Hello! I'm BellaGold (Username from OUAT) but my other usernames are Silvercloudstables (Howrse) Mrs.Whatsit (Stardoll) & Bluebellbunny (bad site, but it comes from a Sherlock episode, Bluebell, the little girl's glowing bunny - hounds of baskerville.)
Title: Full Tilt
Author: Neal Shusterman
Other books in series: None
Genre of the book: Fantasy, Action & Adventure!!
Anything I should know first?: No heavy swearing or anything, but some very slight use of laungage and a small kissing scene, (some people don't let their children read these parts?) and the use of themes some people might call scary.
My review: AWESOME book!! This book is one of my absolute favorties, and not at all scary, although some people classify it in the horror catagory.
plot/my summary: 16 year old Blake sort of holds his family together, although he was scarred by an accident in his childhood, which he blames himself for. He is neat and tidey and about to go to college. His mother is a desperate single mom, just got engaged to Carl, whom neither Blake nor his younger 13-yr-old brother likes. (very much.) He is constantly haunted by memories of the school bus incident in his childhood, and is terrified of rollar-coasters. Quinn, Blake's brother, is the exact opisite, with as many piercings he can fit on his face, a reckless attitude to everything, and a lust for adreniline, anything thrilling, Quinn's already done. One day Blake gets invited to the ultimate amusemeant park - by a beautiful and mysterious girl named Cassendra. Soon Blake, Quinn and two friends, Russ and Maggie are tossed into this new and dangerous nightmare-ish carnivall, where their lives are at stake.
I highly reccomend this book, READ IT!!
