breathtaking....innovative,intense writing at its incendiary best - Jake Hope The Bookseller The novels would seem sledgehammer-bleak if not for the narrative drive and uncompromising humanity that underpins every word in every line. Chaos Walking is too good for the Young Adult strapline. Like Philip Pullman,Robert Cormier and Paul Zindel,Ness has written the best kind of children's book - the kind that teaches you how to grow up. - Max Dunbar 3 Am Magazine Monsters of Men combines gripping storylines with real moral quandaries...Ness integrates the vast and powerful themes into the plot so seamlessly that they appear effortless.
