I think Brewer is talented in writing but, didn't care very much for where the story went. the sections recounting the Great Chemical Spill were probably my favourite and the most gut-wrenching horrifying bit of writing in here. I also feel like the description of depression is ON POINT. But I wouldn't recommend anyone I know read this because it's like a great big diary entry of someone getting magically better after one dose of medicine and then everything becomes a breeze (read:boring).

When a once-promising young writer agrees to ghostwrite a famous physicist’s memoir, his life is already starting to crack, weighed down by debt, marital issues, and depression he exaggerates his abilities knowing that every portion of the memoir he writes repairs his own life a little bit more. So what happens when partway through the project,: the physicist vanishes, leaving him with only a fraction of the information he needs to finish the job?
With everything, including his sanity is in jeopardy, he undergoes an experimental, psychedelic treatment and finds his world completely transformed.. With incredible imagination and expertly formed sequences, Brewer paints a bold and beautiful picture of a person on the edge, zig-zagging through art, memory, and the ways our lives intertwine and align within the riddles of space and time, and. exploring the depth of the human spirit.
The Red Arrow is in a category all its own and is easily the best mind-bending, compulsively readable story to hit shelves in a long time.
A big thank you to negalley and publishers for providing an advanced e-copy for me to read and give my honest opinions on the experience that is The Red Arrow.
