There's Always Beauty, If You Know Where to Look

More Than This - Patrick Ness

I can't even classify this. I had the same problem with A Monster Calls. First, I can't put it in a box, and second, trying to classify it ruins the surprises. It's because of that I'll I'm gonna say is: Read it! Read it and be surprised!

 

Is this a dream? he thinks, the words coming to him slowly, thickly, as if from a great distance. The last dream before death.

 

I'm not even sure what to say. Going into this book I knew next to nothing about it. All I knew was the very secretive blurb that the character dies and yet somehow wakes up in a barren wasteland that used to be his hometown. That's it. Also, the cover of the book is (awesome) secretive. And, it's almost part of the charm, to go into a read without really knowing what you're getting into.

 

SO, I'm not going to tell you that Sethiofjdsa fajfdaioujfida;fjk;afjk;afk;ja;fda.

 

And I'm not going to tell you that it's afjkdl;afjk;afjka;jfk;ajfka;ljfkdajfkl;ajfkdla;jf;a.

 

Or how about the huge surprise, fiapufipaufioapufiplkajk.a,jrlwrujiwpua.

 

And if you want to know what I'm talking about. Pick. It. UP. For real. Now go.
