4/02/25 - Finished TKONLG

 Hello, feasyheads!

Today, I finished The Knife of Never Letting Go, first in the Chaos Walking series. In addition, I went to (a different) library and ended up checking out Ender's Game, though this will be my third time reading it. I want to actually read the rest of the books afterwards.

I'm going to review TKONLG now. So the language in this book is pretty simple, being told in first-person perspective of Todd Hewitt, who never really learned to read. Some words were misspelled (i.e. direkshuns and creachers) but the writing somehow managed to be descriptive and I got sucked into the story pretty quickly. 

The plot is suspenseful. There are several things which are only revealed at the end of the book (what a boy has to do to become a man, what happened in Prentisstown very long ago) that ke[pt. me reading. In terms of action, there was a mild amount with a knife (holds significance in the story) and so far there was no romance. However, I suspect that will probably change in the other two books.

Overall, the book was a great ride, and I look forward to reading it again. It gets an 8.5 out of ten.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night/3:00 AM,

Uncle Wally
