The handsome son of wealthy parents, Connor has everything anyone could want—except his family’s love and affection. Jailed for years after killing his mother’s child-molesting boyfriend, Tony is confused about his sexuality. Manic-depressive Vanessa cuts herself. All three stories intertwine in a brutally honest story about pain and resilience. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great gift!Any Ellen Hopkins books are great for teens. They show a light into a dark world that teens sometimes are not showed. Rating: - ImpluseI'd like to say that reading books made of poetry wasn't really my thing until a short while ago, then I came across impulse.

Anyway what I did enjoy and did not enjoy out of this book was: 1) The style. I took getting used to the poetry style that the three characters use. But it was ...

I kind of figured conor whould be the one to kill himself (secreatly i hoped i was wrong) but i always thought it would be when he got home. but i guess this was y the book was named IMPULSE.He was my favorite one in the book.I wish she had written about his funeral and his friends reaction to reading the letter his parents sent. Rating: - Such a well written bookEllen Hopkins did a phenomenal job writing the book Impulse. She has such a unique style of writing. I don't know how her writing could keep someone less than eager to keep on reading. Every page is written differently and is formatted in its own unique way. The way Hopkins goes back and fourth between three different troubled teenagers, each with their own problems, is remarkable. She manages to tell each story of each troubled teenager simultaneously. She writes in detail about the problems these ... Read More
