'One of the best first sentences I've ever read and a book that lives up to it!'
Frank Cottrell-Boyce
'The story, narrated sparkily and saltily by its hero Todd, unpeels Prentisstown's dark secrets like the layers of a very rotten onion. Ness, an acclaimed author of adult fiction as well, moves things along at a breakneck pace, and Todd's world is filled with memorable characters, foul villains.' (on The Knife of Never Letting Go)
Financial Times
'Darkly imagined and brilliantly created, the painful dystopian setting of a world full of noise in which all thoughts can be heard as if spoken is the background to this tense coming of age story.' (on The Knife of Never Letting Go)
The Guardian
'Furiously paced, terrifying, exhilarating and heartbreaking ...' (on The Knife of Never Letting Go)
