About anything. There is no privacy. There are no secrets.

Just one month away from the birthday that will make him a man, Todd unexpectedly stumbles upon a spot of complete silence. The Knife of Never Letting Gobesides having an awesome title, has an amazing main character, Todd.

He lives on New Leting and his parents were some of the first settlers there.

Todd is the youngest boy in Prentisstown, with only a month until he becomes a man. But his world soon turns lettin down as he has to face the fact that everything he has ever been told is a lie. I absolutely adore the writing style used in this book. His education has been poor at best, so he barely knows how to read.

I like how the Noise is always in bold or italicized to add extra emphasis. Actually, every animal can speak in some sort of way.

Sheep, squirrels, crocodiles. The only negative comment I could make would be that the story is almost repetitive.

It added to the mood of desperation, frustration, and suspense. The ending.

This is a beauty of an ending, one I never, ever saw coming. It jumped right at me, just as I was wondering how there could possibly be reviea other books following this one. Now I must get my hands on book two. I very much recommend it. Reader, writer, chocolate lover.]
