A review by elizamkc
Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton
5.0
When I finished this book I was stunned with a moment of grief, face with the thought that no other book will be as good as the one I had just read.
Multiple times the novel came to a climax and I would wonder how Dalton would fill the following 100+ pages, but I should have had more faith. The story is gut wrenching at times, but also filled with moments of joy, companionship and humour. Set in a refreshingly Australian context.
