Each Friday I'll feature one of my favorite books or a book I read in the last week and come up 5 words to describe it. View it as a super mini review. This week I'm featuring Tilt by Ellen Hopkins
- Dysfunctional
- Complex
- Painful
- Serious
- Abrupt
Dysfunctional: This refers to all of the families in the story. I always joke that my family is dysfunctional. We're the Cleavers compared to the mess that makes up the families in this book.
Complex: The book is told from three separate POVs. The all intersect and entwine. They also have a page at the end of each chapter that is told from a whole different character's POV. There are a lot of moving parts.
Painful: Like most of Ellen Hopkin's books each of the three main characters is going through a very painful time in their lives.
Serious: The characters are all dealing with some very serious issues. There is nothing fun or funny in this book.
Abrupt: Refers to the ending. There was a definite ending scene, but ultimately no resolution to any of the characters or their problems.
What a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shorter and simple way to share what you enjoy or not about the book.
Tilt sounds like a really good book.
I'll add it to my TBR list

I love the Friday Five theme! This makes your review easy to read and right to the point! Thanks for this great idea and short/sweet review!
ReplyDeleteI love these short and sweet reviews. I own several books by Ellen Hopkins that I have yet to read. I've never read a book in verse before but I enjoy when varying POV's are used.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that her books, although intense and heart wrenching, are very good.
I LOVED THIS BOOK! I have all Ellen Hopkins books out so far. This book was very touching. I would recommend it to anyone! It is hard not to connect to the characters and the story!
