The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman by Julietta Henderson
5.0
I love Norman Foreman! I want more Norman Foreman stories!
That’s all, that’s my review!
Kidding!
This is one of those books you just want to hug at the end.
I totally loved this story. Norman has a friend Jax. Jax and Norman like comedy and they make a plan. Unfortunately a tragic event thwarts the plan and Norman has to decide what he really wants. His mum, Sadie, is unsure about all this comedy stuff let alone making sure her son fulfills the Five Year Plan. What this story is… a roadtrip of self-discovery and enlightenment.
This is such a feel good story. I wanted to reach in and hug Norman and his mum all the time, really. It’s just endearing.
The events that transpire, the people they meet on their adventurous road trip are just perfect. Norman has a certain quality about him that makes the reader fall in love, you really can’t help it. And he’s funny too!
Although some of the elements in this story relate to death and depression it is quite a lighthearted read. Julietta balanced the humour and the sadness beautifully. I was happy to read this book but I was sad that it ended.
I highly recommend this wonderful lighthearted, thought provoking and enlightening story.
Thanks go to the author and The Pigeonhole for the wonderful experience of reading this book in an online book club. I am super happy to tell you about this wonderful story. As I said, I highly recommend this book.
