Getting The Girl
Getting The Girl | Markus Zusak
5 posts | 11 read | 3 to read
In this sequel to the award-winning FIGHTING RUBEN WOLFE, Cameron explores the ecstasy, the danger, and the cost of love. Cameron Wolfe is a loser. He knows it. He's the quiet one, not a soccer star like his brother Steve or a charming fighter with a new girl every week like his brother Rube. Cam would give anything to be near one of those girls, to love her and treat her right. He especially likes Rube's latest, Octavia, with her brilliant ideas and bright green eyes. But what woman like that would want a loser like him? Maybe Octavia would, Cam discovers. Maybe he'd even have something to say. And those maybes change everything: winning, loving, losing, the Wolfe brothers, and Cameron himself.

I picked up this book because it was by the author of The Book Thief. I'm not sure why I finished it as it seemed disjointed. I did feel some empathy for the character Cam, but I was never sure of the point of the story. After reading it, I realized it was the third book of a series in the Wolfe Brothers. Perhaps I'd have understood it better had I read the previous two books. Definitely don't recommend it as a standalone novel.

I am apprehensive to read a Zusak book after The Book Thief. While I own a copy of this one, haven‘t mustered up the courage to read it yet.

Shan-nana It's going to be called 'The bridge of clay' - but he has no idea when it will be finished and has failed to write it for years (since before The book thief). We were lucky enough to to hear him read the first 6 pages from which I jotted down the following line: "As for the Murchinson's they were honest hairy people". @LauraJ 8y
