This is the 3rd book in the Chaos Walking Trilogy. Even though I very much enjoyed this book, I do not think it was as good as the first two. In those books I was literally drawn to each page. When a chapter ended, I couldn't put it down. It seemed they always ended in cliffhangers and I just had to find out what was going to happen. This one didn't really have chapters. It just switched points of view from Todd, Viola and 1017. Which was fine but it didn't have that pull that I found in the first two books. It was also a lot of war going on. This is natural for what the books were leading up to but also did not draw me in. 1017 had his way of getting on my nerves as well. Even though I could understand him and understand what he felt, he still tried my patience. I just kept thinking "enough already". Even with those not too great of points, I still liked the book. It kept a good pace and brought the other books together well. The end of the book had me glued to it and was very content when it did end. I can't wait to see more books out by this author. He spins a wonderful tale.

MONSTERS OF MEN is the wonderful conclusion to the CHAOS WALKING trilogy. It picks up where THE ASK AND THE ANSWER leaves off - right at the beginning of WAR!

The Spackle, the Answer, and the Mayor's army are all converging on New Prentisstown - and Todd and Viola are stuck in the middle.

Patrick Ness creates the same heart-pounding suspense in this novel as he did in the first two books. Multiple points of view give the reader a full understanding of what is happening.

Be sure to set aside a block of time when you start this book - or the first two, for that matter. Once I started, I didn't want to stop. I was so worried for Viola and Todd throughout the story. I was stressed and cringed as I got further into the story - afraid for what the author had in store for them.

Mr. Ness made me growl in frustration and brought me to tears. MONSTERS OF MEN ended perfectly!
