Publisher's Summary
Now a major motion picture, the first novel in the riveting Chaos Walking trilogy by two-time Carnegie Medalist Patrick Ness.
“Narrated with crack dramatic and comic timing.... The cliffhanger ending is as effective as a shot to the gut.” --Booklist (starred review)
Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him - something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.

One of the greats
Great read or should I say listen, however you choose to enjoy you won't regret it.
This book is right up there with ' The adventures of Huckleberry Finn' in my opinion .

quite interesting world
"The Noise is a man unfiltered, and without a filter, a man is just chaos walking."
This is very new and fun concept I never thought of at all. And everything going on in the main character's head we can read. sometimes it is little too much. Through out the book he keeps repeating same phrase at least three times. lol. But the story is so intense and keeps me in the focus.

Narrator was Fantastic!
Nick Podehl absolutely killed it, he brought all the characters to life, and made each one have a unique voice. Manchee, Todd, and all the creatures. Patrick Ness wrote a great and addictive story that Nick Podehl brought to life.

read it before the movie comes out!
I read this series years ago and wanted to hear it again before the movie cut it down. The struggles felt in the oppression of the characters and the way "news" and belief are spread are relevant in the current climate.

Impossible to stop
The narrator is incredible and made me feel like I was in the story! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, I cried, I laughed, I waited. Just amazing.

I hope the movie is better
I don't want to ruin anything but if you're into something with a lot of despair then you'll like this. I won't be moving on to book 2.
