I think you'll like it, it's truly brilliant :) And it's not really a talking dog, it's much more complicated than that, you'll see what I mean, it's GENIUS :)
This one has been on my to-read list for a while now, so I'm glad to finally be getting around to it! I hope that this discussion thread picks up; it's my first one here so I'd love for the discussion to pick up!
It's amazing, enjoy!! I'll talk about it as much as you want, I'm obsessed lol!
i LOVE this book!!!!
Lol you have to be my friend then :)
Ok!!! Ha ha I wish the whole world would just become friends over a book!!! World peace would be achieved!!! :)
Ha ha! That's the secret to world peace, you've discovered it! Now if we can just agree on a book for everyone to like...
Exactly! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!! Now what book?
One of my favorite books ever, along with the rest of the series! Poo, Todd?

and
. Soooo good!
Yes! Those short stories are AWESOME :)
I'm so excited! I just got it from the library and I can't wait to start reading!
It took me a long time to get into this initially; I usually go back and forth on books written in dialect. But from about chapter 3 on it grabbed me and didn't let go until I'd torn through the entire series. Such great books!
Oh, and the dog. The dog! Don't want to spoil it for anyone, but that dog became one of my all time favorite literary characters.
MANCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Manchee!!!!
I agree Manchee is a great character. I think that is just how my dog would talk!
I named my car after this dog. This book is seriously my favourite book of all time(Well, I guess my favourite series) and I'd always read too much to stick with one favourite for long. Seriously, when I finished the third one I put it down and didn't want to read another book ever again. This feeling lasted for days. I can't even begin to describe the wonders Patrick Ness managed to write.
I find it hard to start. I been dragging it around buy havent really 'read' it. Will try hard as it seems I'm not the only one finding it difficult to start it.

It's my favorite dystopian and dystopians are my fave, so that's saying something. So awesome you named your car after Manchee!

To be fair, my car has quite the long name. But I call him Manchee. Because he's an idiot and has a lot of problems but when it comes down to it he's a ruddy good car. (:

Prentisstown isn't like other towns. Everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts in an overwhelming, never-ending stream of Noise. Just a month away from the birthday that will make him a man, Todd and his dog, Manchee -- whose thoughts Todd can hear too, whether he wants to or not -- stumble upon an area of complete silence. They find that in a town where privacy is impossible, something terrible has been hidden -- a secret so awful that Todd and Manchee must run for their lives.
But how do you escape when your pursuers can hear your every thought?
