Incredible. A slow start, but give it a chance and you won’t be sorry. Ness does an awesome job of dragging out the truth in a way that makes you yearn for it; you just have to finish the book so you get all the answers. He found a way to make running across a country and through the woods entertaining and not a total drag fest. With that cliff hanger, I fully intend to read the rest of the series. I can’t wait to see the movie adaptation, which is part of the reason I picked up this book in the first place and how they visually adapt the ‘noise’.
*Edit* The movie fell SO flat. They definitely wrote it the way they did in case it was unsuccessful and they couldn't do a sequel. 100/10 the book was better. No ifs, ands or buts.
