A big step up from the first one in my opinion, not as exciting but still of much higher quality. Ness' sort of "childish" writing is less prevalent in this ig, which I'm thankful for.

This time I would have given a 4.5 stars if it weren't for the somewhat weird decisions surrounding Todd's character. All of the characters developments were very well done but Todd's (I'd say) major change in the middle-ish was, yes well done, but then kinda didn't lead to much. It almost felt retconned later on is what I'm trying to say. Since I don't want to spoil to much there's a chance I'm not making any sense..

Manchee you ruddy good dog.

This one reaches some emotional highs. - And I love Todd and Violas dynamic. But writing wise the book can feel quite lacking.

Interesting concept.

Maybe we should have gotten more of a deep dive into how the Prentisstown folk feel chosen by God cuss as it stands it's not really that believable they'd chase Todd in such a manner, or maybe I was imagining they had a more exiting reason.

Somewhat high 3 stars or low 3 and a half I'd say
