Ness, Patrick. More Than This, Walker Books Ltd., 2013.
Seth, sixteen and freshly deceased, wanders the
neighbourhood he inhabited while alive, searching for answers. This could be
the beginning of any number of zombie novels, vampire films or ghost stories-
but it isn’t. Patrick Ness’s More Than
This is part thought experiment, part science fiction, and part dystopian
nightmare, with a healthy dollop of the Matrix
and The Lovely Bones thrown into the
mix. Suspenseful and surprising, with moments of genuine tenderness and humour,
this spare, haunting novel will have you on the edge of your seat until the
very end. Trust me when I tell you this is most original YA novel you will read
this year.
