"People see stories everywhere," Regine says. "That's what my father used to say. We take random events and we put them together in a pattern so we can comfort ourselves with a story, no matter how much it obviously isn't true. We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we'd go crazy." This is a book about hope. More Than This is about existentialism and is stuffed with insane plot twists. Yes, true. But more importantly, this book tells us there's always hope, as long as we hold on, asI'm not sure what I was expecting that to be, but it was not that....in the best way possible.I loved the characters and the plot and the world......but I don't really want to say much about them. I'm of the opinion of most everyone else that you should go in knowing as little as possible about this book!
While I try to avoid spoilers in my reviews, my overall impression of this book may this time be a spoiler in itself, so proceed with caution!This is a fairly mind warping dystopian mystery left open to so much interpretation after 470 pages, it's kind of amazing. I mean, after that many pages you would think you have some pretty good idea about what is going on. But, instead, each page adds more to the mystery. This book was very easy to be intrigued by. The writing is very good and the
this book treated me like a dog treats a ragdoll. and i have no idea where to begin. patrick ness has written a game-changer that i'm not even really sure how to approach. this is a YA novel. i've lost half of you book snobs right there. but i think that is my point. YA has been breaking free of its presumed confines for years. when i was a teen, YA novels were largely disposable, empty-calorie entertainment trifles meant to keep us off the streets, off drugs, and not full of babies. they were
After reading:GOD DAMN IT PATRICK NESS. GOD. DAMN. ITTTTTTTT.Well. I guess it's no secret that I'm obsessed with Patrick Ness's work and I worship the ground he walks on and yada yada. I anticipated this book for a long time and then put off reading it forever because ... I don't know, I guess I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to my expectations.But I shouldn't have doubted, because this book was fantastic. Very emotional, intense, vivid, and engaging, and with a great cast of characters.
What a strange story. Id even go as far as to say that its weird and very much of the unbelievable sort. Patrick Ness doesnt care, though. He likes to confuse the reader. At least twenty times throughout the novel, Seth says he remembers and understands, when in fact its a lie. Well it is original, thats indubitable. Seth wakes up in an empty world after drowning. Later on, he finds two other survivors? Apparently, he woke up from the virtual world he was living in. Thats all I can say. Its not
5 huge stars for one of my favourite books of all time!So. Damn. Good. Always wishing for a sequel as that ending is JAW DROPPING because you REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MAIN CHARACTER. What is it with Patrick Ness and cliffhangers anyway? I've read 7 of his books (this was the first I read) and four of the ones I've read (including all books in the chaos walking trilogy) ended with cliffhangers? I NEED MORE SEQUELS.-This is me reading this the second time round and I have to say I
