(please be out there somewhere) (please be okay) (please)” I’ll let you know something : This book is a gem, a real one, but that was painful. Fortunately for us, readers who want to be moved but oh my god that’s so harsh – Fortunately for us, Todd and Viola are amazing characters and oh so more stronger than me. And of course the story would be over, and way less interesting. There was a moment I was just thinking one damn thing : “Run!” Fuck ’em all, and run! (shut up) But of course it’d be selfish. Yes, I can be idealist that way.Īnd maybe it makes me a coward, maybe it makes me weak, but – *blush* Can I say it? I only wanted for Todd and Viola to be safe. But these choices our characters must face? They’re difficult. Then, I never liked a lot this Mistress Coyle either. Make no mistakes, I hated Mayor Prentiss – President – Prentiss something fierce. They unnerstand way more than a sheep would.” What is it that makes you a good person? Is there a boundary line? Where is it, I’m asking, where is it? Is it what you do? What you think? What you allow others to do? The Ask and the Answer gives rise to ethical reflection and disturbs us. Is it enough to tell? Really?īecause this book?! It actually made me think more than most of those I’ve read for years. I mean, that seems crystal clear, huh? The main characters are young, aren’t they? The Ask and the Answer is supposed to be a children’s book.
But sometimes – sometimes there’s no such thing as a right choice. Of course there are situations where what to do is obvious because one of the possibilities is utterly bad. Of course I’d be so proud if I was able to say that I’d do the right thing whatever it takes, and I want to think I’d do it. I must confess that the only honest answer I can give you is : What would you choose if you had the faith of someone you love in your hands? This is the second title in the "Chaos Walking" trilogy. "The Ask and the Answer" is a tense, shocking and deeply moving novel of resistance under the most extreme pressure.
