Reading Response to The Knife of Never Letting Go



I disliked the book The Knife of Never Letting Go because i thought it was incredibly boring and it wasn't interesting to me.  There are many reasons why i disliked the book but i only have 2 paragraphs so i will only talk about 2.  The entire book i was bored of the book, i personally thought it was incredibly dull there was really no action and it bored me to death (Obvious exaggeration.)  The second reason and this is going to seem silly but how Aaron just refused to die he was mauled by a crocodile, bitten by a dog, while near death almost drowned, AND he got stabbed.  He just refused to die and it bugged me a lot and i know the author did it that way for explaining but it frustrated me.  The first reason i disliked the book was because i thought it was boring, the reason i thought it was boring is because when I began the book i pictured Prentisstown to be dis-colored, gray skies, just practically a ghost town with inhabitants(yea, i know that ghost towns don't usually have people i don't care.)  The point is that it was a boring thought in my head.  Todd was incredibly dull and he bored me as a main character, He was like Obi-Wan in the star wars prequels boring and dull.



The second reason i disliked the book was because as i stated earlier it's silly but how Aaron wouldn't die, I chose this because it frustrated me beyond measure.  I mean if you get mauled by a crocodile, get knocked out face down in the water ( In which case you drown.), AND have half your face bitten off by a dog you should be dead.  I don't think that the author really thought this through because Aaron was only human and last i checked humans are easily damaged so the fact that he survived all 3 of these things is ridiculous.  I was truly annoyed by Aaron and his invulnerability to damage so much that it seriously inflicted the rating of the book for me i truly disliked this in the book, not like i liked it that much even if this was a problem.  I really didn't like The Knife of Never Letting Go and i didn't like the fact it was a forced read.
