For three blissful days I was totally lost in this hardcover edition, which is so unlike me, since my attention span with books ranges to 60 pages at most a day and finishing 400 in three days was impossible to me. I certainly wish more books could force into oblivion.

At first I was very reluctant to setting expectations as everybody knows Isamu Fukui is 17 years old and having had a huge disappointment in “Eragon”, also written by a teen, I had no idea what to expect. However I was not disappointed at all. The story is quite simple. The setting is an unnamed city, which is ruled by an unnamed Mayor in such a manner that turns people into obedient marionettes. This is all an experiment to create the perfect society. The school is the first step to shaping the City’s citizens into spineless humans, but as the system becomes unbearable, revolt is to be expected in the face of the Truancy, an organization of students that oppose the City’s rule.

Tack is the main protagonist to say so, even though there are other characters, who tell the story. He is an average student, who just wants to stay under the radar, until he meets Umasi, a skilled fighter pacifist, and starts training with him. The death of Tack’s sister by the Truant leader Zyid is the trigger that turns Tack into a fighter himself. In Order to avenge his sister Tack becomes a part of the Truancy and even escalates to the position of right hand assassin of Zyid. The plot of “Truancy” revolves around the newest, harshest stage of the war between Truancy and the Educators, who are run by the Mayor and have control over the City. The ending of the book shows a small scale apocalypse and a city lying in ruins.

I applaud Isamu for his great skill in characterization. The dialogue is superb in my own opinion and the protagonists’ points of view are distinguishable although a great deal of head hopping is established. However it’s good that Isamu keeps the cast of narrating characters tight. Each and every character has his or hers dramatic tale that connects them with the others and explains their motifs perfectly. If you have read Japanese manga or watched enough anime, you will definitely feel that specific vibe of nobility, epic drama and honor woven together. This method of storytelling is addictive and offers a lot more suspense for the reader. Another strength that I find is the visual approach to storytelling. I think that this is the literary equivalent to watching a great action movie and the descriptions of the combat scenes are simply mindboggling. Showing high speed motion in a written story is one of the hardest things to achieve and Isamu makes it look easy, too easy.

As conclusion I can simply point out that if you hate school, have hated school and haven’t lived long enough to realize that those were the best years in your life, than this book is for you. In my opinion Isamu has a very bright future ahead of him in the industry.(less)

This book is amazing!!!! It is one of my favorites! Written by seventeen year old Isamu Fukui, Truancy has some of the best characters, plots, and basically everything I've ever read! rebellion, romance, action, suspense, mystery, this book has everything! Like Voices I give it a six, though the stars can only go up to five... It's still six!

Because of the Educators tight grip on them and the natural desire to defy the norm that comes with being an adolescent, these students formed a rebellion group: The Truancy. The Truants had no other intention but to make the lives of the Educators a living hell.

Tack, a highschool student, is just going with the flow. He hates the Educators but he is not doing anything drastic about it other than sulking. He has no connection with the Truants, and in fact, he never heard of them. But one day, his dearest sister got killed in a battle between the Truants and the Educators. After mourning, he joins the Truancy with only one objective in mind: vengeance. Tack later found out that his plans wouldn’t be that easy to accomplish as he learned to sympathize with the Truants and become a valuable asset to them.

Isamu Fukui wrote this when he was sixteen, which is quite admirable. It is inevitable to compare him to Christopher Paolini, another author who wrote a book at that age. I had high hopes for both of them. I expected that being young and full of fresh ideas, they can offer something new and innovative in their writing. Sad to say, I’m disappointed on both accounts.

What I didn’t like the most in Truancy is the characters. I think the author controlled them too much. They are flawed and have their individual struggles, but I can see the strings that attached them to the author all throughout the novel. The characters’ actions and intentions were too big and ‘death-defying’ for their own good, resulting to slapstick characterization. I found it rather hard to connect to them and imagine them as real people — real students role-playing as rebellious thugs and gang leaders, maybe, but that’s besides the point. Often times they think or say something that is really unprecedented. For example, one character, Umasi, said, “I wonder if Zyid will find him[Tack] easier to control than I did.” There was never a point in the story before this dialogue did Umasi appeared as struggling to control Tack. Everything, including the ‘social commentary’, just felt too forced and too contrived.

Being someone who is always on the lookout for epic action scenes, I would have at least liked these kind of scenes Fukui wrote — I didn’t. These scenes were set at the most fantastic places. The fights happened at a library with books being thrown and cut into pieces by a sword, flowerbeds where their swords cuts the flowers causing the place to be heavily scented, and of course, the most used setting in action movies, the moving train. These settings of the fight scenes only sucked the believability out of these scenes. I wasn’t able to shake off the feeling that I was watching someone playing a video game.

