The Blurb On The Back:
Todd Hewitt is the last boy in Prentisstown.
But Prentisstown isn’t like other towns. Everyone can hear everyone else’s thoughts in a constant, overwhelming, never-ending Noise. There is no privacy. There are no secrets.
Or are there?
Just one month away from the birthday that will make him a man, Todd unexpectedly stumbles upon a spot of complete silence.
Which is impossible.
Prentisstown has been lying to him.
And now he’s going to have to run ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
A stunning YA science fiction novel set in a world where thoughts are not private and history has been rewritten follows a teenage boy whose certainties are challenged and a teenage girl whose existence is seen as a threat. It’s an incredible read and one I’d heartily recommend.
