Terry Davis is the reason Chris Crutcher is a published author.
An 18 year old high school student, who has a dream. Vision Quest, die Visionssuche ist ein aus vielen Traditionen überliefertes Übergansgritual, das Dir hilft, Klärung und Neuorientierung in schwierigen Lebensphasen zu finden. Welcome back. He pushes him self to his limit and beyond. I've read it probably ten times. I fell in love with protagonist Louden Swain.
I guess since I am originally from spokane that I can relate to this story in certain ways, but then again, I think so can alot of people, but not everyone unfortunately. The book venture into Loudens blood, sweat, and tears as he trains for his match. I am rewarded with the gift of the protagonist, Louden Swain's unabashed candor and uproarious humor. Apparently author Terry Davis was mentored by Chris Crutcher and this is definitely a case of the student eclipsing the teacher as it's far better than almost anything Crutcher's written. by Delacorte Books for Young Readers The Vision Quest Tarot is a wonderful treasure to behold!

In 1987 she began an ambitious business venture to open a second store in Simi Valley, CA. I passed it along to anyone who was interested after hearing me preach about it from my soap box. Im not sure why I kept reading. The quest only requires you to zone into the vision, and you can leave as soon as you want. I already liked the character Loudin Swain--hell I even named one of my characters after him--but I really fell in love with him through the book, which is much more nuanced than the movie. She had recently re-read it and was reminded of the compelling protagonist and the strong story line.Few YA novels provoke nostalgia in me the way Robert Cormier’s do–I’ve read and re-read Fade so many times.
I just read the This book wasn’t that good. Perhaps if I'd read the book first, I'd think differently, but I'm not sure of that. From acclaimed author Terry Davis comes the cult classic, Vision Quest, which was called “the truest novel about growing up since The Catcher in the Rye” by New York Times bestselling author John Irving.
DNF. I hated the protagonist, and many other major characters introduced in this book. They are shared with the memory of those who came before us and with those who are still yet to come. My guys really have to ponder it...and pondering is a good thing!this will probably be one of the first books I give my son to read when he starts high school. I cant say what the ending is. It is written in a very up close and personal tone with lots of reference to inner strength and determination. Louden does just about everything to make weight. Win or lose, the river flows again. A Wrestling Life: The Inspiring Stories of Dan Gable Awe inspiring colors and illustrations, this decks simple but powerful images captivate, energize and renew the spirit. Still going back and really getting to know this character was definitely a treat.I'm calm as I enter the circle.
Of course I immediately tracked down a copy and read it, then read it again... And then again. All the characters seemed like really nice people.I was surprised at how much I liked this book. Was made into a movie back in 85 or 6 with Linda Fiorentino and Matthew Modine--Madonna's Crazy For You was on the soundtrack, but I digress. I'm a wrestler and I can relate to a lot of the stuff that the book contains. But the funk of the movie just didn't translate as well onto the page for me. Louden Swain (the main character) is getting ready for one of the biggest matches he's ever wrestled. So far, that would be Not my usual kind of novel, but the movie with Matthew Modine intrigued me.
It's good, but it's not even the best wrestling book I've read. What I liked most about this book was that it was a book about a high school wrestler. Recently, though, a friend recommended Vision Quest, a 1979 YA novel by Terry Davis. Start to finish it was a solid read and was truly inspiring.
The movie has a sense of a normal teen trying to do something great, the book doesn’t Vision Quest is a unique coming of age novel that builds into a satisfactory, near perfect ending.
