Book Review: The Fearsome Particles by Trevor Cole

"The world moves randomly, the survivors are the ones who go along," says Kyle, quoting the soldier he admired when he was in Asia. It's a feeling everyone has felt in moments of disappointment, disillusionment, despair. Through his characters, Cole questions the validity of the idea, of whether a family can really be alive inside a home with all the windows sealed shut. Where you can't really see the world. Or where you just go along with it. He doesn't offer any answers, but it's the questioning itself, maybe, that makes us human. It's nice to know that we're not alone in our miseries, especially when we can laugh about them along the way.
