Book Reviews of Stuck in Neutral
Book Review: "I am in here, I'm just sort of stuck in neutral."
Summary: 4 Stars
Fourteen-year-old Shawn McDaniel isn't your ordinary kid. His affliction, cerebral palsy, denies him any control over his muscles, but unbeknownst to all who know him, he (p 10) remembers "everything" and is, in fact, "pretty smart." Typical of teenagers, he's interested in the opposite sex but feels differently about his seizures than one might think. Due to his father's interest in a man who mercy-killed his young, suffering son, Shawn believes his dad has designs on him to do the same. In Stuck in Neutral, the boy narrates the story of his surroundings. Even beyond the overall idea, parts of the plot go over the top at times, including an entire incident involving bullying boys and another's overreaction to their bad behavior. Especially after reading About the Author, one can't help but wonder what goes on inside the minds of those whose mental capacities and conditions are beyond our comprehension. Stuck in Neutral is a short, thought-provoking story. Also good: Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keys and A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar.
