The Knife of Never Letting Go

A fantastic reread of one of my favourite books from when I was younger. The world and concept of Prentisstown kept me captivated and turning the pages as quickly as I could.

Todd is the youngest boy in a town filled with only men. His world is overwhelmed with the noise of men???s thoughts which are projected into the air around them. When Todd is a month from his thirteenth birthday, on which he becomes a man, he discovers a patch of quiet in the swamp near his town. No thought can penetrate the quiet, and this discovery changes his perception of the world he knew.

The book was an excellent piece of teen fiction I can???t wait read the rest of the series as I never read past the first book in the series before.
