Edited on 8/27/14Initially I gave this a 4 star. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this book. I always want to talk about it whenever a discussion comes up about books. After reading this, I have noticed that many other books seem lame in comparison. In my opinion, The Knife of Never Le...
First read 4.5 Stars...but even better the second time through...5 StarsNO SPOILERSOk so why? Why did I enjoy this book more the second time around?

They have Noise and Noise is being able to hear each others thoughts all the time. One day Todd and his dog, Manchee, are out walking and they come across complete...
Having not read the rest of this series, this would probably have another star, but I know I couldn't go back and re-read this with much enjoyment knowing what this series progresses to/ends like.
I feel like I read so much I've numbed my brain. I've made it difficult for myself to really feel anything for a character and to become really captivated by a plot. I read and I think.
