PATRICK NESS
The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer, Monsters of Men
Read by Nick Podehl, Unabridged
Release Date: 9/28/10

The popular dystopian YA Chaos Walking trilogy arrives on audio. Narrator Nick Podehl tells us, "This has been by far one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I have done in a good while. I really related to the main character, Todd, and felt a lot of the emotions that Ness portrayed through Todd. The highs and lows that he put into these stories really brought the characters to life. It was amazing to experience the growth of the character Todd from Book 1 to Book 2 to Book 3 in the series."
