Monsters of Men

Monsters of Men is the third and final book in the series Chaos Walking following after 'The Ask and The Answer' and 'The Knife of Never Letting Go'.

It is about a boy called Todd and a girl called Viola. Todd found Viola in the first book 'Knife of Never Letting Go' and this certain book is all about war. At the beginning of the story Todd is fighting against the Spackle army along side the mayor of Prentisstown and Viola is trying to get to the scout ship. As the book goes on the war against the Spackle dies down and then the war starts all over again.

As the last in the story I found easier to read as I have read the two books before I read this one. Out of all the Chaos Walkings I think Monsters of Men is the best. throghout of all three books you have always wanted to find out what will happen in the end and finally this great series has gone with a bang.

My only criticism is that I think that Patrick Ness could have put shortened the length as of the book because I feel that it could have been put into a book almost half the size.

Overall I think this book is good and has a pull factor towards people that like war and running away so I would recommend it to any of my friends that enjoy reading long, fiction books which include war (which is quite a lot of my friends)

This book is about a girl called Rebecca and she moves to Winterfold, she feels alone her boyfriend has left her now she has moved. Rebecca feels isolated in Winterfold and she wants to move back but its not only that she's been worrying about, her father. Rebecca barley ever sees her father at home the only time she sees him is at meal times and even then they do not speak to each other. Yet there is one girl that Rebecca sees often, Ferelith. Rebecca first meets Ferelith on a cliff and shes looking out to sea. Even though Rebecca doesn't think of Ferelith as a friend. Ferelith thinks of Rebecca as a friend.

I found this story amazing full of suspense and curiosity it drags you in and you always want to find out what happens in the end. But I felt as if the ending was maybe a little rushed but even though I found it very good. As I found this book one of the best I have read I would like to read 'Revolver' which is another book by Marcus Sedgwick

Overall I found this book stunningly good and I would certainly recommend it to anyone of my Friends
