For this weeks journal entry I am going to write about a book I finished reading. The book is called Cruise Control and it is written by Terry Trueman. Cruise Control is about a high-school jock named Paul who is a great basketball player and has a future ahead of him at a good Division 1 college. The catch is, he is a pretty troubled young man. His dad left him when he was young. His brother attends the same school but, is in special education. Paul also gets into fights on a regular basis. The story unfolds pretty well with good representation of Paul being troubled and his inner thoughts toward his brother, mother, friends, and people he gets into confrontations with. Trueman does a good job of keeping the reader engaged with vivid scenes and good dialogue. It is a pretty good read in my opinion.
