Boy Swallows Universe TV Series Review
Highly regarded by many, Trent Dalton’s international bestselling novel Boy Swallows Universe was recently transformed into a mini-TV series on Netflix. For those who have read the beloved book, many will jump at the chance to compare the show with the novel. Dealing with two completely different art mediums prove it difficult to make comparisons beyond the plot of the story. The novel deals with inner dialogue, intricate descriptions, and relies heavily on the readers imagination, whereas the show utilises visual storytelling and rich soundscapes to emerge the viewer into the world of the protagonist, Eli Bell, played by Felix Cameron.