Had I put the author’s age into consideration, maybe I ended up liking this. But I think that’s not fair. Once a book is published, it should take the reader into the author’s imagined world regardless of who wrote it. I was not convinced; therefore I am not a Truant.(less)

This book is a violent, hard hitting novel written by a 17-year-old author. The main character Tack hates school for very good reasons. In the functionally autocratic society of The City, school dictates every part of his life. Many of the problems that he comes up against in school exist to some degree in every school in the U.S. His coldly aloof parents are no comfort to him. Tack tries to succeed in school but it seems like the teachers and the system are out to get him at every turn. Being e...more

The goal of this world is to turn teenagers into obedient adults who do not questions authority; if teens revel they are expelled from the school system where they will not be allowed to live amongst the rest of the citizens and are sentenced to a life of wandering. However, the Mayor and the educators (disciplinary committee) are fighting their biggest foe called "The Truancy." What is even more humiliating, and astounding, is that the Truancy is a group of rebellious teens who are not only brilliant, but organized, brutal, and fearless. Tak knew nothing about the Truancy until he meets Umasi who not only enlightens, but secretly trains him to become a formidable foe. However, when Tak loses someone he loves dearly to all of the senseless violence and does something he never thought he would ever be able to do.

What is amazing about this book is not the fact that this book was written by a fifteen-year-old high school, it is the originality of the story. Fukui's story is frightening because not only could this happen, it is a grim reflection on how society views young adults. Moreover, this story also conveys how education is necessary for survival, especially if students are threatened with exile.The characters in this story, contrary to what the adults of this world believe, are not only intelligent, but incredibly sophisticated and mature where they are able to recognize injustices. However, what Fukui does manage to maintain is the authenticity of the teen character where he, or she, not only struggles with decision-making, but with emotions as well; Tak is stuck between a "rock and a hard place" when he witnesses the tactics of the Truancy and deciphering what is best for the greater good. Teens will have a lot to think about as they dive into this chaotic world featuring the classic battle of adults vs. children.(less)

First, I must acknowledge that yes, it is quite impressive that this book was written by a teenager. No, I will reassure you, that tidbit will not affect my review. Even things written by good friends of mine get completely honest reviews. There's not much that will spare you.

Truancy is the kind of book I detest the most: A book with wasted potential. Now, this book is by no means the worst example. But I will say that I was generous with the stars, simply because I quite liked the parts of the book that worked.

The first third of Truancy, Umasi's story arc, and the part near the end are good. Nice satire, fairly thought-provacative, and somewhat powerful. (Not extremely so, but enough) They focused on the escalating cycle of violence caused by two warring factions that cause far more innocent deaths the more they attempt to kill each other. The book blurs the line between righteous rebellion and terrorism, which I like. Also, the political views on the school system are fairly accurate. I remember that my sixth grade teacher sometimes gave me lower grades than others because I wasn't popular with her. The education system, it needs to be said, is not in a good state.

But the problem with what I mentioned is that the middle portion of the book is standard action movie material, complete with sword fights and pitched battles. Now, I don't mind action. It can be fun. But when there are about 250 pages separating action and material I would much rather be reading about, it understandably gets somewhat annoying. This is nitpicking as well, but the one-liners did get grating after a while. There's no need for back-and-forth banter if it doesn't have a purpose.

The characters themselves are memorable, Zyid and Umasi especially. The ending was quite nice, albeit the lesson didn't need to be explicitly stated, and was much better if it were implied. I guess the author wanted to make sure that people got it, but it came off as forced. The clincher for that three star rating is that the parts that worked did work quite well.(less)

Truancy is a story from a seventeen year olds imagination and boy what an imagination he has! It is essentially a post apocalyptic story with an unnamed City under the brutal regime of an unnamed Mayor who’s only ambition in life is to create a society of well trained slaves – the perfect society in his eyes. While most of the City’s students are obedient more and more have swayed and a group known as the Truancy has formed. It’s the Truancy’s endeavour to stop the Mayor and his regime by using whatever means it takes for they aren’t the type to shy away from violence. The central plot of this read is the war between the Truancy and the Mayor and his Educators (a group of loyal Mayor abiding teachers). It’s a war that is increasing becoming more brutal.

The main character is Tack, an average student who aims to finish school without too much attention; none at all if he can manage it. That is his ambition until he meets Umasi, a strange fellow living in an abandoned district that he quickly befriends and starts to train alongside with. This training provides a much needed outlet for Tack as he is finally free to release his frustrations. He is really enjoying this time with his new found mate and starts to learn things school doesn’t teach. However, after a shocking event in which a much loved one dies Tack sets out on a mission of revenge. The death comes at that hands of the leader of the Truancy and while Tack is against the Mayor and the Educators rule he now pledges war with the Truancy. He is caught in-between! It’s a real physical and emotionally struggle for him.

The book is written with each character telling their tale from a different point of view. All of the character accounts somehow connect quite neatly with the book’s central theme. The fight dialogue blends perfectly with the raw emotion and it will have you gripped to the core. It’s a page turner and an amazing accomplishment for such a young writer.
