It’s cool to have a character with albinism, but it’s really frustrating and disappointing that Reynolds doesn’t seem to have done his research. If you want to write companion books instead, that’s fine, but the cliff-hanger endings make it seem like it’s all supposed to be one broader story.īut what I actually want to talk about is the portrayal of albinism. There was more in this book than the others, but still not a ton.
I still wish the series overall had been more of an on-going story with more ongoing plot threads with the other kids in all of the sequels. I always like his writing, the story wasn’t wow, but it was in line with the rest of the series and did a pretty good job wrapping things up (although the very end was kind of sappy). ehr, world record.Īrgh! OK, two totally different categories of comments. All the love for another Reynolds home run. The messages of this (and the others) are strong and clear and heartfelt. Learning through trial and error but never giving up on yourself. It's about keeping your body and mind healthy with sports. So he's dealt with his fair share of being "odd", though the support he has from his family, the fact that his mom wasn't supposed to have kids and just days ago announced that she's pregnant with another, Lu knows there's something special in that. But there's also something about Lu that is a non-point but the reason that it's the point.
Lu is about a kid whose mother makes art from fruit, a dad who works a lot to make up for his ills as a kid (he ran drugs for a little while that you find out is part of the storyline in which he's responsible for some ugliness), but Lu helps him make it right with Lu's coach, the great Coach of the whole series.
Reynolds can write these in his sleep which is why he's the GOAT. But all good things must come to an end and with covers as awesomely vivid, sparse, and beautiful as these ones are plus characters that are well drawn in such a short amount of time with so much voice and feeling and empathy- no one wants to see this series end. The tragedy is that this is the final book in the Track series.
