PDF The balladeer synonym The story pace is steady even with the frequent time jumps Bobby comes home and remembers the love of his parents I think that in grief sometimes people forget that there others who also are suffering It was so sad that he didn t get a change to see his mother again I was glad that Bobby got a happy ending and also reconnected with his father Overall good read for anyone who likes a stories of personal growth in a historical setting 263 In the opening pages of this book you really get a shock A young boy watches his brother die and it alludes to the fact that he could have prevented it Of course after that moment he is unable to forget what he witnessed and it changes his life dramatically It is the main reason why he runs away as soon as possible at which time the book really starts to get amusing My favorite part is the ballads that are written throughout the book which can be described as deep moving and sad The ballads explain who he is and what happened to him and they also tell you how Bobby feels about himself When he finally decides to confront the past it ends up surprising you and you will have no choice but to keep reading This novel is genuine and is something that is different from the norm 263 In The Balladeer the author does a great job of interweaving the past and the present The end result is a story that is compelling and comes with its own share of twists and turns along the way I often find narrative structures like this one to be a little hard to follow but I didn t have any problems with The Balladeer which is another thing that really made the book enjoyable for me. Book The balladeer genshin The thing that always gets me about stories like this is that they are as much about the theme as they are about the actual events and details There were so many important themes in this particular story especially concepts of forgiveness and learning to move forward Even though the subject matter of the story was complex and dark at times I still found myself enjoying the read and I would recommend it to others 263 A different storyIt was one of tragedy and heart warming The story was a bit disjointed for me as it kept going back to events years past A common practice but to much in this novel 263
