Book Synopsis:
An epic tale of boyhood from a unique and unforgettable new voice .
William Tyce is a boy without parents, left under the care of an eccentric, absent uncle. To impose order on the sudden chaos of his life, he crafts a glossary-style list, through which he imparts his particular wisdom and thoughts on subjects ranging from ASPHALT PATHS, CAMPFIRE and NIGHT RAT to MORTAL BETRAYAL, SANITY and REVELATION.
His improbable quest—to create a reference volume specific to his existence—takes him on a journey down the river by raft (see MYSTICAL VISION, see NAVIGATING BIG RIVERS BY NIGHT). He seeks to discover how his mother died (see ABSENCE) and find reasons for his father’s disappearance (see UNCERTAINTY, see VANITY). But as he goes about defining his changing world, all kinds of extraordinary and wonderful things begin to happen to him…

My Review:
This was an unique book, unlike anything I’ve read before. I’m normally not a fan of books which feature stream of consciousness but this one actually really appealed to me. I think it was the fact that I had to work things out for myself rather than being spoonfed them which I enjoyed as it was good to try to work everything out.
William was a brilliant main character who was very likeable and I felt quite sorry for him. It was very sweet that he wanted to try and take control of his own life and decide what he wanted to do. I quickly warmed to him and I wanted to keep reading to discover how things would go for him.
Overall I though this was an intriguing read which I found very enjoyable. I’m now very interested to read more from this author in the future.
Huge thanks to Nikki Griffiths from Melville House for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
