Book Reviews of Running Loose
Book Review: A good teenager's life story..
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought that this book Running Loose by Chris Crutcher was really good, it started off slow so you didn't really get right into it, but as you kept reading it got better. I thought that it is a good book for teenagers to read because they can relate to the situations that these kids in the book get into. Even if you aren't in the situations you see them happening all the time. I wouldn't recommend this book for kids very young, or older people, it seems to me as a book mainly targeted for middle aged readers. Many kids think that if one big thing goes wrong then the rest of there life is over, and just get so caught up in that, but you shouldn't let it get to you. I thought that Crutcher got into good details to make it feel like you were right there with them, as if you were there friend. That is why it made it better and more exciting to read as it went on. I think that it is good that Louie stood up for himself, and that shows that it is ok to speak your own opinion, and you don't have to back down if you think your opinion is right. This book really grabs the details in life as of how teenagers react so much to little things. That is another reason that it is good for teenagers to read because they can understand to what Crutcher is talking about, easier than others can. With Louie looking Becky in a tragic accident also relates to teenage life, because there are quite a few instances where teenagers are killed. It affects so many people around, and really affects the people closest to them, and this book really shows how that works. So, all and all I thought that this was a good book, and really can teach some things about teenager's life.
