I've been wanting to read this book for awhile. I hate when I do this too because I always get myself pumped up for the book and I expect a lot from it. Then it turns out not to be able to live up to my expectations. This books wasn't one of those. It was by no means a let down. I was a little confused at the beginning. Not sure what was going on. It also intrigued me to keep going. I'm so glad I did. I never wanted to put this book down. My family is so glad to see that I've finally finished it and will no longer neglect them. (They don't know there is 2 more books in the series).
It's about Noise. Yes... Noise. And lots of it. It's about a colony of people who came from another planet looking for a better life. When they landed on this new planet they found they had been infected with Noise. You can here everything. People speaking, people thinking, animals speaking. The Noise never stops. It can drive someone/anyone insane. It infected everyone except the women didn't get infected as bad. They can hear the Noise but others can't hear them. This makes women dangerous to some and wise to others.
Todd is a young boy that was born on this planet. He experiences Noise just like everyone else but unlike the adults, he was born with Noise and never knew what it was like without it. He does like the quiet though and when he gets a chance to go out to the swamp for apples, he takes the chance. No one goes out there. There is still Noise from the wildlife (cause there is always Noise) but no more thoughts of men bombarding his brain. Once he out there though he notices a void of silence. Never had he heard silence before. Soon he'll discover what that means and his whole world will change.
I totally enjoyed this book. The short chapters almost always ending with cliff hangers kept me glued to the book. I look forward to reading book 2.
