A review by oumaima_mekni
Lucas by Kevin Brooks

5.0

I wasn't very excited about this book when I first started reading it, I just couldn't fathom the obsession about a young boy living on his own, who's often called a gypsy. Then gradually and unexpectedly, the book grew on me and I never anticipated myself to be that overwhelmed when the protagonist and Lucas had had their first real chat. I was just as happy and as nervous as the protagonist herself. And when it comes to the end, I was heartbroken and I closed the book with a big lump in my throat. I just wanted to reach for Lucas and pull him with all my force, I didn't want it to end that way, yet I wouldn't chose any other ending.
