Representaion Conducive To Books The Fell
In an unspecified time and location, an unnamed boy is living what he feels to be an idyllic life in the faded and peeling Lido where his father is a lifeguard. He idolises his father – never more so than when he saves the life of a suicidal man – and he comes to believe that heroism is all. The arrest of his sister Lilly later that summer brings the halcyon days to an abrupt end, and his family is torn apart, with Lilly sent to jail and the boy set to a boarding house for dysfunctional boys, far away from his home – The Fell. The boys in the home become his family and they band together against their enemies, both real and imagined, and they become family. The boy sees the world and his place in it through a unique lens. He meets ghosts, hears voices and battles his fears. What he never does, however, is question his own version of reality. When the boy's fear and hatred of authority come to a head, everything is thrown into disarray and his action lead him to run from the Fell. And run, and run . . .Rating Containing Books The Fell

The Fell was a fantastic journey into the unique literary mind of Robert Jenkins. With a style that is certainly not the norm, the book does require the reader to have a certain level of creativity and intellect to be able to break their pre conceived notions on how they expect a novel to be formulated. Once you allow yourself to be absorbed by the pages however it is a riveting and intoxicating ride. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with The Fell and Jenkins storytelling and I can not wait for hisAmbitious and successful, by and large. Not easy to read. Very moving.
Gosh, Im quite surprised to see folk couldnt enjoy this book because there was no name place or date given. Seems a strange thing to get caught up about when the writing, word play and characters are all so excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with The Fell, there was a lot I could relate too having once been a boarder too, its a truly unique experience for a young person, where the relationships you forge are everything. I look forward to hearing more from this author.
The Fell is the real deal. It caught me from page one, and as soon as I picked up the beat of the voice I was hooked. This a very clever piece of story telling.I am 22 years old, male, studying literature at university and when I was at school, I used to board. More relevant than that, I was young (!) and faced the challenges of youth and I still do. The Fell resonates, it moves and entertains. It is entirely, perfectly authentic. The Fell will shock, disturb, inspire, inform, entertain
