![]() ![]() ![]() Eli is obsessed with details those little things in life which others don’t notice. In the beginning I did struggle a little to connect with the story as the writing is quite abstract in places, but it’s beautifully written and the story builds slowly allowing the reader time to connect with the characters before the plot really gets going. I don’t think I’ve read anything quite like it. It’s a coming of age drama and a gritty crime, with a little surreal magic realism thrown in. ![]() It’s a stunning story which takes the reader through the seedy crime underworld of Brisbane and a whirlwind of emotions, all through the eyes of a young boy called Eli. This book was not what I was expecting, but then I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I received Boy Swallows Universe in exchange for an honest review ![]()
