About the Author
Patrick Ness is best known for his books for young adults, including the Chaos Walking trilogy and More Than This. He has twice won the Carnegie Medal, the oldest and most prestigious book award for children's writing in the UK. His A Monster Calls was also the first book ever to simultaneously win the Carnegie Medal and the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration.
Review
★ “Part character study, part reckoning, this is a painful, magical gem of a novel that, even when it perplexes, will rip the hearts right out of its readers.” (Booklist (starred review))
★ “Literary, illuminating, and stunningly told.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
★ “A frank, riveting portrayal of a gay teenager’s sexual awakening.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
★ “Ness manages to pack all this drama into a coherent and compulsively readable story line peopled with credible, rounded characters among the teens and the adults.” (School Library Journal (starred review))
“This book’s self-awareness lends its events a dreamlike feel. Though it functions as an accessible, standalone coming-of-age story, awareness of its influences makes for a layered reading experience.” (The Horn Book)
“Patrick Ness is an insanely beautiful writer.” (John Green)
“Release is beautiful, enchanting, exquisitely written; the novel builds to an adrenaline-surged ending that only Patrick Ness can deliver. This is an incredible work of intertwined, mirrored stories that left me slack-jawed and in awe of one of the true master storytellers of our time.” (Andrew Smith, Michael L. Printz Honor–winning author of Grasshopper Jungle and Winger)
“Hilarious, gripping, and viciously insightful throughout. The novel’s main points are continuously, beautifully conveyed: family consists of people chosen as much as those related by blood; and while all meaningful and positive relationships are difficult and messy, their maintenance is essential for fulfillment.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA))
“This compelling coming-of-age story will resonate with readers of all ages, and will remind everyone that the sun always rises again tomorrow.” (Brightly.com)
“I was gripped by Adam’s journey to self-belief, told pacily, beautifully.” (London Times)
