The Knife of Never Letting Go is a great book by Patrick Ness. It is written in first person (the main character's point of view) and has a dystopian concept. Todd Hewitt is one month away from being 13 years old when (after picking apples from the swamp nearby town) he stumbles across a small patch of silence. He describes the silence as if he wants to be pulled into it and cries a bit before heading back toward town. This silence is never heard in Prentisstown (the town in which Todd lives), for Prentisstown is located in New World, where everyone has something that is called Noise. Noise is basically a person's mind. It displays to the outside world what one is thinking, whether they are pictures, colors, words, sounds or feelings. Noise doesn't always tell the truth and pieces of memories can be hidden from other people by putting a lot of other "pieces" of Noise on top of each other, like layers on a cake. Todd owns a dog, Manchee, who (he says) is annoying and he dislikes very much (he says he wanted a knife for his birthday). Meanwhile, Manchee loves Todd very much and would do anything for him. Their relationship strengthens throughout the book, and they become almost inseparable. Todd grows to love Manchee. Manchee talks (all animals in this book do). Todd gets back to town and braces himself for how much Noise there is. There are 146 men in Prentisstown and that's A LOT of Noise for one to handle. Todd's guardians are Ben and Cillian. Todd's parents both died (his mother from the Noise germ [as did all women] and his father from an illness he discovered not too long after the colonies landed on New World [the planet in which this story is set in]) and Ben and Cillian, Todd's parents' friends, were told to look out for him. Not long after arriving in town, Todd is forced to flee to another town and never look back. He is given a knife and some other supplies of survival, as well his mother's diary and a map of New World. Todd takes Manchee with him as he runs, in search of a town he never heard of before and having to somehow outrun a whole army who's after him.
