 Impulse by Ellen Hopkins April 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A friend of mine owned this book first and lent it to me a couple weeks ago. I actually just finished it today. This is definitely one of the best books I have ever read. Every aspect of this book is pretty much flawless. This book is so good I caught myself reading it for hours at a time...and I never read. It's just that good. I will absolutely be buying this book for myself...I hate to see it go. The only thing is that this book directly ended on page 666, and I will admit that that creeped me out a little bit (the story is totally worth it, though).
insightful March 3, 2008
Impulse was such a great book. I loved following the characters through their daily problems. Each person has a different point of view on things and acts differently. This is real life! Finally an author who can write about real life and know what they are talking about. The characters in this book are easy to relate to. All of them are in for a different, but ultimately the same reason. This book offers a lot of twists that I did not expect. I was sad at the end of the book. But overall, i was able to walk away with a new insight into lives of those that are not too happy. A must read for all, especially parents of kids and kids themselves.

Vanessa was a troubled beauty, Conner was a depressed hunk, and Tony was the childhood disaster. Different lives but all similar pasts. Drawn together at Aspen Springs by a tragic choice of suicide from hate, love, depression, and the thrust to die. During their stay at Aspen Springs, they will have to face their past and their deep dark secrets of death, family, and longing heart for the gone loved ones. Inside the walls of Aspen Springs a different life arouses for the better or the worst for Vanessa, Tony, and Conner. Knowing the truth of them selves will soon be discovered.
Ellen Hopkins has a unique style of writing that had me hypnotized through out the book. I could not put the book down when I started. Instead of reading page after page full of text, Hopkins writes the story beautifully and poetically. I, myself never knew how poetry could tell such an invigorating story. I fell in love with the characters and their story. The story flowed wonderfully through out. "Impulse" was an insightful for teen depression and what goes through their head.
If you like a new experience in reading Ellen Hopkins has written it for you. With her intriguing way of writing will have you mesmerized. I recommend this book to young adult reader over the age of 14. People with a creative mind set will enjoy this book.

I don't regret reading this book but the end completely ruined it for me. I love books like this I just can't understand why then ending was so bad :(

She's read everything so far by this author and is very impressed by her writing and her books. She read it straight through, and she's not a big fan of reading! But she was fascinated by this story and its characters.
