Inside Out af Terry Trueman

I like this book, great story but I'll be honest wasn't that fond of the ending. Through out the book there was this intensity that kept me looking forward to what will happen to the main characters but once I reached the end I just felt as if it let me kinda of disappointed. This is why I give it 4 stars, great story just an ok ending and I would still recommend it to any of my friends.

Stuck in Neutral (Stuck in Neutral, 1) af Terry Trueman

This is a short book, but I still didn't finish it. I was too disturbed by the thought that the author maybe wanted to kill his own son and was using this novel as a way of working through that.

Also, and this is kind of strange, the first few chapters reminded me of [b: Bud, Not Buddy|368468|Bud, Not Buddy|Christopher Paul Curtis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388377422l/368468._SY75_.jpg|358453] because the narrators in both are kids in a terrible situation who are just so darn upbeat about everything. And by "upbeat" I don't mean optimistic, I mean they use a lot of whimsical expression punctuated with exclamation points like "Golly!" and "Gee whiz!"

Trigger warning: the main character calls himself a "retardate" and says he's a "real retard" and a "total retard" as if that is an acceptable label for someone with CP.… (mere)

Inside Out af Terry Trueman

Oh man, that last page got me crying. The entire book was so good to read, I read it in a single sitting. I was holding onto every single word, anxiously waiting to see what would happen next, and the book didn't let me down despite how sad I felt by the last page.
