The Final Countdown Just One of the Guys Edit Cast Cast overview, first billed only: Investigator Fujitsuka Natsuo Jay Leno A truly beautiful story and sumptious characters. I am grateful to have stumbled upon it. I look forward to reading it again; and just as it did this time I am sure it will bring several lumps to my throat. I could also empathise with Lucas and his experiences when having sufferd a severe head trauma sustained in a road accident I found my own reality and dreams crashed together and became inditinguishable but this wasn't why I loved it so much.
The story telling was exquisite and even the erotocism which threatens to overshadow some other books is handled with sensitivity and is necessary to convey a more complete understanding of just how desparate Lucas has become. I am sad to be able to write this wholly incomplete and largely understated review as to write it means I have finished at least for now the story of Lucas, Sawyer, their friends, their families and their enemies. Have I made myself clear yet? I adored this book.

I have never read a book that has left me sobbing in so many places before! Knowing what this poor kid went through Just sitting here writing this review, I am left with chills. I'm done reading and it still has an effect on me. I knew when I was already getting emotional during the Prologue that I should stop reading and pick up another book I couldn't bring myself to update for awhile. I don't think there was a dry eye in the gym! I know mine weren't.
When I was finally done with the book, I found that I had cried so much that I was emotionally exhausted. No book has ever effected me so much. I hope that when you read this review you don't think There is a lot of good in here too. And it's the combination of the good and the bad that make this story such a heart wrenching read! I am in total awe of this book and the amazing S. It was truly an extremely deep emotional ride from start till finish.
A heartbreaking beautiful story that at times made me forget to breathe and had me feeling every emotion that Lucas and Sawyer had. At times it was almost too hard to read because I felt so emotional and also cause I couldn't see anything because of the constant tears in my eyes went through 2 boxes of man-sized tissues in this one LOL! Lucas looses his 2 best f I am in total awe of this book and the amazing S. Lucas looses his 2 best friends and his girlfriend in a tragic accident, he is the sole survivor.
This story shows the aftermath of this accident and it plays out over a year to the date. First day back at school Lucas meets the amazing and beautiful Sawyer I fell in absolute love with Lucas and Sawyer! This is an emotional account of a teenage boy Lucas who suffers a tragic loss. Guilt ridden, he closes himself off to the world Sawyer is a character who you cant help but love. Although she has issues of her own, she helps Luc through some of the hardest times of his life and find the closure he needs.
Really did love reading this book, found myself in tears at times but it really is a beautiful story of love, getting through the hard times and moving on. The beginning started off so strongly and S. Stephens, I've come to find, is a magnificent author. However, I do agree with past reviews. It could have been cut in half and had a MUCH stronger impact. Now, when I say that, it does not in ANY way mean this story was not a strong one.
I am a sap for romances, love stories, movies, etc. I am pretty proud of that fact. Stephens is one of the FEW authors who truly brings welling tears to my eyes She writes in a way that is truly beautiful and reaches into your heart and to the depths of your soul. That sounds corny, but she continually makes me cry-and I rarely cry for books. Thoughtless was the same way; no matter how angry the main character s made me during the climax and revelation period of that novel, I couldn't help but to cry and I attribute that to the skillful writing of Stephens.
But, and this is a heavy but, I really felt that the book lagged after a certain point; thus the 3. Had she cut some longer scenes or dream periods, I feel it would have been a 5 star rating-a strong 5. I hope Stephens continues to write these heart-wrenching novels that have characters with such depth, because they are amazing and fun to read.
I cannot wait until another one of her expertly written novels comes out so I can admire her writing once again. For more of my reviews visit Oh my goodness this book was so emotionally wonderful. My heart never broke for someone so much when reading a book. This story is amazing, heart breaking, extremely emotional, and heart warming. You will go thru every emotion reading this book.
I'm not trying to To read more reviews go to my Book Blog: You forgot the prototype - now you're gonna die. The story begins with us meeting a grieving Lucas and seeing how going back to school in his small town is pure torture. Now all she wants is to return home to her I wish I could forget. It was great that she had gone through something similar but she still went above and beyond what most people would have.
You will need to put the book down and breath, cause you won't even realize you are holding your breath while reading it. He blames himself and he is having an extremely hard time dealing wit Lucas He blames himself and he is having an extremely hard time dealing with the accident and blames himself for it. He would dream about his dead friends and felt that was only way he could cope with living I don't care about that life I want you guys" Lucas loved his Lil with all his heart.
Lil loved Lucas with all her heart, but the tragic accident didn't give them a chance to tell each other I'm not trying to I never got to Then he meets Sawyer Sawyer had a troubled past and was making a mends in a new town and school. They connect instantly and she would be his savor Stephens is simply an amazing author!
I will forever love the Thoughtless series above all other books and knew this story would also be a good one. She just has a way of bringing characters to life!
I felt Lucas' pain and was rooting for him to find a way to forgive himself for a simple mistake and to find love and happiness with Sawyer. I loved their relationship and all the tenderness they held for each other! This one is definitely worth a 5 star review!!! Oct 29, Zann rated it liked it Shelves: I enjoyed this story but think it could've been told more concisely.
Lot's of narrative, especially in the latter part of the book. There were also too many dream sequences which got monotonous since they didn't really move the story ahead. There were a couple of spots when I questioned a word choice. For instance, a seventeen year old girl using the term, 'cronies', to I enjoyed this story but think it could've been told more concisely. For instance, a seventeen year old girl using the term, 'cronies', to describe the friends of a very unpleasant character in the book.
