fonril 's review for:
Boy Swallows Universe
by Trent Dalton
Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton is another great read, I seem to be on a roll of choosing well of late. It's been described as a "coming of age" story of Eli Bell, 12 years old as we begin the book but really, were Eli or his older brother Gus ever only 12 years in the world at any point? Theirs is a world of family dysfunction, poverty, violence, criminality and hardship. But more than anything, it's a story of the love between brothers, the love of family that supersedes everything.
