Hey
there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and
lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird,
wacky and wondrous. I'm Mama Ogre and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Book
blog day boo yah. As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were
we talk anything and everything and pretty much run with it. Today's
blog is on the book
Overdue
assignments.
Overbearing
parents.
Overactive
parents.
Being
sixteen sure does suck sometimes.
Yet
Mike DeVelli Jr. knows he is destined for greatness. His mother
always told him so- at least, until the unfortunate day an overdose
took her to an early grave. As grief befalls the DeVelli house,
Mike's father retreats to the liquor bottle, while mike throws
himself into exercise. All this while avoiding the pitying gazes of
the students at school whom he always struggled to fit in with.
It's
not all bad, though. He has his best friend Joey, a loyal and quick
witted kid who's raging libido brings its own troubles; and he has
Nicole, his girlfriend of nearly two years. Sweet, strong Nicole. She
knows mike even better than he knows himself. Lately, he's been
acting differently. Distant, weird, with an arrogance even his
newly-formed six-pack doesn't warrant. Nicole has noticed. And she's
not the only one.
Mike
catches the eye of popular IT girl, Priya , at school. Flirtation
spills over and they agree to meet, but she fails to show, and mike
feels rejected yet again. Priya is soon reported missing and Mike
becomes a lead suspect in her disappearance. As the town of Flatbush
searches desperately for Priya, the investigation mounts, with many
residents under the magnifying glass of inspector peter McCall and
officer Espinoza. The evidence continues to point to mikes direction
and with the help of Nicole and Joey, the three teenagers decide the
only option is to uncover the identity of the real culprit.
Getting
closer to the truth, he learns that his seemingly ordinary family
tree has supernatural roots, and as he comes face to face with a
hungry, evil enemy, he discovers a power inside himself that will
create a wave of change in the world.

This
is one of these books where I struggled to both keep and finish
reading. Whilst the characters were great and the plot a good
premise. the pacing/timing was extremely slow building and didn't
keep me interested enough to continue reading the whole book
Rawiri
James was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand and for the past
eight years has spent most of his adult life working corporate by day
and music by night. In 2015 James and his frequent collaborator
Frhetoric released DTF (a hip-hop party album) and once promotional
rounds were done James enlisted Frhetoric to co-produce his solo
debut album, Lost Boy. James came up with the book whilst finishing
his album due to the musics themes being an influence.
I
believe that Rawiri James is a good creator and considering he got
the premise of a book whilst creating music is a great feat in and of
itself.
