Book Review

Hello, Buddies! This is my first blog as a book reviewer. So without wasting time let's go further on. 

THE BOOK REVIEW!

The author of the book is:- 

Bewilderment – Richard Powers

AN OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB SELECTION.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller.

Shortlisted for the 2021 Booker Prize.

Longlisted for the 2021 National Book Award for Fiction.

A heartrending new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Overstory.

The astrobiologist Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while single-handedly raising his unusual nine-year-old, Robin, following the death of his wife. Robin is a warm, kind boy who spends hours painting elaborate pictures of endangered animals. He’s also about to be expelled from third grade for smashing his friend in the face. As his son grows more troubled, Theo hopes to keep him off psychoactive drugs. He learns of an experimental neurofeedback treatment to bolster Robin’s emotional control, one that involves training the boy on the recorded patterns of his mother’s brain…

With its soaring descriptions of the natural world, its tantalizing vision of a life beyond, and its account of a father and son’s ferocious love, Bewilderment marks Richard Powers’s most intimate and moving novel. At its heart lies the question: How can we tell our children the truth about this beautiful, imperilled planet?

Now, what are my Reactions?

 Is it interesting, memorable, entertaining, or instructive? Why?

It is interesting, kind of entertaining and memorable.

The novel is set in the near future amid the environmental deterioration of the planet. It follows widowed astrobiologist Theo Byrne and his volatile nine-year-old son Robin, who is diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Theo resists psychoactive medication for Robin, turning instead to an experimental neurofeedback therapy in order to help his son. In an interview for the Booker Prize, Powers said, "The book has its roots in two different worlds. It is, in part, a novel about the anxiety of family life on a damaged planet, and for that, I'm indebted to writers as varied as Margaret Atwood, Barbara Kingsolver, Evan Dara, Don Delillo, and Lauren Groff."
