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.

IDENTICAL by Ellen Hopkins


This was the first book by Hopkins that I read. I fell in love with her stories afterward. Anyway. Out of all of them, this one is my favorite. Mainly, it's about two twin sisters. One of which is being sexually abused by their father. The other is a trouble maker. You seem to be able to guess how the story will end and how it will play out, but once you reach that point... Boom. Everything changes and you're thrown for a loop. A good loop, too.

The writing takes you through the point of views of both the girls in verse. The one thing i like best about Hopkins stories being written in verse is how the book itself is so thick, but not actually that long. Moving on. If you read one of her books, you'll want to read the rest of them. I know I can't wait to get the newest one.

top 8 is about a girl who is an e-mail addict. she ends up getting hacked. she tries to find out who did by asking people if they had hacked her e-mail before the hacker can send hates notes everyone she cares. this book was awsome, i thought it was going to be chessey because of the begining but as the story progressed it was amazing. this book is for people who craves for drama and a happy-ending.

Wicked by Sara Shepard


Wicked is an awsome book about these girls Emily,Aria,Spencer and Emily who are getting weird text messeges about their deep dark secrets from the past threatning they"ll tell if they do don't do what they say. When suddenly they find out who the person is but then theres another A in town. This book is good because it keeps you flipping the pages trying to find out who A is the person sending the weird text messages. You want to know who A is read the book to find out.

Forest Born by Shannon Hale


Country girl goes to city, discovers her kingdom is in peril, and saves it, while discovering herself. Characters are complete and can be related to and plot is solid, but both are a bit predictable. A good book, but not earth shattering.

Carter Finally Gets It


By Brent Crawford

This book is about a freshman in high school. There is more drama in this book than you can find in your life (don't argue, its true!). He faces many decisions about what to do. Most of his decisions are made on teenage testosterone and male machoism.

Great book. You must read if you have not!
