thecosynook 's review for:
The Shock of the Fall
by Nathan Filer
This book! Wow! I have never read a book quite like it. There are plenty of books about grief, the death of a sibling, mental illness however they all seem a little fake and everything gets neatly tied up at the end in a nice big red bow where the main character has accepted the death and no longer has any mental problems. However the world is not like that and neither is this book.
At the start of this book I didn't think it was going to be very good, the writing seemed a bit all over the place and it did make it quite confusing so I was thinking about not continuing with it but I thought I'd give it ago because everyone says it's such a great book. I am so glad that I pushed on! The story is supposed to be confusing and jumbled up as the main character is just writing about his story as it comes to him, he may decide to talk about his dad but then get distracted by the nurse so will talk about her instead. This is a really interesting way to read a book, it is like a jigsaw puzzle, you know all the pieces however you do not find them in the correct order but by the time you finish the book you can see how they all slot together and form the bigger picture.
