Dangerous questions, unreliable family, summer flings, teenage disputes, dating, bullying, and lessons learned. This all sounds like a typical experience of an average highschooler, but this madness is a lot for fifteen year old Lucky Linderman.
Lucky Linderman has a horrible bully named Nadar, and he feels as if his parents are heartless and don’t understand him. Throughout the book the reader gets a view into Lucky’s crazy daily life, but also his only escape from reality, which is his dreams. In the beginning of the story Lucky is a weak wimpy kid who is lonely and in desperate need of help.With the help of all the bumps Lucky faced along the way Lucky’s character develops into a whole new person. In the end of the book Lucky wakes up from another dream, but this time he’s ready to turn his dreams into reality.
This book has a really good idea behind it but I don't love the way the author executed the idea. The language and structure of the story seemed childish and became annoying. Some parts of the book have strong language and crude humor that may be offensive or hurtful to some people. For example, in one part the characters are conversating and one says, “Listen to me. They may control what you do, but no one can pee on your soul without your permission.” The beginning of the book was kind of slow and each scene was repetitive but throughout the story it got a little better and became more enjoyable. This book was aimed towards teenagers, but the author is not a teenager in this generation and it seemed like the way the characters interacted was cheesy and stupid. Although I did not like this book in general, some parts of the story were good and very vivid.
I think you should put more quotes from the book.
