The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking) by Patrick Ness, A Review Before the Movie Adaptation

What is the book about?

Prentisstown is a town where everybody can hear everybody's noise. Noise in its own description means that like any other town, people can hear everyone else's thoughts through a stream of Noise. Todd who is turning 13 in just a month, has a dog named Manchee. Even against his will he can hear every noise in Manchee's head. In an unexpected turn of events and the unraveling of awful secrets in a town where you can't hide your noise but can lie about it, Todd and Manchee must run for their lives.

Review.

This is one of the books that I really did not expect too much because I am not a fan of 'YA' sci-fi adventure novels. However, this book excites me from the beginning, the narration was clear and it gave me a lot of pleasure listening.

This one gave me goosebumps and sad feelings mix altogether. Every chapter was thought-provoking, exhilarating, adventurous, heart-wrenching and just plain perfection. I've never read (or yeah heard because I was listening to audible) a piece like this before, everything was original.

Here's why you should read/listen to the book.

1. Of course, other than that its movie is already in its post-production and will be released probably this year, this book is really fast-paced, adventurous, action-packed and emotional. It will make you awake late at night at the edge of your seat thinking what will happen next.

2. This book will make you realize that the noise of men is different from the noise of women and that it needs logical thinking to make them relevant to each other.

3. Every character in this book is complex and has a certain personality that you will like, dislike and even hate.

4. Every scene, story, and character in this book is original. 100% new, unique and authentic.

5. The most likable about this book  is that there's no instant love affair or love at first sight between characters. Yes, they build care and love  but in a more remarkable way.

I really enjoyed my audible experience for this book. Nick Podehl was superb in narrating the whole book. I hope you will enjoy it too. Read or listen before the movie adaptation in theaters.

Atomic Habits by James Clear: A Review

Continuing good habits and eliminating bad ones are the most challenging parts as a human being. I started listening to Amazon audible two months ago. It was convenient seeing my iPad or iPhone with the app early in the morning or before bedtime and the idea of thinking that it's there available all the time. 

Then, I started picking it up and started listening in the morning while I sip my coffee and before bedtime while I'm lying in bed ready to sleep. Not until I read about the habit loop which is clearly explained in this book that I realized what I am doing is developing a good habit.

For me, the CCRR or Cue, Crave, Response, Reward was the highlight of this book and this is just my own-reader-opinion. I was amazed by how my simple act of becoming a member at Audible made me a habitual audiobook listener. 

This book taught me a lot of things which is a far cry from what I expected from the beginning. I thought this book is just the same with other self-help, self-improvement books out there but turned out it's not. This is a life-changing piece of material and when I say life-changing, it is literally really life-changing. 

I'm on my second round of listening to this book again and I recommend that you join in with me. 

The narration on Audible: 5/5 (Recommended)

Happy listening!

Exhilarating, Amazing, Thrilling!

All I have now are praises about this book, it was my adrenaline that pushed me everyday to finish this  book in Amazon Audible. It's truly amazing how the story progressed and how it unfolded. The narration was perfect and I even experienced palpitations because of its brilliant and thrilling plot. 

Anna Fox is truly a masterpiece in this book. It's my first time hearing about someone who has extreme agoraphobia. 

A child psychologist, who suffered a breakdown but now inadequate to leave the four corners of her house. The internet becomes her fortress. Leading a very sad and narrow life, we completely understand Anna’s feelings of helplessness and self-loathing.

One of the highlights of the drama is the perfect pace and the believability of the plot. Slowly we understand Anna and her tortured psyche. It is all very convincing and plausible. I absolutely adored links to the brilliant Alfred Hitchcock.

The author expertly gives us an updated version of Rear Window, the 1954 Hitchcock classic. He quotes from various old movies, as the story progresses. Wonderful. I fully appreciated that. He has done a very fine job.

I would recommend this audible version to everyone! Ann Marie Lee also gives justice in narrating this book. She has a very strong understanding of Anna's feelings and struggles. I enjoyed every inch of this audible book. Way to go audible!
