Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson

Name: Naorin H.  Grade: 10               
Title & Author: Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson
               
What was your impression of the book?  Excellent
Would you recommend this book to a friend: Yes
What was your favorite part?
My favorite part is when Tyler is ready to run away and he goes to get the gun from his dad’s room. Holding the gun in his hand and coming close to ending his life made Tyler realize that running away from his problems isn’t the answer and neither is death.
                       
Who was your favorite character? Why?
My favorite character is Tyler, because he goes through a lot in the story but he tries to make the right choices that will benefit those around him. Even if he wants something, he won’t do it if it’s not right. He demonstrated this at the Halloween party when he didn’t let things get out of hand with Bethany because she was drunk.
                       
Write a small summary (without giving away the ending)
Tyler Miller was a loser until he got arrested. All of a sudden, he has a new image and the most popular girl in school is interested in him. But just when life starts to look good for him, it gets twisted and he has to deal with his grades, dad, girl, girl’s brother, and even the police.
