Impulse

Hey all. I just finished reading Impulse by Ellen Hopkins.... I would give it 5 stars. To anyone who has read Crank by her, you know exactly why. Impulse is about 3 teens who go to rehab for attempted suicide: one girl who cuts herself and feels to blame for her mother's death, one boy who's dad left his mother and his mother is a whore and never tried to guide him along, and one boy who seems to have everything in life: girls, strength, money, grades, looks... but he ends up being the most screwed up out of all of them.
It is a HUGE book (over 500 pages) but I finished it in 2 days because Hopkins writes in stanzas. Although the kinds of 'poems' (for lack of a better term) are not as creative as Crank, it still was a stunning read.
If you don't read this, I will be incredibly dissappointed in you.
