chaos walking - the new world by patrick ness (2011)

this is kind of a prequel to the chaos walking series. a relatively short story from viola’s point of view, that keeps switching between the space-ship crash and her memories from the time on the convoy ship  and the voyage to new world.

patrick ness seems to enjoy writing about awful events and describe every little detail of them as if they were beautiful landscapes. and I really enjoy reading that! =)

if you have read the trilogy, don’t miss this! (you can download for kindle on amazon or here is the link to the .pdf-file)

chaos walking - monsters of men by patrick ness (2010)

this is the 3rd book of the trilogy chaos walking (book 1&2: the knife of never letting go and the ask and the answer). i was really looking forward to read it but when i got it it was soooo thick and i kind of lost interest and only read it now... (it's effing great!):
 

the war between the army, the answer and the spackle is on and todd and viola at right in the middle of it. then there is suddenly a third voice...

i love the play with the language (creacher, direkshun, informayshun etc.) and the visuality of the spackle -language is just great. also the noise is very effective and makes the book very special!

i'm really excited to read patrick ness's prequel to the trilogy: the new world! (it's already out for kindle, for FREE! but only 20 pages or so...)
