I feel you, sister. My husband thought I was nuts because I ran bawling to my room and cried into a pillow.

I am super late to the party. Mainly because I’m a poor college student and it took my library forever to get this book.

Except now I can’t finish it (for the moment, it will get finished eventually). I just hit the river scene and now I have to step away for awhile and calm down before reading more.

The river scene destroyed me. I actually interrogated my boyfriend before hand JUST ABOUT whether the dog dies at the end. Jerk he said it didn’t. So I’m blithely reading along expecting this to be ok and then OH MY GOD. Sobbing ensued.

My family had to put our beloved Lab down two years ago. We’d have him since I was 2 so it was a bit heartwrenching, and then reading that…Gah.

This book took me a while to get into because of the crazyass dialect…. but then.. this book TOOK CONTROL OVER ME, I got kidnapped into this insane world. This was – hands down, a book that I literally could not put down. In fact, I went and got the next two books and read them straight through and LITERALLY, not kidding you, was pumping my fist, crying and yelling out loud at Todd, at the end of the last book. Ugh, this series got all up in me and did not let go.

I admit it. I just finished Knife a few hours ago. Can’t believe I waited so long to read it. Much out loud gasping and “what’s???” Talked Brian into bring Ask and Answer home when he came past the nearest bookstore. Good thing school doesn’t start tomorrow!!

Way late on commenting on this post, but I just finished the book late last night and was crying, crying, crying uncontrollably. I agree – that just ripped my heart out completely. SPOILER (I would be more opaque about it but I think it’s already been said who dies): I think if Manchee had died in some other way it may have been less horrifying, but the element of choice/guilt and the cruelty/violence of that scene was shocking to me. Last year, I had to put my beloved Sidney to sleep and that scene seriously reopened that wound. Anyways…….. Snifff, gonna pour out a little liquor for both Sidney and Manchee tonight.

Right!?!?

Sorry, that was my response to everyone’s posts b/c OH EM GEE. I tried to find The Ask and the Answer (b/c OMG, the ENDING) at my library, but of course, I had to be put on hold, so I obviously nooked (that sounds super dirty) the second book immediately. Can’t wait to read the last one…and can’t WAIT to recommend this to my teens!
