Review: 

"The Noise is a man unfiltered, and without a filter, a man is just chaos walking."

Todd Hewitt lives in Prentisstown, a town where privacy is impossible. Every resident in the town of all men can hear each other’s thoughts. It’s not as simple as hearing the inner dialogue of everyone as if they’re talking; their thoughts come out in a choppy, unorganized stream of Noise. One afternoon, Todd and his dog Manchee (whose thoughts Todd can hear) come across a peculiar patch of Noiseless quiet in the swamp, and their lives change dramatically as they uncover dark secrets about Prentisstown and the men that live there.

Review: SPOILER FREE

I originally had borrowed Blood Red Road from my friend who had it sitting out on her side table forever. She had never read it, and I was curious enough. So, I borrowed it, and in my book club we decided that it would be our BOTM. I'd never heard anybody talk about it before, and I had never heard of Moira Young. We decided that it would be an adventure to read a novel completely unknown to us for our first book club book. Once we read it, we were very glad that we indulged.
