More Than This

By Patrick Ness

Book Overview

"Books are often described as 'mind-blowing, ' but this is one of the few books in which, while reading it, I have exclaimed aloud, 'Oh. My. God.' on multiple occasions. I won't tell you anything else about it. Just read it." -- John Green Seth drowns, desperate and alone. But then he wakes. Naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. And where is he? The street seems familiar, but everything is abandoned, overgrown, covered in dust. He remembers dying, his skull bashed against the rocks. Has he woken up in his own personal hell? Is there more to this life, or perhaps this afterlife? From the acclaimed author of the Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls comes one of the most provocative teen novels of our time.

Meh

I was bored. And I kept reading in the hopes that it would come together in the end and it just didn’t for me.

Hard cover is the best to get lol

I initially started reading this book and got bored. Mainly because it’s not the type of book that I’m used too. And the first part is very descriptive. It really sets the setting for the rest of the book which I didn’t enjoy at first but understood the exaggeration of his descriptions. I will say I did expect some of the outcomes but others caught me off guard. First time reading Patrick Ness’s books, it was surprising funny and enjoyable. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 3 just because the genre may not be for me but for others it may be great!

Fresh idea, enjoyable, twist

I enjoyed this one & recommend it to friends often.

Unbelievably amazing

I read this book maybe 2 or 3 years ago, and it still haunts me. I am constantly thinking of the characters and what happens after the story ends. Patrick Ness is an amazing author overall, but he really outdid himself with this one. The beginning is slow and a little boring, but it really grabs you by the heart. It will have you questioning what is real and what is fake as well as "what would you have done"
