Product Description
Sometimes you don't wake up. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same.Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act -- suicide. Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade. Tony, after suffering a painful childhood, can only find peace through pills. And Conner, outwardly, has the perfect life. But dig a little deeper and find a boy who is in constant battle with his parents, his life, himself. In one instant each of these young people decided enough was enough. They grabbed the blade, the bottle, the gun -- and tried to end it all. Now they have a second chance, and just maybe, with each other's help, they can find their way to a better life -- but only if they're strong and can fight the demons that brought them here in the first place.

 Impulse is a hit! July 24, 2008
Silver Sun (Grand Rapids MI)
I just love reading Ellen Hopkins books. Although Crank and Glass are my favorites, Impulse is a very close third. I love that we get three perspectives in this novel. The way that Ellen is able to reach teenage audiences impresses me every time. I will continue to buy and recommend all her books to my high school students. Thanks Ellen!!
 Tells It Like It Is July 1, 2008
M. Pikus (Cleveland OH USA)
This is a good book because it tells it alot like it is. The writing format I didn't like but the poem at the beginning was inspiring. When I started reading it I was reading it like a poem because of the style but it was still good.
best book ever June 21, 2008
Hopkins is an incredible author! I believe all of her books are brilliant! This is by far my favorite. Must read!
More to life than Jonas Bros! May 19, 2008
K. Schwartz (PA)
I got this book for my 13 year old for Easter. My child finished it within a week, talking about nothing but the book most of the time. Prior to reading this, all I heard about was the Jonas Brothers! Nice to see there is more to my child's life than their band (no offense, guys)! According to my child (I didn't get to read it yet, as others have already been borrowing it due to the reviews my child gave it), it is a great book!
