Not a full review, just a quick note about this installment: it has an episode that made my eyes roll hard.
Which is out of character for this novel. I mean, there are very-long-form coming-of-age stories on this site (such as Stupid Boy and The Defenseman) where eye-rolling is part of the point of reading them. If you aren’t on board with, and enjoying, how ridiculous they are, they aren’t for you. But in this otherwise largely realistic* tale, it stands out in a jarring way.
However, comma, I’ve now reached the last installment and can offer this reassurance: the episode may be out of character for this novel, but it is not out of character for the protagonist. Its consequences, and Andrew’s coping with them, reverberate organically through to the end and are resolved with excellence. So strap down those peepers and read on.
… er, don’t overthink that last metaphor. Andrew does enough overthinking for all of us.
* The author describes Andrew’s adventures as “any one of them plausible, the totality utterly preposterous.” Accurate, but I’m sticking with “largely realistic” anyway.
