Impulse


Impulse
Ellen Hopkins
Vanessa, tried to cut herself to death. Tony, tried to overdose himself to death. Conner, tried to shoot himself to death. All have different stories. All have one thing in common. They all failed in their attempts of suicide, and all ended up in a rehab center. In their strict new way of life, they work through therapy, hurtful family relations, and friendships, to get out of rehab. 

This is a kind of depressing book. Teenagers trying to off themself, already living painful lives. It is a good book, but since this is the first book that I have read, I am going to give Hopkin's the benefit of the doubt, and I am starting to read Crank, another one of her poetic books. Another interesting aspect of her books, are that they are written poetically. She makes it hard, yet different to read. I would give this book a B though some would disagree with me.
