I meant to join in the Calico Reaction chat about ‘The Knife of Never Letting Go’ by Patrick Ness, when it ran last year, but even though I’d finished it in plenty of time I didn’t get around to it. I’ll suggest that you go over to her livejournal and read her thoughts on this book, because you’re going to get a lot more information from her (note there are spoilers). I felt the same way she did about a lot of things (loved Ness’ way with creating character voices, the creation of The Noise and the slow reveal that this is a sci-fi novel), but I felt really differently about the emotional impact of this book, but let me start with a quick discussion about the beginning of the book.

( This is one of the very rare reviews where I’ll be missing out plot synopsis and going straight into the issues that I need to talk about. As a consequence there will be spoilers and a lack of plot information. )
