Hopefully the villains are fleshed out more, because despite this, I'm still interested enough to continue the series.The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking #1) Summary Besides Todd and the people close to him, everyone in Prentisstown is so one-dimensional. Also, how is everyone able to move around New World so fast when all they were supposed to know is Prentisstown? Wouldn't anyone, at least the boys who just became men, be shocked or hesitant to learn that there's more out there than just their town? That's what bothered me the most, I think. It was almost as bad with Davy Prentiss Jr. It got to the point where when he showed up, I was so frustrated that I wanted to stop reading. I swear Aaron is some kind of Terminator. The parts that I didn't like mainly deal with the bad guys, Aaron in particular.

The story itself also has quite a bit of action to it, which is good. I also liked some of the characters, especially Manchee, Wilf, and even Todd to a certain extent. The idea that there is a virus that allows thoughts to be heard by everyone is both fascinating and terrifying. I liked the overall story that was being told. There were some good parts and some bad parts.

I won't be continuing with the series, though. Just, NOPE.So I almost didn't even finish it, but then curiosity about how it ended won out over my despair about Manchee. The best character of the book by far, he's treated so miserably through the whole thing until the ultimate Bad Thing happens and I nearly through the book across the actual room. But then two things kept that love from happening:1) After a while the whole thing started to seem like a very long episode of The Perils of Penelope the main characters just keep falling from one urgent danger right into another and eventually it was just exhausting.2) The dog. A month before his birthday he discovers something that makes his escape even more important, and once he starts running, it seems he'll never be able to stop, because how can you hide from those who can hear your every thought?Welp, this is definitely a page-turner and at first I thought I was going to love it absolutely.

Boys become men, in a secret ceremony, on their 13th birthday, but Todd's family want to get him out of town before then. This review contains some spoilers, so read on, if you wish, with that in mind.In Prentisstown all men and boys can hear each other's thoughts all the time, and there are no women or girls.
