History Literature / Stuck

* ChopSockey: Parodied. "I must say that [[MyKungFuIsBetterThanYours your Glass Fu is no match for my Judo Chop]]!"

** The Messenger originally was going to name [[spoiler: herself]] [[{{Heroes}} Rebel]].

* ShoutOut: As of chapter 42, Tre has uttered [[BattlestarGalactica "frak"]] 24 times over the book. Max even {{lampshades}} this at one point, stating:

* [[ptitle8nd319as No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You To Dine]]: The Shadow/[[spoiler: Todd]] invites Tre to dinner when he [[spoiler: kidnaps Nora]].

* DisneyDeath: Played with. [[spoiler:Tre thinks he's going to die twice, but only once does it actually have a chance of happening. Even so, had ghost!Tre not saved his real self he would've died for real.]]

** Also, when Nora and Tre are in the Möbler, they watch "TheIronGiant, which Tre states is "THE OPPOSITE OF CHEESY" [sic].

Think of it as [[DiaryOfAWimpyKid Diary of a Wimpy Kid]] [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on a heavy dose of adrenaline]], with near everything a media-overdosed 13-year-old boy could [[AffectionateParody parody]] mixed in for extra flavor. The book is split into three "episodes", sort of like the StarWars trilogy, but that's where any similarity ends.

* LargeHam: Tre, Cow, Max, Grassy, Cici, Allison... heck, let's just say [[WorldOfHam everyone except Nora is one.]]

* [[spoiler:SamusIsAGirl]]: The Messenger.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Tre, Nora, Max, Grassy and a lot of the rest of the cast are based on [[{{Tropers/Tre}} Tre's]] real life friends.

* TheFaceless: Until about halfway through Wheel, The Messenger.

* LoveDodecahedron: Tre likes Nora and Nora likes Tre. [[spoiler:Julianne wants to date Tre and becomes a "friend" of his to do so.]] In addition, there's also the unseen Lilly Rockwell who [[PrankDate prank dates]] Tre at the start of the book, and Allison, Tre's seemingly unimportant friend. [[spoiler: The chronologically [[{{FirstGirlWins}} first of them, Nora, wins.]] ]]

The book will release sometime during late September 2010 after being delayed four times due to quality and length issues. Episode One, "Stuck at the Galleria" is on Scribd now. Read it [[http://www.scribd.com/doc/29015320/Stuck-at-the-Galleria here.]]

* Episode One, ''"Stuck at the Galleria''", focuses on the aftermath of a caffeinated root beer (namely, Barq's)-induced shopping cart accident in a department store in the Galleria caused by Tre, which sets off a chain of events that lead to many quick plans, meeting a ragtag group of kids that live in the mall, an insane night guard who is given the [[EmbarrassingNickName nickname Cow by the kids]], and the start of the relationship between Tre and Nora.

!!Stuck provides these tropes for your pleasure:

* WorldOfHam

* ForegoneConclusion: If you're a fan of the song [[spoiler: "Loser"]] by Beck (or [[{{BilingualBonus}} speak Spanish]]), then the name of Part Nine, "The Best Frakking day Ever, or Todos Somos Perdedores", should already tell you [[spoiler: that Tre and the gang don't win.]]

* LoveDodecahedron: Tre likes Nora and Nora likes Tre. [[spoiler:Julianne wants to date Tre and becomes a "friend" of his to do so.]] In addition, there's also the unseen Lilly Rockwell who [[PrankDate prank dates]] Tre at the start of the book, and Allison, Tre's seemingly unimportant friend. [[spoiler: The [[{{FirstGirlWins}} first one we actually see ends up winning, that one being Allison.]] ]]

* SophisticatedAsHell: "And how" does not even BEGIN to describe how much of this can be found.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Tre and Nora play with this like a toy. [[spoiler:They do end up together in the end, but double subvert this in the process because Nora thinks Tre's cheating on her]]

* The third and final episode, "Stuck at the Wheel", is about [[spoiler:their escape]] and the wild chases that ensue around Greyson City as a result. Also includes relationship repairs, awesome Blindsided Shades sunglasses, LeParkour, falls down elevator shafts and a lot more.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Stuck at the Wheel. It covers a lot more in terms of thematic elements, not to mention [[spoiler: Tre's rather, erm, unsettling fall]] and whatnot.
* DisneyDeath: Played with. [[spoiler:Tre thinks he's going to die twice, but only once does it actually have a chance of happening. Even so, had Ghost Tre not saved his real self he would've died for real.]]

* FiveManBand: Granted, there are 8 of them, but after Stuck at the Galleria the other four mostly fade into the background, though they are still there.

* ForegoneConclusion: If you're a fan of the song [[spoiler: "Loser"]] by Beck (or just speak Spanish), then the name of Part Eight, "Soy Un Perdedor", should already tell you [[spoiler: that Tre and the gang don't win.]]

The book will release sometime during late July 2010 after being delayed twice due to quality and length issues.

** TheHero: Tre [[spoiler:Liparker]]

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: Stuck is supposed to be said as a sentence.

** TheHero: Tre [[spoiler:LiParker]]

||TheHero||Tre [[spoiler:LiParker]]||
||TheLancer||Max Cromwell||
||TheDitz||Cici||
||TheSmartGuy||Grassy||
||TheChick||Nora Irving||

* SesquipedalianLocquaciousness: Tre. This is justified somewhat in that Tre (undocumentedly, or course) has AspergerSyndrome (at least, the real one does)
