The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness

'The Knife of Never Letting Go' is just one of those books that shapes your life.
Once you've picked it up, you need incredible will power to put it down again (even for people who don't read often.)
It is amazing from the first line, and I'm not even exaggerating.
And it's not just narrowly brilliant either. It's not one of those books that you say: "It was great! Could not put it down! But it's not your thing."
'The Knife of Never Letting Go' is almost everyone's thing. Except people that struggle with too much violence. By that I mean: every teenage boy loves it.
Let me explain what I mean when I say it's not a narrowly brilliant thing.
Me, a sixteen year-old girl, using my own words, thinks that it is "one of the ace-est books I've ever read".
My brother, a thirteen year-old boy, has christened it his favourite book.
My friend from school, a fifteen year-old boy, thanked me for recommending it to him.
And my Dad also agrees that you can't get much better than 'The Knife of Letting Go'.

'The Knife of Never Letting Go' is written at an alarming pace that never lets up. It's a constant thrill to read it. Getting bored is not an option as your heart races at every page.
Patrick Ness is indeed a phenomenal writer.
The characters are written in such a way that without even trying, or indeed meaning to, you fall instantly in love with them.
Never before have I read such amazingly, cleverly crafted characters.

But the above all the most outstanding thing about 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' has to be its originality.
When I say nothing quite like 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' exists, I truly mean it. Because there isn't anything like this out there.

Don't believe me? Find out for yourself.

The Blurb - My Introduction

Hi, I'm Molly and I'm extremely new to this, so you're going to have to bear with me.

I'm an aspiring author and an avid reader. I'm not going to bore you with anything to do with my writing, far from it. I'm here to rave about my favourite books and recommend them to absolutely anyone.
However, I'm only going to tell you about the best, not the most popular.
I'm 100% a Twilight and Harry Potter fan, and I know how amazing they are, but let's admit, there are so many other books out there to be read.

There are a ridiculous amount of phenomenally good novels just shouting for our attention.

I'm - hopefully - going to awaken you to some of the best, and in some cases, life changing books.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
