The Knife of Never Letting Go

This is a really interesting book.  It takes place on a colonized world that is called the New World.  It is a coming of age story that takes place in a town called Prentisstown.  There are no women, killed by what is known as the Noise.  The Noise is a germ that is spread by the Spackles, the native aliens of the planet.  When Todd finds a hole in the Noise, he freaks out.  His parents help him run away and he runs into a girl, the only one he's ever seen in real life.  The story looks mostly at how nothing is ever what it seems.  The emotions in this book range, but the suspense is extremely well played out.
This is the first book in a series called Chaos Walking.
