In reply to Erin. Hahahaha, I know what you mean. He's intense, he requires a level of emotional preparedness. :p

OH MAN. I am so out of ALL the loops. I LOVED Chaos Walking. Next time I feel like I can handle a Patrick Ness book, I’m totally picking this one up.

“More Than This begins with Seth spending an awful lot of time alone in his new world, being pleased that he’s found a windbreaker or whatever.”

HA. I actually HAVE been wanting to try some Patrick Ness but didn’t want to start a whole trilogy, so I’ll be on the lookout for this. Sounds weird.

In reply to Jeanne.

Oo, it kind of does, you are right. I won’t say whether it is or isn’t necromancy though–don’t want to spoil it for you!

In reply to aartichapati. Hahaha, yeah. I don't cry that often in books, so for me it's not the tears so much as just the INTENSITY. It's like the way I feel after I've watched a horror film, just all tense through my shoulders. It can be a little tiring.

You pretty much had me from “he wakes up (from death).” Because, you know, it sounds kind of like…necromancy…

In reply to Gin Jenny. Yes, I read her post, and "talked" to her about the book via email after I finished it. [i.e., I finished, but the book didn't, ha ha]

Yay! So glad you liked this one. But seriously, can Patrick Ness write a book that is NOT emotionally wrought? I feel like it can be so emotionally exhausting to read him due to all of the tears.

In reply to Ana @ things mean a lot. Me too, he's so awesomely casual about it. I love him. I know it's greedy to want more books by him when I've already had two new books by him this year alone, but I am already wondering when his next book will appear.
