The thing that I find different about the book is the structure of the whole novella (or novellete), it was different compared to the first novel. You can give me a slap or a punch but no matter what happen, even though I did not like the book, I'll read the rest of the books in the series. I did not like Will Todd and how he approach the whole journey, I don't know how he survive by hiding and running all the way in the end or maybe Patrick Ness was approaching something invincible and surprising in the next 2 books in the series. It was a great mystery in the beginning of the book and this answered everything I need to know about Viola. So far, I like how Viola Eade survive before their adventure begun. When I saw the free e-book in Barnes and Noble I did not hesitate to download it because I want to read it again, give it a chance it deserves. I read the first book of the Chaos Walking series and too bad I did not like it. ![]() ![]() Hyl: You may indeed know that fire appears hot, and water fluid but that is merely knowing what sensations are produced in your own mind when fire or water is applied to your sense-organs.
