However recently, I just kept coming back to it with the feeling I was missing out. It was a something I was meaning to read and, for some reason, never got hold of a copy. Patrick Ness shot to prominence in 2009 when The Knife of Never Letting Go, the first in the Chaos Walking trilogy, won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize.
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. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. 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. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men.
