When I finished this, I was speechless. 
 I finished this book at 3 P.M. yesterday. And here I am, at 12 P.M. today. A 21-hour cooldown. 
 This book was wonderful. Before I start blabbing off about how good this book is, I'll clear up the only issue I had about this book, which I'm sure many other people faced. 
 The writing, the misspellings, etc. But as I kept reading, it started becoming less of an issue and I ignored it altogether. It makes the writing unique in its own different way, and I'm perfectly fine with that. However, it proved to be a slight issue for me when I started the book (even though I had plenty of warning), and that's the only reason why I gave this book a 4 instead of a 5. And I also wonder how many times Ness had to tell his writing program/his editor/everyone and everything he ran the draft of this by that the misspellings are intentional. 
 I also didn't like Todd that much. But that's alright. 
 Now that that's out of the way, we can discuss how wonderful, how heart-pumping, how adrenaline-filing, how...perfect...this book is. 
 I still don't know how to talk about this book, even after 20 hours. It's just...that good. 
 The plot was quick, fast-paced, and easy to get into, complementing the difficult writing style. The fast pace makes the writing easy to adjust to. In this way, it's sort of similar to The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, because both have fast paces and difficult writing styles that complement each other so wonderfully. 
 (Fittingly, TGWCF was the Restricted Section book club book for May, while this book was the Restricted Section book club book for summer. Ha.) 
 I loved the plot twists in the book and that's especially important in dystopian novels because in dystopian novels, the world seems perfect when it really isn't. The plot twists are so important so we can figure out why the world is crumbling into pieces. 
 The plot also leaves plenty of questions unanswered for the following sequels, and also left us off at the worst cliffhanger of all cliffhangers. Why. I thought The Mark of Athena's cliffhanger was bad. This is even worse. And worse, in a good way. You know, the worse kind of worse that makes you want to strangle the author for leaving you off at such a crazy point. 
 There's a lot of action in this book, but it isn't ruthless action after action. There's still a lot of character development, too. And a whole lot of everything. 
 Speaking of the characters... 
 I really loved Viola. She was a quick thinker, intelligent, and could stand up for herself pretty well. I also mentioned before that Todd was alright, but I grew attached to him after a while. He's pretty rash, but that just goes to show that not all people are perfect. Plus, that means Viola is the perfect counterpart for him. 
 They both had nice character development, too. 
 There was some humor in this book, and it made me smile at points as well. 
 Overall, this book was fantastic. If you can ignore the writing style, then you're in for a treat, because this book is one heck of a ride.
