"'But you can't make war personal,' I say, 'or you'll never make the right decisions.' 'And if you didn't make personal decisions, you wouldn't be a person. All war is personal somehow, isn't it? For somebody?'" The final chapter in…

Though the ending of this novel was hard to handle in the way that I didn't want Todd and Viola's story to end. I thought a good portion of this novel was repetitive. It took me a while to get interested in the novel, which was hard…

How do you decide which side is the right one? This masterpiece of a finale to the trilogy ”Chaos Walking” by Patrick Ness explores in great detail and vividness this very question, making it impossible for this to be a light read. The…

I absolutely loved the book. I didn't want it to end and leave this world of adventure and romance. However, for those of you who want to know what happens next, Patrick Ness published a series of short stories called: Snowscape, The Wide…

A year or two ago, I read the whole trilogy in a single sitting. I almost pulled all nighters reading them, they were so nerve wracking! As the characters went through difficulties, I suffered along with them. If they were sad I cried ( I…

This final book in the Chaos Walking trilogy had me hooked from the very beginning and I couldn't stop reading. A hard-hitting examination of war, conquest, and the consequences of settling in another world. The best part about this book…

This book was amazing! The start was a bit boring but Ness picked up the pieces after a while. I love the way he wrote in the Spakles perspective as well as Todd's and Viola's. It's the end that really bugged me. I love it when books end…

The trilogy fades in this last installment, but still recommended for its ingenuity and humanity.

"In most stories about humans and aliens, the aliens are the invaders. But in the Chaos Walking trilogy, it's humans who have invaded the home planet of the alien Spackle. This final volume of the trilogy looks at the horrors of war not…

In this third and final book of the Chaos Walking trilogy, Patrick Ness has managed to combine the high-stakes action from the first book with the deeper questions about humanity from the second book. Monsters of Men asks whether any man,…

Best in the series! But very sad ending. Powerful. Funny. Epic. Gory. Thought provoking. Loved every page!

While it spins wildly out of control near the end, this is a thrillingly suspenseful, engagingly complex novel which contains all the strengths and weaknesses that fans of the trilogy have come to expect. Chaos Walking ends with the bang…

This is a brilliant but somewhat sad ending to the Knife series.

Didn't see this ending coming. Lots of twists and turns that keep you reading. Like another comment - a satisfying ending.

This book is a bit slow in the beginning, but the ending is well worth it! I definately recommend you read this if you've already read the first two!

This is one of those rare series with a good conclusion. The action was pretty unpredictable and the whole book was satisfying.

The themes in this book are incredible. Ness explores all aspects of war-- the ugly sides and the gray areas especially. He humanizes the enemy and by doing that, he creates so many dimensions to the conflict. The author doesn't back away…

This is the third and final book in the Chaos Walking series and I found it the most difficult to read. It was very violent and I actually took a break from it part way through as I found it was too intense. They all have a lot of…
