THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO, by Patrick Ness

Where can he run that the Noise won't follow?

Todd lives in a world where there are no women, and where the thoughts of every man on the planet are audible to everyone else.  This overwhelming jumble of thoughts is called The Noise, and it’s everywhere.  So when Todd finds a hole in The Noise, and somehow a girl in the hole, he knows it means trouble.  What he doesn’t know is that it means he’ll be running for his life after making a horrifying discovery about the town where he’s always lived.  The men in his town don’t let him leave quietly, though – and the hunt is on.  Add a relentless chase, a crazy preacher, and an awesome talking dog and you’ve got a page-turner that keeps you hooked right up to the cliff-hanger ending.
