Here's the latest Buckyball review from ebooks review...For a NaNo Novel writer that I have never EVER heard of before, I have to admit that Fabien Roy is going to be on my watch list. Buckyball is a weird tale of a man who experiments with a new form of ecstasy (the drug, not the feeling) and finds himself in a reality that doesn’t usually come with the pill.
Looking at the description, you wouldn’t be particularly impressed. “Oh another time travel story, yawn.”
This isn’t a “usual” story though. It’s not just the travel, its the way the the stories of each person are told that really made it a page turner for me. I found myself biting my lip when there was danger. The unpredictability really appealed to me. Telling the story in first person of the prime character was a nice touch, especially when you knew that the whole occurrence was still happening even as the character TOLD the story! I kept wondering if he would even be able to finish the story.
Plenty of danger and action as well as bright descriptions of the feelings while on drugs made this exciting and fun. Each character had real feelings and were clear to the inner eye. Not having done these drugs, I am unsure if the descriptions were accurate, but they sure were interesting and a little tantalizing! A bit of physics and scientific description made me go “hmmm” but fear not, this is not a geek book. Anyone would be able to read these references comfortably. This is set in the 90′s club scene which again I am unfamiliar with, but it wasn’t hard to visualize it!
Because of the drug and sexual references I really have to suggest this book only for adults. I can imagine teenagers really would find themselves tempted by these descriptions. There are a few homophone and spelling errors that are in the book which is acceptable for this effort. The editing was fairly decent. I do recommend either the extra money to repair the mistakes or move to a different publisher for the next published work. Once you move beyond two errors in a book, you risk people putting it down which you don’t want in a book of this caliber.
