This Book Is A Masterpiece Start To End - Tumblr Posts

It should be a crime how we are made to listen for 4 hours about a child living in his happy little bubble of science and magic and love and music.

Of course there are mean people in this story but they dont concern him, they don't concern us. We watch with him from a distance, curious, as the provlem is solved, and we move on.

We explore and learn and discover with him. We start to love this child and Ben and his parent and his trupe, his family. Edema Ruh. We are with him on the road and in Bens caravan and in his mind.

For 5 hours we stay there and forget about everything that is to come (because of course we have listened to/read it before and we know). Its bittersweet the whole time really.

On the 23h 10m mark on audible, it is all taken away.

As the child is no longer in this bubble.

We become the boy in the forest too.
