The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1)
by

i have never considered myself a maternal person. it takes effort for me to be around babies and children. i have always been told ‘its different when its your own kid.’ they couldnt be more wrong.
all it took was a young boy named todd, his dog, and how his love became the loudest sound in a world that is never silent. i would literally do anything for todd, my precious son. i felt like such an overprotective, yet proud, parent throughout this entire book.
and my bond with todd was only strengthened by the remarkable storytelling, a kind of storytelling that could only come from patrick ness. this is a story about bravery, loss, humility, acceptance, and growth. i clung to every word of this book and was transported into a world that ended up being a knife that went straight to my heart and never let go.
this touching story is nothing short of remarkable and one i know i will be reading for the rest of my life.
↠ 5 stars

Wonderful review, Jessica! <3 x
So amazingly happy you loved this 💕
awww. thank you!! <3
So glad you loved it!! Looks like a good book.💜
thank you!! and it really is!! :)
you're gonna love the next 2 books!!
i started reading this a couple months ago but couldn't get past the first few chapters, should i give it another ago?
was it because of the language/the way todd talked? i remember getting really annoyed by it the first time i read this. but it gets easier to read as you continue.
Yessss! I feel you. I mean, I’ve always been a momma person, but I felt the same about Todd (and the story) as you did. Just wanted to protect him so hard. This is a series I gift to the young readers in my life, when they get to that age when they’re ready for older books. I hope the movie does it justice.
awww. what a lovely comment!! so happy you enjoyed this, as well. and if/when i have my own kids, i will definitely be giving this book to them when they reach that age! :)
I’m glad you liked this book
I'm so so so glad you ended up loving this, jess!
It is great that you developed a bond between the main character todd and yourself. This book did contain many examples of bravery and perseverance. It took Todd alot of courage to leave on his own.
