More Than This
From two-time Carnegie Medal winner Patrick Ness comes an enthralling and provocative new novel chronicling the life — or perhaps afterlife — of a teen trapped in a crumbling, abandoned world.
A boy named Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him. But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighborhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust, and completely abandoned. What’s going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this. . . .

ways and means11-272/3的篇幅其实都可以精简掉,重复无用无趣,当个童书写就够了,不过要说是给孩子看的,暴力描写也是太多。但这个背后的哲学……的确是给孩子看的……

Helen11-103.5. The world doesn’t necessarily make sense, it’s the people that live in this world, the people you care about make the world, your world full of sense. Liked part 1 & 3, the last part is a bit cheesy and the characters start to say lines that are a bit of out of character.
