Book Reviews of Stotan!

Book Review: By Future English Teachers -UMKC
Summary: 3 Stars

Stotan lacks the versatility necessary to serve as a text for general classroom study. Although Stotan contains several heavy topics such as relationships, racism, domestic violence and death, the physical and testosterone driven content narrows the audience appeal significantly. This novel is best suited as independent reading for adolescents with sports or swimming interests. The dialogue, pop culture references, and societal issues alluded to in this text emphasize the fact that this book was published in 1986. References to the Iranian hostage crisis, Tom Selleck, and Dirty Harry might be missed by today's teens. Crutcher left the reader with many questions about some lesser developed characters such as Elaine, Max, and Milika who were central to the storyline. The lack of believability of some of the story's events, such as Jeff's lying about his age and joining the Marines during his Junior year of high school,had the effect of underming the the speaker's credibility. Crutcher did succeed in his attmept to illuminate and encourage dialogue about some issues teenagers are bound to encounter on their journey to adulthood.
