The Noise Inside My Head

17.12 The Knife of Never Letting Go
Memories of my past bang around in my head all day long. Some of it makes me happy, but mostly it makes me suffer, over and over. What would it be like if you could hear all of that along with all of everyone else's?  Noise, with a capital N; giving it its own being. Fitting that this book gave it that capital.

In New World, there are only men and all of them can hear every thought of every other man.  Crazy Town, right?  Right.  Things aren’t great there, to say the least, but this is Todd’s home.  Then one day he is told he has to run and leave it all behind, no reason given – Just Run!  This is a straight up adventure book and a book for boys!  Girls will like it too, but boys are so much harder to find things for that this makes me super excited to see.  It is a coming of age story, but also an unraveling mystery.  There are some great ethical discussions to come out of it and two more books in the trilogy that are already written.

The cliffhanger ending is a major whiplash but not enough to make me give up on book two, and as soon as possible!
