The tragic was relentless, and you have to read through all three books PLUS the concluding short story, “Snowscape,” before you learn all the hard (finally) ends with happy. The good guys work really hard to be good guys but terrible things happen, over and over. The story is much more tragic than I remember. Here are some new thoughts for a new decade. Future space pilgrims land on a new world to start over–only to discover on this world, men’s (but not women’s) thoughts can be heard by everyone.
I remember enough to know WHY I liked a book, but it might as well be the first time when it comes to remember the details!Įverything I said back in 2013 about Chaos Walking remains true: I loved reading it. Turns out 10 years is the perfect gap to re-read my favorite books. I bet Patrick Ness really hates Suzanne Collins… The Ask and the Answer (Chaos Walking #2) It leaves room to go back to the novel and enjoy its additional sequences and context, and go back to the movie for its action and visual elements.The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking #1) While I think Chaos Walking could have benefitted from a longer runtime to flesh out some of the major differences in the novel we missed in the movie, overall the film does do an adequate job of keeping the novel’s story intact.
Plus, in the movie Mads Mikkelsen’s Mayor villain seems to have died in a final face off between him and Todd, perhaps with the possibility of surviving his plummet? But in the books, the Mayor takes over all of the New World, leading into a bigger plotline for him in the rest of the trilogy. Then, there’s a lot that happens on the abandoned ship they use for communication in the film, such as Viola killing him so she can contact said ship, but in the book she does it so Todd doesn’t have more blood on his hands.
But, in the novels, this doesn’t happen until the second book. One major plot point of both is Viola needing to contact her ship and in the movie she successfully does so by the end of Chaos Walking. Going hand in hand with the hurried third act of Chaos Walking as a movie is a few notable changes to the movie not found in the book. (Image credit: (Lionsgate)) The End Of Chaos Walking
