- W2893800692 abstract "Reviewed by: Unstoppable Moses by Tyler James Smith Wesley Jacques Smith, Tyler James Unstoppable Moses. Flatiron, 2018 [352p] Trade ed. ISBN 978-1-250-13854-5 $17.99 E-book ed. ISBN 978-1-250-13853-8 $9.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad Gr. 7-10 When they were eight, Moses was shot by his cousin Charlie and revived unscathed after being declared dead. In the aftermath, troublemaking Charlie sought to take advantage of Moses's apparent invincibility, but a fiery prank at a local bowling alley goes too far and leads to Charlie's being shot in the head by a police officer. The incident comes to define Moses, making him a bit of a celebrity throughout the Chicago suburbs, so he finds some welcomed anonymity in his mandated community service as a camp counselor. With a new group of ne'er-do-well teen friends and a precocious young camper nicknamed Lump under his watch, Moses is distracted enough from his self-pitying to realize how toxic his cousin/best friend truly was. As a narrator bouncing between events of the past and the present, Moses isn't shy about proclaiming his intelligence, but, just like the superfluous footnotes throughout the novel, he regularly misses the mark on poignant and lands uncomfortably [End Page 93] on pretentious. In fact, when the thorny past of his new friends resurfaces and Lump runs away to save a baby deer, Moses ends up as the least interesting character and perhaps the least equipped to address his own issues. The gun violence, trauma, and loss that saturate its pages sit uneasily with the hackneyed tropes of rebellious teenage angst and a know-it-all protagonist. Still, the brutal realism of Smith's writing is palpable, and it allows for a number of stirring moments. WJ Copyright © 2018 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois" @default.
