Great series. Moving and really, really great action. Powerful characters and AWESOME setting! Noise is probably one of the coolest fantasy world aspects I've read about. Nothing else to say but Ness is definitely a master.

INCREDIBLE. Love this book, might just become the next "Hunger Games!" The beginning is slow, but its like a perfect mystery book, you have to read it twice to understand the foreshadowing and massive chain of events that lead up to a climax. Deserves 5/5 stars for sure.

One of the best books I have ever read! The Knife Of Never Letting Go had me hooked from the very first sentence. I just couldn't put it down. Although a little gruesome in some parts I thoroughly recommend it!

I flew through this book in no time. It was amazing! The writing style took some getting use to but added just the right touch that made you fall in love with the main character. Perfect balance of adventure, suspense and a little bit of young love. Can't wait to continue with series!

One of the best things about the book is how quickly you are sucked into it. Within the first chapter, you are all over the story. Like KileyP said, this book has some sad moments. Moments that made me angry too. Enough to stop reading the book for a week. How is that for evoking an emotional response?
