Impulse
Impulse
is a young adult fiction novel by Ellen Hopkins. The characters; Conner Sykes, Tony
Ceccareli, and Vanessa O'Reilly.
The
main setting is at a mental hospital. It starts off with the three main
characters talking about their experiences and how to get out of the hospital.
They all struggle with their own problems. Conner can’t bear the memories of
his childhood and the only thing that helps him is pills. Tony has a good life
except the fact that he can’t stand to be with his parents and everyone else
without there being a fight which takes a huge toll on him. Vanessa has quite a
bit of secrets but one keeps bringing her back to cutting herself. The only way
to get well and out of the hospital is if they all help each other out and conquer
their problems, not only temporarily but forever.
I
like how all the characters had an opportunity to have a second chance in life
no matter what they did in their past. My favorite character is Tony. I would
recommend it because I feel like many people can relate to this novel mainly
because everyone needs a second chance in life no matter what they did.
