Sometimes I see a Patrick Ness book or hear him mentioned, and I go, "yeah! Patrick Ness! I love Patrick Ness's books!" Then I read one of them and am reminded of how weird they always are. Good weird, usually, but definitely unusual. Unlike any sort of books I've read before, and I've read a lot of books. 
 This is yet another strange book by Ness, and I'm still not sure what I think of it. It was exciting, confusing, and well-written. Definitely all those. I was never bored, and I always wanted to know what would happen, or what was going on. I was cheering Seth undoubtedly. 
 I loved the characters, but I don't want to go into that really, because it's better for the reader to discover everything for themselves. 
 Let's just say, I liked this book. I was impressed by the amazing writing and startling story that I found myself lost in. Yet, despite all that, I'm a little bit divided. I'm just... not sure. About this book. 
 But I still love Patrick Ness. 
 3.5 stars, really.
