Twisted

Twisted, by Laurie Halse Anderson, is a very interesting book that i have just started reading. This book caught my attention because it was written by the author of Speak and Wintergirls two book that I very much love.

The main characters name is Tyler Miller who was, the year before, your average loser. He had once friend who was obsessed with stars wars and played his video games all day everyday. Also he has always been in love with the most popular girl at school named Bethany, who's the daughter of his dads boss. Bethany's twin brother Chip is always beating Tyler up. At the end of the school year he decides that he wants to do a huge prank that will make him popular. Tyler decides to spray paint a bunch of crude saying along the lockers of the school. He ends up getting caught by the police and gets in trouble with the school. Tyler's punishment is that he has to do a lot of community service at the school and he get landed with a probation officer. Tyler does constant physical work over at the school all summer so he ends up having an amazing body. When Tyler is forced into going to one of Bethany's dad's business dinners by his dad who way over stressed, he sees Bethany. When Tyler is standing near Bethany, Chip pushes Ty right into a waiter standing between him and Bethany.Glass, Bethany, waiter's, and Tyler fall to the ground and Bethany ends up with a ton of glass in her left foot. The ambulance comes and Bethany has to be stiched up and Tyler apologizes over and over again.


This book, Twisted, is funny and shows the real aspect of average high school students perspective on life. It always is keeping my interested and a new event happens in every chapter. Theres never a dull moment in this book and I feel like I truly know the characters. Although, Im not far along this book is becoming one of my favorites. :)
