Into the Current

Daniel Solomon is not having a good day. Somewhere between Bangkok and Tokyo, zipping through the stratosphere, the jetliner on which he's travelling cracks open like an egg, ejecting Daniel and his fellow passengers into the great blue sky.

If only that were the worst of it.


Thousands of feet above the merciless Earth, still strapped into his seat, his cherished comics fluttering away like freed parrots, Daniel finds out what it means to have your life flash before your eyes.


Time stops, the wreckage of the plane freezes in place, postponing the inevitable end, and Daniel finds that he can transport himself back into his past. Re-experiencing his memories in real time, but helpless to change the present, he plunges into the detritus of his all-but-concluded life.


In this daring and often hilarious novel, Jared Young defies the laws of physics and the conventions of narrative to explore the twists and turns of great sex and bad decisions, chance and grand design, and the moments of truth that can turn disaster into a mere interruption on the horizon.

Into the Current

The book Into the Current by Jared Young starts off with the main character Daniel Solomon on a plane, which suddenly breaks apart in mid air. He stays strapped in his seat suspended above South East Asia when time stops and everything around him freezes in place. Daniel soon discovers he now has the ability to re-experience his memories, and the reader is transported through the whirlwind of recollections that makes up his life.

The prologue was so intriguing! It captured my attention from the get go! I love the way that he’s not only telling the story, but he’s telling it like he’s simply speaking to someone in a conversation. It’s something that I’ve never seen done in a book before. It was confusing for the first little while, but after a few chapters it made a lot more sense.

The plot in this book is so interesting! A plane ‘crash’ off the bat, and now time travelling through memories, and re-experiencing them in first person, so strange, yet so interesting! It was difficult to put down! I also love the ending to this book, it’s one of the endings that makes you feel so many emotions at once. The best part was that I wasn’t expecting it at all, yet, it was so so fitting.

Overall, the book was very well written, and I’ve never read anything like it before!
---------------------------
Le livre Into the Current de Jared Young dĂ©bute avec le personnage principal Daniel Solomon dans un avion, qui se brise soudainement en plein vol. Il reste attachĂ© Ă  son siĂšge suspendu au-dessus de l’Asie du Sud-Est lorsque le temps s’arrĂȘte et que tout ce qui l’entoure gĂšle en place. Daniel dĂ©couvre bientĂŽt qu’il a maintenant la capacitĂ© de revivre ses souvenirs, et le lecteur est transportĂ© Ă  travers le tourbillon de souvenirs qui compose sa vie.

Le prologue Ă©tait tellement intrigant! Il a attirĂ© mon attention dĂšs le dĂ©part! J’aime la façon dont il raconte non seulement l’histoire, mais il la raconte comme s’il parlait simplement Ă  quelqu’un dans une conversation. C’est quelque chose que je n’ai jamais vu dans un livre. C’était dĂ©routant pour les premiers temps, mais aprĂšs quelques chapitres, c’était beaucoup plus logique.

L’intrigue dans ce livre est si intĂ©ressante! Un avion qui s’écrase, et maintenant le temps de voyager Ă  travers les souvenirs, et de les revivre Ă  la premiĂšre personne, si Ă©trange, mais si intĂ©ressant! C’était difficile Ă  avaler ! J’aime aussi la fin de ce livre, c’est une des fins qui vous fait ressentir tant d’émotions Ă  la fois. Le mieux, c’est que je ne m’y attendais pas du tout.

Dans l’ensemble, le livre Ă©tait trĂšs bien Ă©crit, et je n’ai jamais rien lu de tel avant!

I recommend this book.
