I HAVE JUST READ YOU AND I LOVE YOU. Or rather, I have just read y' and I love y'. *************Before I even read the book, I decided this cover was perfect and ordered it from a UK seller. Colored hoodies FTW.
Fighting Ruben Wolfe is the second in the Wolfe Brothers series by Australian author, Markus Zusak. The audio version is narrated by Stig Wemyss. Quite a bit has changed in the Wolfe household in the last year: Cliff was injured at work, now has no jobs coming in and is feeling inadequate as the breadwinner; Mrs Wolfe, with two jobs, is working harder than ever; Steve is leaving home as his parents’ pride won’t allow them to take a contribution from him; Sarah is taking her break-up with Bruce h...
I picked this book up because of the author, Markus Zusak, who wrote The Book Thief, which is written incredibly well.Fighting Ruben Wolfe is above all, a story of brothers. Cameron Wolfe is the younger, shy boy with all the heart and cares about everything. He loves his brother, he's tough like a survivor, he'll get back up after getting beat down. Ruben Wolfe is the tough one, the one doing the beating up, the one with a perfect record, who can drop anyone. The bond of brotherhood between them...
So, I'm convinced that Markus Zusak could write an entire novel about mashed potatoes or asphalt and it would be brilliant. I also know that there is surely no other writer on the planet that could make me give a book about two boxing brothers 5 stars and hate that I've finished it so quickly!
I love this. I love Zusak and I love how Australian this is.
While not his best work, by the end Zusak found that prose I so love and the characters became the ones I love in Getting the Girl. It gave me my Zusak fix.
Markus Zusak and his ability to write has me completely obsessed with this series. Not only are the books amazing, the moral behind them has you questioning so many things within your own life. As he simply writes in this book, it’s not about the win, it’s about the fight. And those words can be used in all aspects, of everyone’s life’s.
There is just something uniquely magical about the way Zusak writes his characters - real, gritty and unforgettable. Developing the characters from the first the first book (Underdog) this book explores the relationship between the two boys. Zusak masterfully lays bare the differing ways that the two brothers respond to the conflict they encounter in their lives - both their internal and external conflict.Loved it! “It's funny, don't you think, how time seems to do a lot of things? It flies, it
I haven't read the first wolfe book, so keep that in mind, will you?I used to be like you. I had read The book thief, I had loved the book thief, and i was looking for more Zusak. I found Fighting Ruben Wolfe, and I was happy for that. Well, straighten up chap, I've got some news for you.1. Fighting ruben wolfe is the 2nd book in the wolfe trilogy. That means that there is a book you should read that comes before this one. 2. Where The book thief was cute and cry-able, the wolfe cronicles (can i...
