Truancy Origins A Novel Isamu Fukui Books

Awesome book. I read Truancy whenever it came out and was blown away by the book which says a lot coming from me since I read constantly and have become extremely picky and critical of authors. When I went back to the bookstore when I finished it, I was sad to find nothing else by the author and periodically checked for new pieces so when this book came out I snatched it right away and it was definetly worth it! The author did an amazing job letting the readers discover the Origins of the City and all of the problems. 5 stars!

Truancy Origins A Novel Isamu Fukui Books Reviews

Everybody always talks about Paolini being the most amazing teen author. I have to disagree. I believe Fukui has the most amazing ability I've ever read. His use of words pulls you in, drawing you deeper into the book. The action is detailed, the plot intricate, the feelings real. This is by far one of my favorite books, and I recommend it to everybody!
This is the prequel to Truancy, and I have to say that not many writers can make a page turner out of a prequel. Even though fans of the first know exactly how this one ends, you still need to know the road taken there. Without giving anything away, this is a series that needs to be put in schools more, especially considering that is main subject matter. Maybe teachers are afraid to let this kind of reading "infect" their students, but that's the kind of close mindedness that allowed the City to be formed in the first place! Give this a read and then tell your friends to pick it up too.
The author, Isamu Fukui, is an 18 year old senior at Stuyvesant High in NYC; already he is a better writer than many professionals two and three times his age. Truancy Origins is the prequel for Fukui's first book, Truancy, which he wrote when he himself was 15. His books are a revenge commentary on plutocracies, school systems and teenage existence.
Illegitimate twin boys, Umasi and Zen, are deposited on the figurative doorstep of the Mayor of Education City by their half-sister, who hates the very fact of their existence. The Mayor is paid off to raise them as his own, keep them out of the way, and out of trouble. But trouble just won't leave the brothers alone and they respond in kind.
At age 15, Umasi is the bookworm whom bullies love to corner and fellow-students despise as a "suck-up." Zen is his opposite popular, charismatic, a dangerous fighter and indifferent student. The turning point comes in Chapter 6, when Umasi challenges their teacher's pronouncements in class, after she informs her students that albino children are unsuited for academics, and therefore unfit to live. By his defiance, Umasi gains unlooked-for status with his classmates, and he begins to realize the depths of his fury with the system and the lengths he will go to in order to effect a change.
Both brothers end up in full-throttle rebellion, but in opposite ways, and violence flares throughout Education City as Truant students and adult Enforcers fight turf wars to control minds and hearts.
I am truly amazed that TOR Teen did not provide a serious editing of this book. While I love the idea, and there were times that I was totally engrossed in the world of this story, too many times the uneven writing yanked me of the story and annoyed me. For example
The school building itself was made out of reddish bricks and seemed to have been literally styled after a prison. The few windows of the school were tiny, rectangular panes cut infrequently into the sheer brick face. The building's sole concession to flashiness was right above the plain main doors of the school…"

This would be fine in an early draft of the story-but it should never have reached publication in such a state.
Fukui is a talented young writer; I just hope he finds an editor who is equally talented.
This is a great book. Not the same story rewritten a hundred times. I recommend this book to people who want to read a book that's exciting and edge of the seat material.
