I struggle to imagine what that would be like -nowhere is quiet and everybody knows what you’re thinking, all the time. This town only includes men, and they can all hear each others thoughts, constantly. The story is set in the New World, in a place called Prentisstown. Sometimes the wording or spelling would bother me slightly, because things would be spelled wrong on purpose to further the point of the story being written by Todd Hewitt – a thirteen year old with a little education from his carers. I liked how it was written, as it made the book seem like a form of diary for the main character, and was spoken in his voice. I found the idea behind the book really unique and started to enjoy the story from very early on. Many of my favourite booktubers loved this book, so I was intrigued to see if I would agree with them. Which is impossible.Īfter owning this book for over a year, I finally decided to pick it up and see if it lived up to all of the hype. Then, just one month away from the birthday that will make Todd Hewitt a man, he unexpectedly stumbles on a spot of complete silence. Everyone can hear everyone else’s thoughts in a constant, overwhelming, never-ending noise.
