Review
Never could I imagine what
a tremendous story was hidden behind the title and cover.
I was flabbergasted,
looking around the scenery I was just stunned.
Try to imagine a big cruise
ship sailing on a chocolate ocean with a white-chocolate dolphin and a bright
rainbow in the sky.
That’s exactly the place
where Ferris landed from... he doesn’t know or remember.
It was a surrealistic world,
a bit chaotic, all those different impressions and creatures. Ferris and my
head swirled.
Ferris wants to go home
where the ocean is of water. For that to happen, he has to find the Alchemist. Some
people will help him, like Cole, Camilla, Olive, Molly, and more. It seems they
want to help him, only first; something has to be solved.
It’s as two worlds are
living parallel. Ferris’s own, and the world on board and the second one has
two sides, a bright and a dark one. And every time Ferris talks about home and
his boyfriend it seems the dark side takes over.
There is so much going on. Like
people gain insight, and layers come down.
Ferris got a lot of
questions from the people who wanted to help him. Questions with depth. Slowly,
he understands what everything means.
Imaginary and real-life are
colliding. The metaphor turns into reality.
An unbelievable good
layered story about surviving and finding your inner strength. Sometimes life
throws dirt at you and your vision gets indistinct. The way the author touches
this content was breathtaking, just breathtaking. I was deeply touched by this
story. I think every living soul can learn here.
What an excellently written
story! At times I couldn’t read because of my blurred vision, all my emotions
bubbling up.
Memorable pieces are
passing by onboard; I was floored. The tart and witty comments here and there
were exquisite. But the lessons learned from them were the most spectacular.
Deep bow!!
