Narration Concering 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)

I like Kevin Brooks, however I think this book was a disappointment. I was expecting something more exiting and thrilling than this, especially after Candy. Actually I found this book rather boring. The characters are not defined and specific, thru out the whole book you keep forgetting who is who. The main character Lucas is intriguing but nothing passed that. Caitlin is an average girl, without any spark. Something I am not used to, especially that those characters are fictional and I thinkI absoloutly loved this book.The relationship just kept on growing between Caitlin and Lucas. She always knew how to find him and she never felt felt akward with the silence that they head.But Jamie Tait, Well he was one s-i-c-k person. he probably always had the hots for her (although the alway he could get her was by force. He made Lucas look like a pevert and some kinda attempted killer(he wasn't).After what happened to Angel, the towns people murderously chased him down to the beach.Lucas
This 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
Where has this book been all my life? I am still just in complete awe of this book, but more-so "Lucas" himself. I don't know if you have read Stargirl but if I were to describe Lucas, the first comparison that comes to mind is Stargirl. Simply because they share such similar traits in my opinion. Both are very mysterious and have an "Out of this world" presence. The way I felt when I finished Stargirl was the exact way I felt the moment, I finished Lucas. Speechless and filled with unanswered

No matter how many times I read this book, I still hope for the ending to change. I know it never will, I know what happens is inevitable and will leave me in tears, but I still read with hope.This book is haunting. Once you read it, it will stay with you forever. A hot summer day will make you think of it. Seeing swans will make you think of it. Seeing kids trying to grow up too fast will make you think of it. A wild storm will make you think of it. You'll never get away from this book, you'll
A very sad book for anyone who felt lonely or isolated at least once in their life. This book has so much meaning to it eventhough the words are very simple. I couldn't stop crying and didn't want the book to end like it did, but the ending is what the book is all about. The story is very dark and full of jealous and shallow characters, and what makes this book so extradinary is one character, one boy who you fall in love with even if he is not real.
