The Knife of Never Letting Go was certainly an interesting book, but I really don't think that it was my kind of book. The whole concept was very interesting though and I found the whole thought sharing thing was pretty neat. It was also very well written and the characterization and character development was also great! 
 I'm sure that many people will really like this story and will devour the second and third books as well. I may not continue with the next two books in the series: The Ask and the Answer and Monsters of Men. But his new book The New World sounds rather interesting, so I might go ahead and try that.
