The BBA

To Rise Again At A Decent Hour

, pages


 

This one started out written in something of a manic pace where the protagonist went on a hyped rant about his life, religion, his dental practice, relationships, mobile phones, social media, baseball, etc. It gradually settled in and so did I. Really enjoyed it. Ferris always has a unique twist to his novels, but the unique twist isn’t a gimmick. It doesn’t take over the story. It’s merely a device to help tell the story. In this case, a modern day case of stolen identity in the form of online impersonalization. Belief in God, religions, what truly constitutes a person – all approached with humor and intellect as told by a flawed and vulnerable dentist trying to reconcile who he truly is.
