Adam und Lisa.

by Myron Levoy

Die 14-jährige Lisa verliebt sich in ihren Mitschüler Adam, einen ehemaligen Schüler aus einer Sonderklasse, der in einem verfallenen Holzhaus lebt und behauptet, er stamme vom Planeten Wega X. Natürlich nimmt Lisa ihm die Geschichte nicht ab. Doch erst nach und nach begreift sie, dass Adam sich damit selbst belügt um sein Kindheitstrauma - den alkoholabhängigen, gewalttätigen Vater - und die ärmlichen Verhältnisse, in denen er jetzt lebt, zu verdrängen.

This book tried to deal with some really tough topics. It talked about abuse, poverty, potential mental illness (that’s never really explicitly stated) and dealing with friends and relationships as a teenager. Lisa’s parents are also having some issues and Lisa’s mother has a little bit of a drinking problem. I really respect what the author was trying to do but unfortunately it just wasn’t executed as well as it could have been. Lisa was very pushy with Adam and while she did mostly accept him for who he was, she did try to make him act more “normal” as well. It also sort of made it seem like Lisa “fixed” Adam which isn’t really the way things work.

Auch wenn es sich hier um ein Jugendbuch handelt, habe ich es sehr gerne gelesen. Die Geschichte ist spannend und interessant.

Ein Jugendbuch, dass auch "Erwachsene" lesen können.

I was surprised, my 10 year old friend gave me this book so I assumed it was a kidy book. In the book, there is family dysfunction, abusive situations are discussed, nothing bad in my opinion, I think its great for 10+
