The best book I read this decade. -Sharon Van Etten in Rolling Stone

"Boy Swallows Universe hypnotizes you with wonder, and then hammers you with heartbreak. . . . Eli's remarkably poetic voice and his astonishingly open heart take the day. They enable him to carve out the best of what's possible from the worst of what is, which is the miracle that makes this novel marvelous." -Washington Post

A thrilling (New York Times Book Review) novel of love, crime, magic, fate and a boy's coming of age in 1980s Australia, named one of the best literary fiction titles of 2019 by Library Journal.

Eli Bell's life is complicated. His father is lost, his mother is in jail, and his stepdad is a heroin dealer. The most steadfast adult in Eli's life is Slim--a notorious felon and national record-holder for successful prison escapes--who watches over Eli and August, his silent genius of an older brother.

Exiled far from the rest of the world in Darra, a neglected suburb populated by Polish and Vietnamese refugees, this twelve-year-old boy with an old soul and an adult mind is just trying to follow his heart, learn what it takes to be a good man, and train for a glamorous career in journalism. Life, however, insists on throwing obstacles in Eli's path--most notably Tytus Broz, Brisbane's legendary drug dealer.

But the real trouble lies ahead. Eli is about to fall in love, face off against truly bad guys, and fight to save his mother from a certain doom--all before starting high school.

A story of brotherhood, true love, family, and the most unlikely of friendships, Boy Swallows Universe is the tale of an adolescent boy on the cusp of discovering the man he will be. Powerful and kinetic, Trent Dalton's debut is sure to be one of the most heartbreaking, joyous and exhilarating novels you will experience.

Not bad but read my full review if you are experimenting with different brands
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
So I am middle of the road on this product. First, I love the products from this brand and use some of their other products quite regularly. I was on a search for an alternative to the Crew Forming Cream (which I have used for maybe 20 years) and decided to purchase this product by Huron as well as the much cheaper medium hold styling cream by Cremo. All three are great products but you will need to decide for yourself how much hold you need as I have discovered that each are quite different and really shouldn't be compared to one another. I will say that if I had to put them all into two categories then Crew is heavy hold and Huron and Cremo is medium / light hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that the cheaper of the three, Cremo, would win me over but it has. For the record it has a very subtle scent (hardly noticable), just enough hold and does not leave you feeling like you have product in your hair. This is similar to Huron as well (although Huron is a very creamy in texture and you can tell its a higher quality product) but at the end of the day all that matters is great hold from a product that is affordable and does not leave a sticky texture in your hair. Cremo wins hands down. As for Crew, well it was a good ride but too expensive and way too heavy...time to move on.

So lightweight. Perfect for extra thick hair.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Its almost mousse like in how light weight it is and smells fantastic. I wanted something just above light weight hold and not weigh my thick hair down and this does a great job. A little pricey but SO much better than the usual store brands out there. And my wife is totally in love with how great it smells when I put it on, so bonus!

Smells good and doesn’t feel greasy
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Product didn’t leave a greasy feeling to the hands or the hair. Kept hold all day for my hair style but I knew it was light hold going in. It has a great scent

Faithful to the soap's original scent
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
I love the Huron Original Citrus + Eucalyptus bar soap so much, I started looking at the cologne from the same company. I collect (too many) fragrances, and love having different scents to choose from depending on the day and occasion. I have plenty of warmer scents, but not enough freshies that I really like. After reading other reviews here on Amazon, I figured this was a safe bet. And I was right! Performance is great. I use it on my skin only (because I only really want my wife and I smelling me...not everyone else who I walk by). It lasts me 8+ hours easily. And the fragrance is true to the original scent I know from Huron's soap. Exactly what I wanted. It's a very fair price for a cologne that performs this well, and I can wear it anywhere for any purpose, very versatile. The bottle is nice and the atomizer is strong and even.

Breathe in my essence and remember me!
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
Alright, listen up, because I’m about to let you in on the best-kept secret in men’s fragrance. This right here—Huron Eau de Parfum—is not just a cologne. Oh no, this is a power move in a bottle. You spritz this on, and it’s like stepping into a world where you’ve just conquered a mountain, tamed a wild stallion, and shaken hands with destiny. Crisp citrus, fresh eucalyptus, a hint of mint, and aromatic greens—it’s like Mother Nature whipped up a scent just for men who are ready to take on the world. We’re talking about a cologne that’s refreshing enough to wake you up better than a cold shower and bold enough to say, “Yeah, I’m here. And I smell damn fantastic.” And here’s the kicker: this stuff is long-lasting. None of that “spray it in the morning, gone by lunchtime” nonsense. No, this baby’s got stamina—just like any real champion should. You’ll still be smelling like a million bucks well after the day is done. And let’s not forget the ingredients: safe, clean, the kind of stuff that says, “I care about what I’m putting on my skin because I’m a class act.” So if you’re looking for a fragrance that says champion, look no further. Huron Eau de Parfum is that fresh, invigorating smell of victory bottled up just for you. Five stars. Because this is for men who don’t just live life—they dominate it.
