I couldn't find a thread for this and was curious if any one else has read this excellent series.
I picked up book one, The Knife of Never Letting Go, at the airport at the start of my holiday in September this year. Stupidly, I didn't realise it was part of a trilogy and this was accompanied by a real 'NOOOOOOOO' moment when I got to the end and realised there was more and that there was no way for me to get it until I could get back home and order from Amazon. I promptly ordered The Ask and the Anwer and Monsters of Men and practically devoured them.
Set in a possible future on a planet called New World, the story starts off with a boy named Todd and his dog, Manchee. Todd is the son of a first wave of colonists who have fled Old World to restart their lives on a new planet which can sustain life. But life on New World came with an unexpected twist which affected all the colonists in terrible ways.
So tense in places that I frequently felt the urge to toss the books off of the train on my way to and from work, to say that I enjoyed this series would be a serious understatement.
Now, I have discovered that film adaptations are going to be made and none other than Charlie Kaufman will be writing the screenplay (for the first film at least).
