Boy in paradise Print E-mail
Written by Sydney Boyd - Argonaut   
Tuesday, 15 April 2008

Every now and then, a book comes out that is simply exquisitely written.
To try and describe the incandescence of reading UI Coordinator of the Creative Writing Program Brandon Schrand’s recently published book, “The Enders Hotel: A Memoir,” would be like describing snow to people who have lived in a desert their whole lives.
Even though most will read this book silently, the diction Schrand used still wants to be sounded out and seems to roll around in the reader’s mouth and then melt like a good piece of chocolate.


It reads clearly, without frills or gimmicks and tells the unique story of a boy growing up in his version of paradise.
It’s straightforward, clean cut and yet still remains rich in description, sending the reader into scenes of the book as though they were standing there next to Schrand.


One could either write on for pages or narrow it down to the important thing: this book is simply excellent.
There will always be more to say about this book, but why waste your reading time?
“The Enders Hotel: A Memoir” is worth it to invest one’s eyes and time on.
The book is remarkable and readers will walk away a better person.
