becklabeck 's review for:
Falling Out of Time
by David Grossman
I got this book in a shop during a road trip and read it out loud to my family on our way home. It was a short and simple read, but surprisingly complex and powerful. It's written in a very unique format, sort of like a play, but not completely. It is surreal, unconventional, and poignant. It deals with the aftermath of the loss of a child in such a beautiful and touching way, and although I have no firsthand experience with such a topic, the emotion extended beyond the pages and affected me as I read.
I would call this book artistic but I did not find it, by any means, pretentious or showy. The writing was superb, the situation was enthralling, and the entire story was delicate and stirring. It is an unusual thing of beauty, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for such.
