The Knife of Never Letting Go is a young-adult science fiction novel written by Patrick Ness. The book takes place in a small settlement called Prentisstown on "New World". The strange thing about this town is that it only has men and everyone can hear each other’s thoughts, no privacy, a never ending noise, and no secrets. In this town is Todd Hewitt, the last boy in Prentisstown. Just one month before his birthday Todd stumbled upon a spot with complete silence, which is impossible. This means that Prentisstown had been lying to him. Todd goes back to tell his adoptive parents Ben and Cillian about this, they tell him to run away from the town as far as possible. Todd obeys unwillingly and soon finds himself being chased by Army of Prentisstown men. While he escapes he finds a girl named Viola who crashed inside a space pod. Now both Todd and Viola have to run away from Prentisstown army to somewhere safe, but they do not know if there are other settlements in New World. I loved this book because of its original plot full of mystery which you have to think about and the interesting Sci-Fi setting. I would recommend anyone interested into science fiction to read this book because the story is worth it.
