Growing up is hard enough without the added pressure of a hiccup in the fabric of space-time.
Wally Roux is a teenage genius with a big imagination and a big heart, who just moved to Savannah, GA, from Maine with his mom, who adopted him when he was an infant. In this charming and sweet solo performance, Wally investigates what is causing a number of strange events and occurrences. He explores and gets lost within space-time - an infinite, indefinable, and mysterious void that you can’t see but when you slice into it you can feel it.
Part science fiction and part coming-of-age story, Wally Roux follows one boy’s journey of self-discovery and self-identity.

It also felt a little... unfinished. Would have liked to hear more about Wally.
Performance was awesome. I look forward to hearing more read by Mr Harper.
Could have been just as good

Example: I do NOT need to hear the sound of someone chewing with their mouth open in order to envision the scene. I can picture that sound well enough in my head already, thank you.
Good story, great narration, but TOO MUCH NOISE

Laughed, laughed some more, thought really hard, and felt my heart swell

Despite what you think...

The overall story was good. It was entertaining enough to find a smile cross my face in several places, intellectual enough to keep my focus. I wish there was a bit more hard science included. That omission was a little disappointing.
I saw a video featuring Nick and William. Nick said the book was about finding your identity. I didn’t get that message. The message I heard was “Think critically.” I liked the writing. I may look for future works by Nick.
William did a good job narrating. It was a bit halting in many places, but as he was voicing a 13 yr old, I think it fit the character.
Good, but too much foul language

The race thing, is always there, but not always front and center. The story does not preach at you on that topic... there plenty of other stories to do that. This story transcends petty bigotry. Instead the message here is to be yourself, an individual, regardless of the idiots around you trying to make you be like them.
The story speaks to all of us and particularly to all teens going through discovering who they are and who they want to become.
Well done and recommended.

Think of this as a 1 act play and you may enjoy it more.
It does get better halfway in as it is clear that this piece is not really about quantum theory and other than as a source of arrogance, it is not really about science. So the weak support of either doesn't matter. It's not even really about portraying disdain for various stereotypical Christian archetypes. Nor even is it really about racism is various forms. That's why people say it just ended in the middle of the story. It wasn't about the story.
It ended when it completed the statement being made. The piece is about looking at what is and is not and accepting the good and the bad. At least I think so. I'm not going to give it a relisten just to be sure.
I read things too literally and also think that swearing triggering laughter is a pavlovian response. So I didn't find it funny at all. I think I laughed at one thing.
I was repeatedly impressed by the post-production value. I even jumped back when walking once when a raspy sound appeared to come from down and to the right where I was about to step.
The narrator was phenomenal.
Acceptable if viewed as a statement not a story
