I have yet to find a Patrick Ness book I don't like. While I didn't really understand the need for mirroring stories, I still love this book. Ness has such a truthful way of storytelling. He knows just how to cut to the core of a matter and let out what really needs to be said.

The A plot is a bit better and dives a little deeper than the B plot, but someone they manage to come together in the end. I would like to know why Ness decided to do this. I know they're supposed to be two different experiences looking for the same outcome, but it would be interesting why he decided to mesh these two stories together.
