From the multi-award-winning Patrick Ness the author of the Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls comes the most proactive book I have read titled More Than This. This is a young adult fiction from the first page will put you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what is happening and why. It is full of suspense and hope,but also heartbreaking.
More Than This comes from the first person point of view of a teenage boy named Seth. From his point of view you can imagine everything he is experiencing this enhances the reader's experience by making the book a lot more interesting and enchanting. The book takes place in a town in England that was completely deserted and looked as if a war broke out before hand and also seemed to have no sign of any human life or activity.

This in my opinion was a genius idea for a book. Patrick Ness’s writing makes you feel like you are there in the story. His writing is so descriptive and immersive. But the only problem is the story ends with no true resolution you dont know if the world was saved or did the plan actually work.

In conclusion More Than This was very good and immersive even though the ending was not satisfactory the book was well written. The point of view of Seth made the story even better it allowed you to feel like you were part of the story.Patrick Ness is a magnificent story writer and master wordsmith with a vibrant

This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.
As a reader my reaction to the author was really inspiring because even thought he had a hard childhood, he kept his head up and kept doing what he had to do to successes and make his mother happy. Also the way
Another reason why the book is so worthwhile to read is that it captures another aspect of the human story:
The plot was uncertain at times but overall was detailed enough to present the over all struggle of one mans' journey through the cosmos. The transitions from one chapter to the next were very well organized. Through many weeks passes in the book, it seamed to flow into one seamless efficiently written story.
Nevertheless, the revenue made by the NCAA from ticket sales, marketing and television deals is not used for education or research. According to Mark Schlabach, ESPN Senior Writer, 20 % of the money goes back to the involved schools but it does not go directly to the classrooms of the university. The profits are shared between the coaches, administrators and the rest of the staff as well as money to the athletic program to maintain it. According to NCAA.org “$199.6 million was Distributed to Division I schools to help fund NCAA sports and provide scholarships for college athletes” out of 996 million raised. In some cases money is taken from the school department to fund the athletic programs, for example the University of Tennessee took $18
Overall, the book is really good and sticks to those three main ideas of courage, weakness and truth throughout it. As both a reader and a writer (I write my own little novels) this book is really goods and i would recommend it to anyone who asks

From the very first paragraph of the narrative, I noticed that there were several details that the narrator mentioned that required further, deeper thought. For me, this is what made the story appealing.
