I picked up Flipped because several people said it was great and looked cute.
This novel was for younger adults than even I usually read for so it felt a bit elementary but I really liked how the voices of the two characters were so distinct and so different and it was a wonderful example of how the same events can mean different things to different people. There were some wonderful little bits about middle school, too.
All in all, I enjoyed this story and am glad I read it.
But it, too, won’t make the top of my list for 2011.
I just finished reading “The Hunger Games.” Gripping story! There are two more in the series and I’m going to read them next. My 10YO says that volume 2 isn’t as good as the first book, but you have to read it so volume 3 will make sense – and 3 is as good as 1, in his opinion. š
i read all three of them. i thought the first one was the best š
