Great storyline with great character development and characters. I actually really enjoyed the book except there was way too much dialogue. I thought Boy Swallows Universe had a little too much dialogue in it. Surely you don't need to expand so much on every thought the main character has. I found myself thinking, "Please get to the point", so often in this book. However, as I said, I still enjoyed the book but will probably wait awhile before reading another Trent Dalton book.
