Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Lucas
Lucas, the dramatic story of a young woman's encounter with the ugly side of humanity and her struggle to defeat it. British novelist Kevin Brooks's masterpiece is set on the island community of Hale over one summer, as 15-year-old Caitlin McCann realizes her small world is changing. Her brother is acting strangely, hanging out with the neighborhood reprobates and getting drunk, and her best friend follows his lead. To make matters worse, the son of an influential local has begun making lewd advances. And Caitlin feels she has no one in whom to confide: Her mother died in a car accident years ago, and her father, though loving and supportive, is a writer who spends much of his time holed up in his study. It's in this confusing context that Caitlin encounters Lucas, a lean, blond, blue-eyed stranger who mysteriously appears on the island. Caitlin feels drawn to him, but the other local kids are not: they call him a gypsy, and even throw rocks at him. Before long, Lucas is accused of a crime he did not commit, and Caitlin finds herself in a moral quandary. Lucas is filled with the kind of pain, love, and anguish that teenage readers adore. And Caitlin's quest to find her place in the world and to determine what's right is a struggle to which every teenager will relate. Why not start your own parent/teen book club with Lucas? Neither of you will be disappointed. (Summer 2003 Selection)Rating Appertaining To Books Lucas

5 Words: Prejudice, hate, love, kindness, hope.5 More Words: It broke my freaking heart.This book breaks me every time I read it.I always feel hope, that the book is going to change just a tiny bit and not obliterate my heart.I never does.And yet I still love this book.You've reached the maximum number of re-reading sessionsThis is the worst book review thing ever! I dont have the book with me and I cant remember all of the names of people and other things. You know the saying, Dont judge a book by its cover well I did. I just looked at the cover and thought, wow this book looks so old. And the guy looks creepy. He looks like a stalker. But my Liberian recommended it to me, so I thought that I would try it out. Then it was lying next to my bed, for like 3 weeks. I finally ran out of books to read (and it was in the
When I started reading this, I had a fair idea of what was going to happen eventually. Not the how, but the what--if that even makes sense.Cait said she'd cry herself a story, said it was better than to let sadness die inside her. And she did. She wrote the events of 2 weeks, with complete honesty. It made me think: was that all it takes to write a good story? Tell the truth and be honest?Brooks writes in a very smooth and casual yet not so usual way. He's pretty convincing as a girl and he
Amazing book. Uh-may-zing. From the second I picked it up, I wanted to just keep reading and reading. It was one of those books that everyone read a few years ago that I hadn't read, so I figured I'd check it out. I expected something light, you know, a sort of "transition" read. But this is a very dark and haunting story, the kind that I won't be forgetting for a whilemaybe not ever. Kevin Brooks does a fantastic job with unfolding the plot and making the reader wonder about abstract concepts
'Lucas' is the story of a very different boy who wanders into a small sea town. He also manages to captivate young Caitlin McCann's heart without doing anything. I loved this book, it was riveting, addicting and unrealistic but so good! Lucas was such a mysterious character that I had to rush through the book to see what he does next! He's sexy, suave and mature without coming off as a typical James Bond like character. Cait is a 15 year old girl, struggling with being a woman in an all male
This was one of the most influential books I had ever read in my life. I have met a boy who's nearly exactly like Lucas, also very misunderstood by society and pushed aside because of the things he has that they are afraid of. He's so different from the majority of us, and most find this hard to accept, but it's exactly these kinds of individuals that change our world that is so mediocre and cliche-ed. Lucas in Kevin Brook's novel represents the side of the individual that might be hidden