I could be wrong but it seems as though that is a word a seventy year old man would say, but not a teenaged girl. And is it just me or did the boys in this book get teary eyed or cry their hearts out just a little more often than a person might expect? Many parts of the story were too angsty for my taste, but then this is teen fiction so… Also, I never really understood why the students and teachers continued to believe Lucas had been drunk and driving the night of the accident. Tests showed him to be sober. That would've been public knowledge. In addition, I thought it strange that Lucas wouldn't defend himself.
His silence was like an admission of guilt. Sure, I understood that he felt guilty for his friend's deaths, but he was not guilty of drinking and driving. In spite of my above comments, the story has merit. It deals with the issues of teen suicide, drinking, drug use, the pain caused to others from gossip and rumors, friendship and the inner turmoil all this can cause young people who are trying to transition from childhood to adulthood and the characters were either likable or miserable depending on their role in the story. But I just couldn't finish this book. How many times can a break down happen without finally having some resolution?
It seemed like Lucas' break downs are always happening but without the much awaited "moving on" stage. This is not a long story, it is a dragged out one that has repeated scenes over and over and over again. No revelations, no resolu I tried. No revelations, no resolutions, no nothing. I know I shouldn't be one to talk because I don't know what it's like to lose three of the most important people in your life in one go but at one point, we all move on, right?
And I just couldn't read anymore of how Lucas can't move on. You can't keep on piling issues on top of another without revealing just a little Ms. I hope someday I'd be able to finish this one. It had a lot of promise, but for now, I know it would seat in my to read shelf for a while. The guilt that he went through with being the only one to survive that horrible accident that took the 3 important people in his life away.
He was bullied in school and even the teachers gave him accusing looks. All Lucas wanted was to get thru his senior year of high school.
Collision Course is a collaborative EP from American rapper Jay-Z and rock band Linkin Park, released on November 30, by Roc-A-Fella, Machine Shop. A collision course, also known as a kamikaze run, is the deliberate maneuver by the operator of a moving object to collide with another object. It is a desperate.
When he thought he had no one he found Sawyer. Sawyer became his strength and his light. She helped him when no-one else seemed to care. Dec 13, Chrisabel rated it it was amazing Shelves: I completely woke up" There were so many emotions going on for me though out this book. It has everything from romance, death, grief, anger, friendship, even a little forbidden romance.
Stephens does it; every book I have read of hers is just amazing. The details she gives her characters makes you feel like you really know them and fall in love with them. Collision Course was no exception. That is why she is one of my favorite authors, what she writes in her books makes them true pieces of art. I instantly loved the characters Lucas and Sawyer; in fact I want a best friend like Sawyer too! We need more Sawyers in the world, what a beautiful character she is. Lucas needed her in his life so badly and she was there for him, no matter how hard it must have been for her to love someone who was still in love with his dead ex-girlfriend.
Sometimes Luc made me upset, he was physically using Sawyer while he was dreaming of Lil. Not that I could blame him at all, he was very confused having feelings for someone else just months after losing his first love. I just wanted him to admit he loved Sawyer and not just in a friend way. I do agree with some other reviewers some of the story is a bit slow and repetitive but I really enjoyed it.
I cried a lot for Luc and what he was going through, especially at the end I was reading with a tissue box on my lap at 3 am. I wanted him to move on so badly and be healthy for himself and for Sawyer. The ending was beautiful and perfect. Graduation had me in even more tears and Lucas speech was wonderful closure for him and the loss of his best friends who should have been graduating with him. I think this a beautiful book for mature teenager and adults.
It really makes you think about life and why things happen, why people live and why some do not. I definitely thought a lot about life when I finished this novel. I give Collision Course 4. WHEN you read it, has tissues ready and please do not give up on this book if you start to want to give up. I promise it is so worth the wait to read the entire book. But…what if dreams were all I had?
Lucas is an average high school boy with his whole life ahead of him. In a split second, his whole life is changed. When he meets Sawyer a few months later, she becomes a small ray of light in his very dark and depressing world. This book should come with a warning as to how much it will break your heart. How the author so accurately gets in to the mind of a teenage boy is beyond me, but every emotion is real, raw and accurate. I felt terrible for Lucas. The tragedy he endures is compounded greatly by the fact that everyone thinks the absolute worst of him, when in reality he was trying to do the right thing.
He really is in a lose-lose situation. If he fights back, then he really is the asshole that everyone says he is. Everyone is against him except his mother, and the new girl, Sawyer. Sawyer has her own troubled past, but she and Lucas quickly begin to cling to each other for comfort. Their friendship is pure and really beautiful. They are both truly broken and hurting, yet they are so selfless that they only wish to fix the others problems. Being in high school and being a teenager is hard enough, but it would be even harder if the whole world is against you.
I am getting teary eyed just trying to write this review and remembering all the heartache I felt. I literally had a lump in my throat the entire time. So many times, I was actively weeping. With that being said, there were a lot of very sweet and wonderful moments between Lucas and Sawyer. She was so desperate to help him and to take care of him that she was not taking care of herself.
As any mother would, she was willing to do anything to fix his problems. I loved this story. It is very different to her Thoughtless series, but is really a testament to how talented of a writer she is. Lucas is involved in a horrible car crash along with his best friends and girl friend who all did not survive. It's everyone's worse nightmare and unfortunately Lucas has to live it.
I love this author's Thoughtless series and wanted to read more of her work. If you're looking for the same type of story That doesn't mean it's not good because it is.
