Down on Backwards Trail by Ryan Trevor is a fascinating book that immerses us into the world of Ryan and his life from childhood. It also takes us through the challenges he faced as a young adult.

Ryan was a young boy who seemed to have caused a lot of trouble, one of which he was sent to England to live with his uncle and his wife. At first, he was scared; leaving his home and traveling to another country to stay with people he did not know looked scary to him. But soon after, he learned to settle down and become adapted. Things began to change when his uncle's wife, Aunt Marg, died. He was heartbroken, just like his uncle. After the death of his aunt, his uncle had some news for him. He was told that he would return to his parents in California. Seeing that his family had abandoned him and sent him to England, would he agree to return? If so, what new life awaits him? Why not read and find out.

The book is a captivating story about the author's early life. The places he traveled to, the challenges he faced, and the relatable experience he had stimulated me down to the end. It is undoubtedly an exciting book that is very balanced, making readers turn every page.

What I love about the book is its plot. The plot and setting were well-developed, filled with gorgeous descriptions and well-crafted dialogues. While reading the story, I started to like Ryan, the main character in the book. I could feel what he went through as a child and his mistakes while growing up. I also love Kennett, Ryan's dad. He did well in trying to protect his child, but he crossed the boundaries most times. For example, the restrictions he gave Ryan were unbearable, and he always made sure the boy lived up to his standards and always did what he liked. I also love how the book started. Chapter One started with how Ryan's grandparents met, then chapter two and chapter three talked about how his parents met and married and how they gave birth to his younger brother, Edgar. All these were told in detail, and I love it.

There was nothing to dislike in the book. Everything seemed to suit my desire and preferences. Based on my reading experience and the absence of multiple errors, I will gladly award this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book was still professionally edited with a few errors.

I want to recommend this book to adolescents and adults who love and are captivated by a unique kind of fiction book with a little bit of suspense.
