A passage. This story is a passage. A
chapter from my earliest adventures. A moment in time recounting the first time
I traveled through time...or something like that. I may have been dimension
hopping. We're still not certain. Anyway, I share this with you because it was
also the first time (time, time, time...) I met Ezekiel and Jacob Trate, or any
other member of the Trate family. I share this with you because it was the
first time I met Frank. I share this with you because the whole deal was a
portal full of fun (you'll get this joke once you start reading).
MY REVIEW:
The adventure is very interesting and many of the plot points and concepts are very intriguing. However, because it's so short, some of these concepts are very quickly glossed by. There are several things I'd like to know more about that I didn't get to. This book is divided into three chapters and there are several line breaks between paragraph sections to structure the story. I wasn't wild about this organizational method to start, but it DOES make a handy tool for planning three reading sessions.
The Boy Who Fell From the Past definitely won't be for everything. The storytelling style is whimsical and playful. It's very...Alice in Wonderland meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to me. I definitely feel like this would have been a book I'd come across in a creative writing course or a really fun indie publisher. It's so out of the norm and it has such an eclectic approach. This is a book that you'll either love, find enjoyment in, or probably hate if you're not into its narrative style and structure. It really is a narrative approach unto itself. I did enjoy it, but I did feel some drawbacks with it in terms of length, some division breaks, and the narration shift initially jarred me a lot. That being said I did have a good time with it and I would be interested in reading Truant's next adventure. I give The Boy Who Fell From the Past a Lone Star rating of ✯✯✯ stars. If you enjoy unconventional storytelling approaches and want some whimsy in your reading, this is your book.
