“A Whole Lot” by Bradley Wind
Published by Kindle Press
Finished 8/3/16 – 3/5 stars
This is the story of Abel, a young boy who became a savant
after he experienced a head trama when his mother dropped him as a little boy. He spent years in foster care before a family
member could be located to take care of him.
Unfortunately, that family member has a lot to learn about motherhood
and how to treat others in general. As a
savant, Abel doesn’t have a normal childhood – he’s too intelligent for regular
school, has a difficult time getting along with others his age, and is obsessed
with mathematical theories and formulas.
This book tells of how Abel tries to overcome obstacles thrown at him
while trying to make a better life for himself.
Whereas I enjoyed the story, I feel like it fell a little
short…..yet I can’t explain exactly how.
There were times the story didn’t seem to flow very well and at times there
were just too many details related to Abel’s math theory, although I know that
was a big part of the story so should have been expected. Overall it was a good book, just not one of
my favorites.
I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest
review.
