REVIEWS :this book treated me like a dog treats a ragdoll. and i have no idea where to begin. patrick ness has written a game-changer that i'm not even really sure how to approach. this is a YA novel. i've lost half of you book snobs right there. but i think that is my point. YA has been breaking free of its presumed confines for years. when i was a teen, YA novels were largely disposable, empty-calorie entertainment trifles meant to keep us off the streets, off drugs, and not full of babies. they were I like how I still don't know what happened. And I like how that was the point. Look. Here's the thing. I am not generous with my five star ratings. Five star readings must have shocked me or blown my mind or done something really original or otherwise awesome to get me to throw that final star in their direction. So a four star rating is, for me, really really good. I want you to remember that and realise how good this book is when I say I just expected something more from Ness. Let's make a joke about it: I just expected more than this. Ha. And maybe it's because I'm “A book… it’s a world all on its own too. A world made of words, where you live for a while.”You should read this.Because it is beautiful.Because it is scary.Because it is mind-blowing.Because it is nothing like you expect it to be.Because it is hard not to love Tommy.Because it is a book like no other.Find more of my books on Instagram A book that literally starts with the main character dying and waking up... that's how you make me pick up your book.More Than This is a YA coming of age book with some LGBTQ+ representation that follow the main character as he struggles to figure out if there's more after life.Very interesting concept, the book will keep you on your toes and the writing will keep you engage.(4.5) Totally recommend! huh. what an interestingly bizarre story. ness’ ‘chaos walking’ trilogy is one of my favourite series ever, so i was very eager to finally read some of his other works - but this was not what i was expecting. it was a little strange, a little confusing, but somewhat intriguing. this rating probably deserves to be higher, but i just dont think i was in the right mindset for something that was so… out there. and i think i need to learn how to set a book aside when that happens and pick it up when I'm not sure what I was expecting that to be, but it was not that....in the best way possible.I loved the characters and the plot and the world......but I don't really want to say much about them. I'm of the opinion of most everyone else that you should go in knowing as little as possible about this book! After reading:GOD DAMN IT PATRICK NESS. GOD. DAMN. ITTTTTTTT.Well. I guess it's no secret that I'm obsessed with Patrick Ness's work and I worship the ground he walks on and yada yada. I anticipated this book for a long time and then put off reading it forever because ... I don't know, I guess I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to my expectations.But I shouldn't have doubted, because this book was fantastic. Very emotional, intense, vivid, and engaging, and with a great cast of characters. Is this book really going to break my heart? because I have EYES and I'm not afraid to CRY "People see stories everywhere," Regine says. "That's what my father used to say. We take random events and we put them together in a pattern so we can comfort ourselves with a story, no matter how much it obviously isn't true. We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we'd go crazy." This is a book about hope. More Than This is about existentialism and is stuffed with insane plot twists. Yes, true. But more importantly, this book tells us there's always hope, as long as we hold on, as What a strange story. I’d even go as far as to say that it’s weird… and very much of the unbelievable sort. Patrick Ness doesn’t care, though. He likes to confuse the reader. At least twenty times throughout the novel, Seth says he ‘‘remembers’’ and ‘‘understands,’’ when in fact it’s a lie. Well it is original, that’s indubitable. Seth wakes up in an empty world after drowning. Later on, he finds two other… survivors? Apparently, he woke up from the virtual world he was living in. That’s all I Um...er...huh.Well.----------------Okay, so, I totally don't know what to make of Patrick Ness at this point. I hated The Knife of Never Letting Go (couldn't even finish it), and absolutely loved A Monster Calls. This? Like I said.I think the concept is pretty interesting up to a point. And I liked the characters up to a point. And the various mysteries kept me interested up to a point. And, okay, the very very end is really good. I get what Ness is saying here (I think?), but I wish this book This is a genius idea for a book. It's hard to talk about because it's great going into without knowing much, but I will say I really enjoyed this. From the gay main character to the addicting premise, it was fabulous. I just found myself not really able to connect to the characters, and the ending was a bit too ambiguous for me. But I highly recommend this! Q: Know yourself and go in swinging... (c) And the book does exactly that.Speculative fiction cross dystopian cross teenage drama at its best.Q:A book... It's a world all on its own, too. ... A world made of words... where you live for a while. ...And then it's over... (c)Q:People see stories everywhere...We take random events and we put them together in a pattern so we can comfort ourselves with a story, no matter how much it obviously isn't true...We have to lie to ourselves to live..
