This book "Stuck in Neutral" by Terry Trueman is a interesting book that takes you to another persons persepective. The main character Shawn is glued to a chair and seen lifeless to others. His father knows that he is suffering and sometimes thinks of taking the pain away. The book is in the point of veiw of shawn and what goes through his head. All others believe he is a vegitable with no sence of life ,which brings his life to danger. The seizers he gets throughtout the book make the father question whats right to do any why his son. Throughout the book Shawn tries to communicate his feeling to his father which is phsically inpossible for him to do so.This book both interest adults and those young. It is eye ctaching and heart breaking how no communication can happen. In the book the father's and son's relationship is heart breaking and makes you want to connect. I truley recommend this book to all who want to feel how it is to be confined to a chair for life and not being able to do anything, not even control your eyes. This is a little about the book, so read it a find out for your self cuase i dont want to spoil the good parts.
Well thats it.......----PEacE .....By: Sharilyn D =)
