"What a sad
thing men are. Can’t do nothing good without being so weak we have to mess it
up. Can’t build something up without tearing it down."(Ness, P. 545, 2010)
There, I
found it. I am not going to argue the point. What bothered me is that Patrick
felt it needed to be stated so blatantly. This was very close to the end of the
third book in a series where the above sentiment was pretty obvious. I found it
insulting that Mr. Ness implied that the reader was too stupid to get what he
had been driving at. Sure, he makes his main character dumb, and then not dumb,
and then dumb again so the character can think these things throughout the
series, but this one was just too much. I get it Mr. Ness, you hate humans and what
we have done to the planet.
Get over it.
Please.
