APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Todd Hewitt lives in Prentisstown, a place where men’s choppy, inconsequential and violent thoughts create an unceasing Noise in the air and all the women have perished. This first book in the dystopian Chaos Walking series introduces the troubling legacy of New World—a planet of untamed natural beauty and astounding manmade horrors. The story thrusts its two young protagonists, Todd and Viola, into a desperate struggle to evade an army hell-bent on stripping them of their humanity. Transcending the genres of teen and science fiction, The Knife of Never Letting Go is a hauntingly well-written, nail-biting novel about a boy forced to question everything he’s been taught and find his own true north.

Really good book. So much emotion was put into this book, I love the way it’s written, you really feel connected with Todd.
The plot will draw you in
And have you craving the rest of the trilogy. Could not put this book down despite my OCD about the grammar in this book. Incredibly written and I am so glad I read this series!! Kudos!
