The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imagine, growing up in a town with no women, a town where everyone and anyone can hear what you and others can think. A town where even the animals can talk too!

It sounds like an alright town, right?
But what if, that you don't fit in to the town and their plans?
That's what Todd Hewitt find himself like.
Just a month until he turns thirteen, turns in to a man in the towns eyes, Todd knows that he doesn't fit in since he is the last boy left in town.

He's grown up, being told that all women were killed by a virus, released by the creatures who lived there before...But then his whole life is changed when he comes across a girl in the swamp.
Just what is the truth in town?

Setting of with just the girl and his dog, young Todd is set on a course that challenges him, challenges everything that he had ever known in his life.

The knife of never letting go, is filled to the brim with adventure, loyalty, friendship and challenges.
I found that it was hard to put down, even after the upsetting parts, it's a book filled with courage.
