you've captured the essence of what makes this premise so compelling. It's a testament to the ability of storytelling to take even the most mundane elements and transform them into something truly captivating.

This is an engaging story centred in a realistic setting with elements of the supernatural being peppered in to start with. It's a conversational style and I like the illustrations at the start of each chapter.

I can only imagine Terrence explaining to his friends about the bowling ball bombing being a real thing. The book's flow helps in portraying these thoughts clearly. Congrats on BOTD!

Teenager school room novel starts with asking the classmate to stop throwing textbooks down the toilet then unravels with the aftermath of the bowling ball bombings. Book 1 in the book series.
Congratulations on being BOTD

With a title like Beyond the Bowling Ball Bombing, this book is bound to be interesting. Your review gives a very nice overview of what this book is about and the audience it caters to. You have really sold me on this just based on the plotline. I am impressed that you actually discussed the fact that you did not like the whole chapter that describes a piece of technology. Despite that, you still gave it a 4 out of 4, and that is impressive in itself. I did notice, however, that you did not mention anything about the editing of this book. I am assuming that based on your score, there were not that many errors and that this book was professionally edited. Overall, this was a great review and I will be adding this title to the TBR list!

The BOTD features a student who is bullied find a puzzle box that predicts his demise by a bowling ball. The story sounds similar to a television show called Dead Like Me, though they used a toilet instead. Nice review.

The book sounds really engaging. Terrance got himself quite an adventure going a long way from a bully victim to a school celebrity to a time traveller. It will be interesting to read the book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

"Beyond the Bowling Ball Bombing" by Kordel Lentine is a time travel novel about Terrance Brown. The author employed a conventional style, and I think that is suitable for the book's audience. Congrats on BOTD. Nice review.

A humorous sci-fi with suspense and a mystery to solve. I like time travel stories. I'd like to give this book a read. I wanna know who or what was responsible for this falling bowling ball and the puzzle box. This captivating series would be an engaging read for sci-fi enthusiast. Thank you for a nice review.

Sounds like an interesting time-travel adventure. I wonder how Terrance deals with these mysteries on top of the struggles of high school. Thanks for your review!
