Book description
More Than This by Patrick Ness: A Splashy Affair
Let's talk about drowning. Specifically, let's talk about a boy who drowns, dies, and then inconveniently refuses to stay dead-much like that one guest who keeps showing up at parties uninvited.
Our protagonist (let's call him "Dead Boy" for marketing purposes) finds himself naked, bruised, and thirstier than a teenager at a math lecture in what can only be described as the universe's most depressing abandoned playground. No wifi, no snacks, just existential dread with a side of mystery.
Patrick Ness, who apparently moonlights as a literary critic when he's not busy making teenagers cry, has crafted something delightfully bonkers here. It's like "The Matrix" had a baby with a philosophy textbook, and that baby was raised by wolves who occasionally read poetry.
The real question isn't whether Dead Boy is actually dead (spoiler alert: it's complicated), but whether there's more to existence than... well, existing. Deep stuff, especially for anyone who's ever wondered if there's something better than Netflix after they finally finish their homework.
Ness doesn't just write a story; he writes himself a philosophical corner to paint himself into, then somehow finds a ladder. It's the kind of book that makes you question reality while simultaneously making you very grateful you're not the one currently questioning reality in such an aesthetically confusing landscape.
Perfect for listeners who enjoy their metaphysical crises with a side of British wit and just enough plot twists to make your audiobook narrator sound like they're having an identity crisis too.
