Read This! Buckyball Techno Trance Fueled Novel

BUCKYBALL receives great review at http://www.ebookitreviews.com/?p=640

Hi. My name is Fabien and I've passed the age of the rave but still can't listen to anything else but electronic music. I was introduced to the whole scene almost twelve years ago when I lived in south Florida.

I actually wrote a book, a novel about college grads who time travel every time they listen to El Nino off of Oakenfold's 1998 Tranceport because of the Buckyballs they took.

Latest review, January 3rd on Amazon from Diane... I really enjoyed this book. It takes you back to your twenties, hanging out with your friends and going clubbing. I had friends like these that acted that way. The book gets you all comfortable and then there is the twist. Wow. Not what I expected. I'd call it a Sci-Fi/urban fantasy if I had to put a label on it. Not easy to pin down. I think most anyone would enjoy reading along as the story unfolds. I love that the author shows the main character grow up and change and then change again. It's interesting picking up on the hints and clues along with the main character so you figure out what the heck is happening. There are lots of characters but there is also plenty of information about them so they don't all blend together. You get to know them and like them.
It was great to read something a little different. Highly recommend it.

I received a copy of the book from the author with a request for a review. It's one of the best books I read in 2011.

I am looking for readers trying to break the underdog barrier associated with self published pariahs. Help me make Buckyball into a success story and be the first to read and rave about it. It's a great read and I have E Book copies I can send if you send me a P.M. or write to me at lokisarrows@gmail.com

Have a great night , dance as if no one is watching and trust the music.

Brief synopsis:
Buckyball is a first person narrative. James Pissola tells the story of how one night of partying with his best friend in South Beach changed his life. Listening to a specific song always transports him back to the same time and place, which happens to be the Miamillennium nightclub in Miami. These flashback moments are called life-turns and James claims to have lived over one hundred and seventy-one of them, some lasting between 13 and 26 years.

I don't want to sound rude or anything but I'm not sure I believe in the potential of a story written by a self-published author who is introduced to a seen where Paul Oakenfold is a favourite.

It is only that he has scene a great deal more than that.

Random fact: What we in Australia call a "ute" (short for utility vehicle), they refer to as a "bucky" in South Africa.

Its Bakkie, from the Dutch 'bak' (tray), though its pronunciation tends to be twice-removed and then mangled by Afrikaner's

Hahaha, well shit. The guys I know really aren't Afrikaners. I'm Australian though, so it's likely just the pronunciation fuck-up on my part.

I got heaps of shit when they took me to a guys b'day party. His name was "Johan". I'm not stupid, I know the 'J' is pronounced as a 'Y'. So they all LOL'd at me saying "Yo-han" with my accent. Should have been more like "Yohn", apparently.

Thankfully he wasn't offended
