Book Review: Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

Hardcover, 438 pages

Published October 4th 2011 by Simon & Schuster

My rating: 5 of 5 stars:)


   The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They've overcome the secrets riddled in Patch's dark past...bridged two irreconcilable worlds...faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust...and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they've worked for—and their love—forever.

My Thoughts:

      I’m loving it where the story is going. It’s definitely NOT one of those confused, unplanned, unpremeditated, futile and pointless SERIES that’s spreading like wildfire in the book industry.

     I wasn’t really in love with Patch for Hush Hush and Crescendo. There were just moments where I LIKED him, but he was TOO rough for my taste (nyeheheh). BUT! Around halfway through Silence, I.AM.FREAKING.IN.LOVE.WITH.PATCH! haha. I admit I admit that in the beginning I hated Patch because of many unpleasant things and decisions he made. Poor Nora is on her own. With no memory for the past 5 months...even her own mother and BFF Vee left her blind about Patch’s history with Nora. Although Vee filled up Nora with some details, but she left the most important one. I’m really glad for Scott being there when nobody was. Then later on Patch came around. All’s well between Nora and Patch. I love. I love every scene they have. I love how deep their relationship is now compared to before (despite some missing memories from Nora, but later on it went back). I love Nora’s emotional speech to Patch (the one with “even if I lost my memories, the feeling is there” gosh, i wanted to cry there). Patch however is the one who transformed the most. He’s so romantic and more intimate in his conversations with Nora. He’s more expressive and aahh I love it when he says “I love you” and all those lines which are NOT AT ALL cheesy. I don’t know how it was not cheesy, it was great!

     The main story of Silence is awesome. The pacing was just right. It has the right amount of everything. The action part was not very many but it was surprisingly okay. I just had a lot of recalling to do but I was enlightened as I read on (as Nora was also remembering some stuff). The characters. Nora. Although she was basically stripped down of her memories, it’s like being back to square one, but her recovery was fast. She really changed. This situation she’s in made her to be more bad ass, her fashion is better (I haven’t noticed this before), she’s still intelligent and smart, though her applications of this is different this time. I love how independent she became. She’s obedient but a bit dangerously curious and her “sneak-outs” were really successful which goes to show she’s getting better. Although I have to say she was a bit tough in the end, but her true kind self won over (if I can say). Let’s go over to Patch. Gosh, i can’t say anymore of what I’ve said earlier. Love him.

    For the rest of the story, you guys would have to read it. READ IT. read it. Definitely WORTH THE WAIT. I can’t wait for the LAST INSTALLMENT. The ending of Silence was such a CLEAN CUT. my line “Nora, come on, decide, decide! :)”.

very VERY good job Becca!
