Louis Sacher is one of my mom and I's favorite author, after we shared reading Holes! I got the recommendation from lots of people who read the book.
At first, the book didn't seem that appealing, but the more I read, the more I got into the book! It was really amazing, It was after I read most of the book that I understood what Small Steps really meant, and how smart Louis Sachar is! The moral is that, life is like walking upstream in a rushing river. The secret is to take small steps and just keep moving forward. If you try to take too big a step, the current would know you off your feet and carry him back downstream.
That fits with a Chinese saying, that life is like rowing a boat up river, if you don't keep moving forward, you get pushed back. So if you don't improve, you will get set back and lag behind.
I think the author does a very good job in characterization, for example , with Kaira DeLeon; At first, the author makes us think that she is cold hearted, and arrogant, and only cares about money, but later in the book, we realize she's actually really lonely, and is nicer than we think "I have no friends. But then finally, finally I find someone I can talk to, someone I like. And so of course El Genius has to fire him. I swear that's the reason he was fired. Not because we did that song. Because he was someone I could talk to"
In all, this is an amazing book and very worth reading!
Yeah... I've read this book too. It's a great book.
