The Knife of Never Letting Go: Review

A couple weeks back I started the novel The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. When I first learned of the plot I thought it was quite interesting. It's about a young boy named Todd who lives in a time on Earth after a horrific war. Because of gas that was let go, everyone can hear everyone's thoughts, they call this "Noise". When Todd discovers a whole in the Noise, nothing is the same. When I first started reading I thought the book was quite well, but the language was quite difficult to deal with. Todd and other children stopped going to school years ago. That being said, Ness chose to showcase this in novel. There was misspelled and misunderstandings of words that come natural and easy to us. At first I thought that it was an excellent decision to do this but after a while it just got repetitive and quite annoying. The novel, overall, was good , though.
