Thoughts: I enjoyed this book by listening it then actual reading it. I don't know why but this book is really good to listen to and I could get into it more.
I love the setting of New World and how it's colony based. I don't know if I could live where people can hear my thoughts though it's just a male thing. However I'll still be able to hear them and that's scary to think about. Todd Hewitt only wanted to be a man but then he ended up on the run with his dog Manchee and Viola. The first female he's meet and can't hear. It becomes a race where It's the men in Prentisstown and Aaron are headed to New Haven. Todd had a very annoying character at first and seemed to cry a whole lot. But then his situation wasn't the easiest on the run and not knowing what was ahead. Viola though she was a mute in the first part after that I just thought she was a smart ass. But somehow the three of them worked will together.
I do have to say that Patrick Ness sure know how to make unlikable characters. Aaron was the one character I wanted to die the most but seemed not to want to. Of all the almost deaths you would of thought he was invincible. And the mayor though he wasn't in it much more the beginning and end him and his son where crazy. The mayor was a more let others do his dirty work for him.
My favorite character has to be Manchee he so reminded me of the dog in that movie UP and cracked up with his stupidness. But he was also a very loyal dog to Todd and Viola as good dogs should. Another is the old man that no one every believe I thinks his names Griff but not all the way sure. He was a good relief character and helped Todd and Viola two times.
In a nutshell, all in all I really enjoyed this book with all the mystery behind the noise and why Prentisstown is hated by the other colonies. I can't wait to read the second book Ask and Answer which I'll be doing though audible as well.
