Patrick Ness |
Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the
settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear
everything the men think, and they hear everything he
thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but
in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is
hiding something from him — something so awful Todd is
forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice
he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the
two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a
girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all
the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty
narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in
which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything
he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.
The narrative is dark, but the ending is even darker and though it
works on an intellectual level, it's an emotional sucker
punch - a cliffhanger that makes you think the book must be
missing some pages.
Guard your heart - it will swell with compassion, it will be broken
and it will pound with excitement and anticipation when you
are done.
Patrick Ness is a first rate storyteller with a vivid
imagination and he is a powerful literary talent that
deserves paying attention to. For readers of all ages, this
non-stop thriller will take you places you've never dreamed
possible.
