A review by abaugher
Deadline by Chris Crutcher

5.0

great story. Ben finds a very strong reason to pull out all stops on his life, go out for football although he's short, approach the girl of his dreams, read as much as he can, and get the most of out his classes at school.
He reaches goals, learns about life, and is told secrets far beyond his imagination, and then feels the repercussions of keeping his own secrets from those he loves. (I still think he was right to keep his big secret.)
Ben had a wise reflection of himself that he was able to communicate with when he was sleeping-called Hey Soos. I had my own bibliotherapeutic experience while listening to this book. Now i gotta read more Crutcher.
