Breaking Young Divinities is a candid and spiritual coming-of-age tale about a boy who grows up in the housing projects of 1980s Toronto and comes to grips with young adulthood in the 1990s.

He lives a sheltered childhood until high school, where he meets Jen, a mysteriously troubled young woman. She introduces him to his first tastes of passion, adventure, and sex.

In one tragic night, his world is turned upside down by an event that sends him on a misguided quest to come to terms with the world, with the God that he feels has abandoned him, and with the limitations of being human.

Gracefully gritty and as real as life itself.

'Breaking Young Divinities' begins like a sun-drenched summer morning...warm, inviting, beckoning you to come out and play. The young characters draw you into their adventures and, as you race between the buildings of the housing projects they call home, it is easy to overlook the moments when the darker side of reality is revealed. However, it is impossible to ignore such moments completely (they seem to scratch at your soul even if you wish they could be forgotten) and, as the main character emerges into young adulthood, they swiftly unite to shatter the buoyancy of his youth and plunge him into a heartbreakingly honest quest to make sense of the world that swirls about him. I found myself unable to resist turning the pages of this book, as though I couldn't exhale until I knew where the main character's journey through the raw grittiness of his new reality would take him. It is also hard to believe that Talbot's characters are imagined and not real as they each seem to resonate as realistically as that dream you awaken from and can hardly believe you didn't just live. In all, this book was immensely captivating and, like life itself, at times both overwhelmingly bleak and beautiful.

Pondering the Great Questions of Life...

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 15 luglio 2013

Acquisto verificato

This book is a must read for anyone who grew up in less than advantageous circumstances. It is a coming of age tale that is depicted in downtown Toronto housing projects beginning in the 80's. It is written from the perspective of a bright and intelligent but naive and somewhat introspective young boy who questions life and jumps feet first into some situations that are beyond his years. The author writes cleverly and poetically and at times is quite edgy as he takes the reader on adventures with him by providing imagery that is so detailed it paints pictures of his years from playground mischief to University and finally in to Institutions all the while letting you right into his mind.

There is sarcasm and humour, as well as unexpected plot twists throughout the book. There is also adult content involving drug use and sex, so I would recommend this book to the more mature reader. It is definitely recommended to anyone who faced challenges growing up or anyone who questions the world in which we live and seeks intelligent answers to the ways of humanity will appreciate this book.

I liked this book so much I would like to see it worked in to the High School curriculum for grade 12 English. It is also a great read for those whom like to self-reflect.
