Flipped-Stephen

Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen was a book that I thought was very interesting. It had lots of surprises including the ending. With many characters it was very confusing. It had a twisting plot and it was interesting to see the different character perspectives throughout the book.In the end I liked Flipped.

One reason I thought it was surprising is that Juli (a main character) has an uncle, David who is in a mental facility. That’s when she figures out who’s paying for her uncles care. (her parents) After finding this out she wants to fix up her house so no one thinks they don’t care about health. Again there are many characters. There is Juli, Bryce, Juli’s parents, Bryce’s Parents, Matt, Mike, Lynetta, Chet, Garret, and about Uncle David. It was pretty cool to see how Bryce and Juli saw things. One time Juli said she and Bryce were gazing at each other, Where as Bryce said Juli was staring at him for what he thought seemed forever. That was great to see.

Next time I think Wendelin Van Draanen should not have had Bryce’s dad call Mat and Mike drug dealers. Some thing I would like to know more about is why Juli’s parents did not tell Juli about Uncle David when she was younger. I also think that Wendelin should have had Bryce get so ridiculous at times. One example is when Juli was eating lunch with another guy Bryce came over and tried to kiss her.

I think that Flipped was a good book even though it was confusing. I found all my examples in the from my book that were used. My examples showed how there were lots of characters and how the book was confusing. I thought this book was interesting I give it 3 out of 5 trees.
