For you see, these books aren’t just about two children trying to make it in a world that is being rapidly taken over by a crazy despot. These books, in a way that I’m sure, are intentional, push my buttons so hard when I try and read them. They are infuriating.īooks that make the reader angry are often hard to read, at least for me. I have a lot of trouble reading these books, especially the ones after the first.

But, I don’t recommend them, and there is a reason that despite having started this trilogy at the beginning of September, I only just finished them. I could highly recommend the “Chaos Walking” trilogy to anyone like me who loves seeing the world rebuilt after it ends. These books are shining examples of post-apocalyptic fiction, and for someone who likes the “Hunger Games” and (the first) “Divergent,” these books were right up my alley. Their syntax is incredibly unique, their characters are fun and likable for the most part, and the book creates this incredible world that is so different from our own. Most people who read them, myself included, like them. My mother, equally enthralled, bought the entire trilogy, and I was able to return the book to my teacher. It was easy for me because it was captivating, and I really liked the characters and the unique world in which the book is set. However, I finished “The Knife of Never Letting Go” reasonably quickly for a book of its size. I have yet to finish 1984, simply because of the complex writing and its unfortunately infuriatingly relevant content. After discovering my love of dystopian fiction, my English teacher gave me two books: “1984” and “The Knife of Never Letting Go.” Both of these books are among the hardest I have ever had to read.
