Lucas

I just recently finished the book Lucas by Kevin Brooks. I thought the book was very well written, although it was one of those books where you're just saying, "When is this going to get exciting?" I absolutely loved how the author wrote though - although he's most definetly not my favorite author (that would have to be J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyers) - but it was very well written and had a hint of mysteriousness to it, kind of letting you decide for yourself what it meant. The book was practical, displaying typical situations for a teenage girl. I also thought it was interesting that the author decided to write from a girl's perspective, but I think he did very well at displaying the emotions. I wouldn't recommend this book, just because of language and some sketchy situations the main character finds herself in, but it was refreshing to read words that just flowed off my tongue and through my mind like music.
