Review - The Rest is Illusion


The Rest is Illusion
By: Eric Arvin
PUBLISHED BY: Young Offenders Media
PUBLISHED IN: 2010
ISBN: 0984510907
Pages: 188

“The Rest is Illusion” is told from the point of view of the main character (Dash) who is a dying protagonist. Dash is an openly gay college student with a dangerous disease that has already claimed his father.

While Dash still has time, he tries to help his friends, Ashley, Sarah and Tony with their own problems. He tries to save their lives, but he can’t save his own.

At times this book was difficult to read. There is no happily ever after here. This is a dark college story about hope, and it has a hidden spiritual message. “The Rest is Illusion” is an emotional haunting novel.
