Alternate chapters follow teenagers Todd and Viola, who become separated as the Mayor's oppressive new regime takes power in New Prentisstown, a space colony where residents can hear each other's thoughts.It had been a while since I read the first part of this series so I was lost at the beginning. I don't like the alternate chapters concept....messes with my caring about the people. That being said, the concept for this book is great. I loved the crowd control method of the Mayor & the way Todd justifies doing unspeakable evil...it speaks to all of us about the things we do because we are too afraid not to follow the crowd. The ending just blew me away--I couldn't believe he could be so stupid! Great fantasy.
Rating: 8 of 10.
