This book made me cry. Enough said. Any book that moves you enough to get a physical emotional response has to be good. The writing style can be a little tough for some to get around (as it is written almost phonetically the way the characters talk), but you'll quickly get sucked into the story and forget all about the quirky spellings. In the end, it all adds to the atmosphere of a stunning debut of a gorgeous series. Naming my next pet Manchee. No joke.

This is now one of my new favorite YA SciFi books! A friend of mine forced me to read it, and that was perhaps the best punishment in my life. :) Ness is a master of inventing worlds (and words). The first few chapters are slow, but the rest picks up quickly. I think I was speeding at 100 pg/hr until the end. The characters are a real as fiction gets, and the plot thicker than molasses. Probably best for more advanced readers and DEFINATELY recommended for anyone who likes sci-fi.

I started trying to read this when I already had a couple of other books on the go, so I wasn't really appreciating it. When I actually sat down and gave this book my full attention, I really got into it. It's a very unusual story, and while I kind of thought Todd was a bit of a brat at the beginning, I really grew to like him. I can't wait to read on and find out what happens next - good thing I have the second book at home with me already!
