The third book (sadly the final one) HAS to have Todd and Viola fall in love (With no annoying "other guy" problems for her) AND no open ending! Ugh! I HATE having to use my imagination! I want YOUR imagination! I am a reader fanatic and i NEED a good full-filling ending! I don't want to sound demanding but thats just what need to happen to make it the AWESOMEST book ever!

(We do FedEx by the way). I have had more comments about Patrick Ness books than anyone else's on this blog but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. They are so, so good and he sure knows about a cliff hanger of an ending. As fast as we get them in stock, they race back out again. By the way, number three won't be out until about May (sob). A small compensation is that he is coming to Australia early next year and is sure to be doing some events where he can meet his fans. I will be interviewing him for the website, so if anyone has any questions they would like me to put to him, let me know.

I just found out tonight that the third one still wasn`t in stores. Because I live in Argentina and the series aren`t in ANY booksrore I had to order it by Amazon. It came in two days ago. I already finished it. It`s one of the best books i`ve ever read (the only competitors are "THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO " and the "TWILIGHT SERIES")! Acctually, both books in the saga (until now) are the only books that I have read (and I had read quite a bunch) that have acctually made me: cry (poor Manchee), take my breath away (torturing Viola, Aaron), stay up until 3:00 am a Tuesday (I just couldn`t stop! If my mum finds out she will KILL me!). I love The Knife of Never Letting Go so much I even composed a song for it (everything mine, lyrics and music)! For the third book i`m really expecting a lot of things. I would like an unexpected twist (and am not really worring about that because you, Ness, are an expert at that) and that Viola and Todd fall in love completly. AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, IF ITS THE FINAL BOOK DON`T YOU DARE TO END IT WITH AN OPEN OR A SAD ENDING! So, in summary, I completly adore you`re books and I can`t wait for the third one. Micaela PS: Please, about what I said about no open ending, I MEAN IT! Unless...you want to write a fourth book.... Then I guess, an open ending will not KILL me.... I LOVE YOU`RE BOOKS!!!!

I'm hooked. I so agree Toni, both books have been so well written – not just for sensationalism but for carefully structured good plots and characterisation. I’m hooked.

In my opinion, it might be his best book yet. It's a very timely message and one that leaves you thinking long after you're finished with the book. What if faith didn't tear us apart, but instead brought us together? Crazy to think about, right? But that's the underlying message of the book. Its too bad more religions can't think that way. We'd be living in world of peace, instead of war. I also thought long and hard about a question he asked the Rabbi: 'If you had 5 minutes with God, what would you ask him?" So I'll leave that question to your readers. What would YOU ask if you had five minutes with God? I, too, was fortunate to receive an advance copy of HAVE A LITTLE FAITH.

I have been dying to try and get the third book of the chaos walking trilogy. But now I have found out it comes out in 2010, I think I might have to drop dead. I will go looking in shops all around the country to find it, when it has been published. I really hope it's as good as the first two. I've already recommended THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO and THE ASK AND THE ANSWER to everyone I know. I'll recommend the third aswell if it is anywhere near as good. I hope to god that it is. I can't wait to find out what happens next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love you books patrick. I have been dying to try and get the third book of the chaos walking trilogy.
