The best book I read this decade. -Sharon Van Etten in Rolling Stone

"Boy Swallows Universe hypnotizes you with wonder, and then hammers you with heartbreak. . . . Eli's remarkably poetic voice and his astonishingly open heart take the day. They enable him to carve out the best of what's possible from the worst of what is, which is the miracle that makes this novel marvelous." -Washington Post

A thrilling (New York Times Book Review) novel of love, crime, magic, fate and a boy's coming of age in 1980s Australia, named one of the best literary fiction titles of 2019 by Library Journal.

Eli Bell's life is complicated. His father is lost, his mother is in jail, and his stepdad is a heroin dealer. The most steadfast adult in Eli's life is Slim--a notorious felon and national record-holder for successful prison escapes--who watches over Eli and August, his silent genius of an older brother.

Exiled far from the rest of the world in Darra, a neglected suburb populated by Polish and Vietnamese refugees, this twelve-year-old boy with an old soul and an adult mind is just trying to follow his heart, learn what it takes to be a good man, and train for a glamorous career in journalism. Life, however, insists on throwing obstacles in Eli's path--most notably Tytus Broz, Brisbane's legendary drug dealer.

But the real trouble lies ahead. Eli is about to fall in love, face off against truly bad guys, and fight to save his mother from a certain doom--all before starting high school.

A story of brotherhood, true love, family, and the most unlikely of friendships, Boy Swallows Universe is the tale of an adolescent boy on the cusp of discovering the man he will be. Powerful and kinetic, Trent Dalton's debut is sure to be one of the most heartbreaking, joyous and exhilarating novels you will experience.

Great for my workshop
Size: 10 Outlet
So I love these long strips. There's a few companies that make these but when I saw the individual power switches on this for each outlet, I thought this would be great for my workshop desk. Now I can know for sure that the power is off to a particular device and I don't have to go plugging in and unplugging to be safe. Just hit the switch. I also like that there are plenty of outlets so I don't have to unplug something just to plug something else in. I don't often use all the devices at the same time so this works out perfectly for me.

I need more of these
Size: 6FT, Style: 1 Pack
I recently picked up the HHSOET Rotating Mountable Power Strip to tame the chaos of cords in my home office, and I’ve got to say, it’s been a fantastic addition. With 12 outlets, a sleek black metal design, and a clever rotating feature, this thing delivers both function and style in spades. Right out of the box, the build quality impressed me. The all-metal construction feels rugged and durable—definitely a step above those flimsy plastic power strips I’ve used in the past. It’s got a solid heft to it, which gives me confidence it’ll hold up under daily use, whether I’m plugging in my laptop, monitors, or a slew of chargers. The black finish adds a stylish touch, blending seamlessly with my setup instead of sticking out like an eyesore. The standout feature for me is the 360-degree rotating design. I mounted it under my desk using the included screws (super easy install, by the way), and being able to swivel the outlets to the perfect angle made cable management a breeze. Whether I needed the plugs facing forward for easy access or tucked back to keep things tidy, this power strip adapted effortlessly. It’s such a smart touch for a versatile setup—great for everything from a gaming rig to a workshop bench. With 12 outlets, I’ve got more than enough space for all my gear. The spacing isn’t super wide, so bulky adapters might block neighboring slots, but I managed to fit my essentials without too much hassle. The 6-foot power cord is a nice length—long enough to reach my wall outlet without needing an extension, but not so long that it’s a tangled mess. Plus, the built-in 1200-joule surge protector gives me peace of mind, knowing my pricey electronics are safe from power spikes. The on/off switch is another handy perk. It’s got a satisfying click and a light to show when it’s powered, making it easy to cut power to everything at once without unplugging a single cord. I’ve found it especially useful for saving energy when I’m done for the day. There are a couple of small quirks. The outlets are a bit close together, so if you’ve got a lot of oversized plugs, you might not use all 12 spots. Also, while the metal body looks great, it’s a fingerprint magnet—nothing a quick wipe won’t fix, though. Mounting was straightforward, but I’d recommend double-checking your surface; the included screws worked fine on wood, but drywall might need anchors. All in all, the HHSOET Rotating Mountable Power Strip is a sturdy, stylish, and versatile solution for anyone juggling multiple devices. It’s transformed my cluttered desk into a clean, organized workspace. If you’re looking for a heavy-duty power strip that doesn’t compromise on looks or utility, this one’s a winner.

Good power strip for under-desk mount.
Size: 6FT, Style: 1 Pack
Affordable power strip. 12 plugs. Good build quality. It says "Surge Protector" in the product description, but without actually taking it apart, I don't actually think there's a surge protector or anything built in - there's no breaker/reset button, which is usually the giveaway for that. Also, no USB charge ports or any extras like that. The plugs aren't only spaced the normal width apart - you won't get many wall-wart style power supplies connected with this. That should be obvious from the product images but I figured I'd mention it. You can get little 8-12" pigtail M/F power cables for cheap that address that problem, though. Easy to attach to underside of desk with included brackets. They're through-hole, not that weird slot/key thing, which is a plus, IMHO. (The last power strip had used those, and after it fell off a few times, I jut gave up and it lived on the floor. This won't do that.) The brackets are visible in the produce images, but come screwed on in reverse - you have to unscrew and flip them before you have the tabs to attach things. I assume that's what "rotating" means in the product description. It makes sense - the product package can be a couple inches shorter and most people presumably don't use the clips anyway. I just think it's great they're there if you need them. Getting all the cords up off the floor makes it a lot easier to sweep or vacuum under the desk, and a lot hard for cats to disturb things. Satisfied customer here!

Solid, well-made product. I like that you can rotate-to-mount for different situations.
Size: 6FT, Style: 1 Pack
Heavy-duty chord, heavy-duty sockets, heavy-duty metal frame. Works well, and I like the lighted on/off switch. Being able to rotate and mount however needed makes it versatile. As clearly illustrated in the product description, the sockets are *really* close to each other, but that perfectly met my needs - but look for alternatives if you plan to plug in wall-warts and other space-consuming devices.

Before Mounting, Re-look at the photos for bracket position to save frustration!
Size: 3FT, Style: 1 Pack
Good, solid quality feel, fit and finish... BUT, as other comments indicate, the brackets can be confusing. They come positioned inward for compact fit in the box. Remove the mounting screw from the end, then SLIDE the bracket off, position the L-shape away from the strip for mounting and re-insert the power strip. Others mentioned lack of a tool for bracket removal but none is needed, they simply slide off (they don't rotate while seated). I (and others, per the comments) envisioned it mounted with brackets turned inward (as they came in the box) but doing that puts a screw head in the way of fully seating the unit into the bracket with misaligned mounting screw holes. Came back to this ad to look at the pictures and VIOLA -- set the brackets outward and screw holes align for perfect fit! Quite honestly, made me feel like a chimpanzee given a simple puzzle to solve, and I FAILED the test until looking at the pictures! Reading the reviews made me feel a little better, seeing I'm not the only one!! All that said, this power strip provides great bang for the buck. I'm using it to power my desktop computer with a three-monitor display and external storage drives.
