The mystery itself isn’t anything earthshattering and there are no big or shocking twists, which threw me off a bit, if I’m honest. But Daniel himself, and the more-than-half of the book devoted to his life story, more than make up for whatever the actual plot lacks. He's a fantastically created character, who rings 1000% true, and he’s one that you’ll want to be friends with for life.

Starts off rather uplifting, but I wouldn’t say it leaves me feeling good. Got a bit dark and I’m hoping that will fade because there is a lot of positivity here or at least warm contentment. I think just may reread the bits I enjoyed and hold on to those good vibes. ( ) liltastypuff | Sep 12, 2022 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: 2022 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel "A fantastic novel. . . . You are going to like this a lot."â??Stephen King "What's more thrilling than a fictional character speaking to us in a voice we haven't heard before, a voice so authentic and immediateâ??think Huck Finn, Holden Caulfield, Mattie Rossâ??that we suspect it must've been there all along, that we somehow managed to miss it? Daniel, the protagonist of Will Leitch's smart, funny, heartbreaking new novel How Lucky, is just such a voice, and I'm not sure it will ever completely leave my head, or that I want it to."â??Richard Russo For readers of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and Nothing to See Here, a first novel as suspenseful and funny as it is moving, the unforgettable story of a fiercely resilient young man living with a physical disability, and his efforts to solve a mystery unfolding right outside his door. Daniel leads a rich life in the university town of Athens, Georgia. He's got a couple close friends, a steady paycheck working for a regional airline, and of course, for a few glorious days each Fall, college football tailgates. He considers himself to be a mostly lucky guyâ??despite the fact that he's suffered from a debilitating disease since he was a small child, one that has left him unable to speak or to move without a wheelchair. Largely confined to his home, Daniel spends the hours he's not online communicating with irate air travelers observing his neighborhood from his front porch. One young woman passes by so frequently that spotting her out the window has almost become part of his daily routine.

Though, overall, a relatively enjoyable and readable book I found the ending too abrupt and quite meh, with the "mystery" driving the plot uninteresting and lacking a satisfactory dénouement. (
