The Knife of Never Letting Go, by Patrick Ness is about a young boy, Todd Hewitt about to become a "man," living in an environment were women don't exist. One day Todd, along with his dog Manchee travel along the outskirts of town, and accidentaly come across their very first girl to see. Todd is then told to leave Prentisstown, the very place were he grew up. It is after that the intense and thrilling adventure begins. Todd and his dog find themselves running for their lives from the men of Prentisstown; accompanied by the girl they found, who's name is later revealed as Viola. The three journey very long trying to survive dangers from crocodiles, to a murderous maniac; all in order to reach Haven, the place where they were supposedly told they'd be safe.
After reading this book I found that I was very interested in reading the second book of the trilogy, because it ended in such a cliff hanger. I thought this book was very adventurous, and tense. I liked the layout of the book because it really got me intrigued. You are always predicting what is going to happen, and for the really shocking parts you just want to keep reading.
I will probably read the last book in the trilogy given how exciting the first two are.

I keep hearing about this book. I want to read it, but there's a ton of other stuff too and I probably won't get to for a while!

This book looks really good along with MANY other books but the way you told us about it I would love to read it.
I thought this was a very good review, Olivia, so I decided to read it. I was very irritated by that cliffhanger, but....
