The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking Series #1)
To be perfectly honest, I was less than thrilled with the first three-quarters of this book. Viola was introduced, and that was interesting, and then I was lost again entirely. There’s a whole sci-fi aspect of this book that made absolutely no sense to me and made me absolutely not want to read anymore. However, when the plot started moving forward, and the last stretch came into view, it was so much more interesting and I was in love. I laughed, I cried, I actually enjoyed a present tense narrative, and all-in-all, it was a really, really good book. Considering that it took more than three hundred pages to get interesting, I’m not sure if it deserves four stars, but I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt, and going with my gut reaction. (Although, who knows, maybe I’ll change it later.)Either way, this is how you create a cliffhanger and use a present tense narration, and I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.Read more?http://thaliasbooks.tumblr.com/post/42673105719/the-knife-of-never-letting-go-review
