Impulse

            Recently I read a book called Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. I loved this book and finished is within 2 days.
             Impulse is basicaly about 3 kids who try to commit suicide and end up in a mental hospital and they meet. In the begening it starts out with all of their stories of whyh they got sent to the mental hospital.    Their names are Vanessa, Conor and Tony. 
             They all meet in the mental hospital and become friends over time.  Vanessa starts to fall for Conor immediatly.  Tony does not care because he is gay.  In this certain mental hospital there are levels in which you go up and down with.  You go up with good things and down with bad things. 
              When you get up to a certain level you get to go on a camping and endurance trip before you get to go home.  Theyh all went at the same time.  During the trip Vanessa starts to go out with Tony who is no longer gay and Conor goes off his meds.
                                                       In one of the challenges something bad happens.  Conor has been off his meds for a while.  They all have to go across a bridge to go and get to the other side of the clearing.  Vanessa goes across then Tony.  Conor is going and he is thinking about suicide so he jumps off and he kills himself.  Imediately Vanessa tries to get him but the counselors and Tony hold her back.  It ends up thatg Conor is dead.  Then Tony and Vanessa embrace and they get to go home. 
                                                      Two things I like about this book was it was very intense.  I also liked that it was very true to some teens lives.  Two things i diddnt like that it disapointed me when Conor died.  Also that Tony wasv gay because iwanted him no to be because he deserves a nice girl.  I think the reading level of this would be a 9 out of 10 because it can be scray at some parts.  I would reccomend this to anyone that likes suspenseful books. :)
