Here is an author who strikes many familiar chords, brings you to the brink of feelings you think you may have already experienced, teeters you at the edge of emotional cliffs and opens doors for you (but only slightly ajar) so you can peek inside and decide whether you want to continue on in your state of oblivion.
The writing flows smoothly and fluidly while deftly snagging you and keeping you wrapped up in the mindset designed by the carefully constructed sentences and selection of words that had never before been so expertly assembled.
And along the way, you may want to remember:
If the universe is a reality, then nothing is impossible.
Be grateful you have to endure only vicariously what happens in The Big Swallow; and recognize that you will also be jealous and envious of what happens; and be mesmerized by the details; and stunned by the truths you may have looked right passed, ignored or misinterpreted. You will be shaken to see that you have been living the depictions.
Please do not reveal the ending if you have regard for others. Reading the ending first will be relatively meaningless and without surprise and devoid of stun if you do not travel the beginning and witness the middle and allow yourself to be thrown into the ending.
