IMPLUSE by Ellen Hopkins


I lied. Out of all of Hopkins stories, this one is most defiantly my favorite. The storyline is just amazing, in my opinion. It takes you through the lives of three teenagers in a psychiatric hospital after failed suicide attempts. It untwists their life stories behind the suicide attempts and the relationships the three have with each other.

In my opinion, the 3rd and 4th pages have one of the best poem like verses in this book. Out of the verses in the story, the ones at the beginning seem to be told by all three of the character, which I like.

Speaking of the characters, their personalities and reasoning so well drawn out that you simply fall in love with them. You feel like you know them, maybe even want to give them a hug... Anyway...

Hopkins throws loop after loop, sending you into... Well, I found it really hard to put the book down. The end should and will blow your mind.

However, I should've wrote this on the IDENTICAL review as well, so I'm sayinng it now. If you don't like the whole teenage struggles and issues thing, then Hopkins book are not for you. If you like that kind of thing or find it interesting and want to get in the heads of those with these kinds of issues, then you should defiantly read them.
