``The Tales of Tim Hurtletuta- New Beginnings`` was without a doubt an interesting read. I wasn`t sure what to expect when I started reading and Matthew James Wilkins took the novel in a very different direction than I had initially anticipated. I thought that perhaps this was a story about a junior high or young high school-aged boy experiencing love for the first time and finding his way through school`s difficult social scene. We`ve all had friends like Rowen, a first love like Ginni, and dealt with bullies like Guy, but this was so much more. That was all the beginning.The reader follows Tim as he makes his way through life trying to figure himself out and figure out what this, the human experience, is all about. Although I did not agree with Tim on everything, he was certainly a very identifiable character. There is a little bit of Tim in all of us, whether it`s accumulating too many useless possessions, moving through life without living, working at an unfufilling job, and so on. This was a spiritual, psychological read and was a very refreshing break from everything. I am looking forward to Wilkins` next addition to Tim`s tales.
