on epilogue. When I rule the world, tacked on epilogues will be punishable in some yet to be decided unpleasant way.

:nods:

Manchee the dog is awesome, and I love Ness for what happened.

Yeah, you called Catching Fire right. Dude the end... the end, I mean jesus.

That was about the most heavy handed piece of exposition I've seen anywhere, about anything, I was actually embarrassed

"Scott Westerfeld once said that the reason he wrote YA was because that was the age of firsts: Your first kiss, your first meaningful lie, the first time you betray a friend."

Meh. Firsts carry on for the rest of your life (or at least they have in my life so far); or at least until you run out of imagination.
