Lucas by Kevin Brooks
3.0
This was an odd book. I thought that the characters were mostly well-rounded - Bill was rather undeveloped and I was curious as to her real name - and the depiction of small town life was fairly accurate but I found Lucas as a character disappointing - particularly his resolution, and Mac's obvious alcoholism was largely ignored which I didn't think was a particularly good thing, and at the end it seems to be magically getting better with no outside help. You also have a man who hasn't said much throughout the story going into quite a profound monologue which seemed out of character but at the same time it shouldn't since the character was written as an author.
Overall 3.5 out of 5.
