As my first read by author Laurie Anderson, I have to say TWISTED was a great place to start. This raw and fiercely honest account of a young man's struggle to survive his not so atypical suburban life; is captivating and gut-wrenching as well as hysterically funny. I'm sad to say that the strife's Tyler endures are probably more common in many American households these days than we'd like to think. I commend Anderson on her ability to convey the story of a teen male with such candor and insight that it felt that the book was written by a man... A true credit to just what a talented story teller she is.Through Tyler's eyes we watch how his world is affected by one mistake. How that mistake changes the way people around him see and treat him... some for the worse and others for the better. But also how, that mistake also changes Tyler's view of himself.There are many heavy topics in this book with very real and serious situations, but it's not an all dark and deep read. Anderson does a fantastic job balancing the weighty and contemplative with the light and comical moments that are the reality of teen life. I laughed out loud just as much as my heart broke while reliving this young man's senior year.Twisted is a beautifully crafted read that is impossible to put down. A brutally honest look at a broken family and a teen that is basically a good guy struggling to make the right choices and be a better man... Even when no one else believes he can be... Even when doing the right thing still lands him in life changing hot water. I absolutely love the quote on the back of the book and think it does an excellent job summing things up... "Everybody told him to be a man. Nobody told him how."
It seems like every male character I read about in YA fiction is big, burly and tough. He never second guesses himself, he isn't depressed and heaven forbid he cry or show emotion. In "Twisted," Anderson creates a male character that is multi-dimensional. He has insecurities, problems and feelings that can sometimes overwhelm him. After being arrested for vandalizing a school, Tyler enters into his senior year where suddenly a beautiful girl in interested in him. That girl may be more trouble than she seems, and Tyler finds himself in icy water again, as his life seems to spiral out of control.I gave this book four stars, instead of five, because I felt some parts of the book were not developed well enough. Some of the relationships seemed to hesitate on the surface and I would have liked to feel a stronger emotional connection to the other people in the story. There were plenty of opportunities to develop the characters of the father, mother, sister, or love interest, but they fell short. Instead the story focused on Tyler completely, not reaching the potential that it could have.Still, I would recommend this book, especially to teenage boys. It is important that they understand they don't have to be tough all the time. That boys, as well as girls, can experience sadness, hardship and finally, hope.
I just finished Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's insanely good. It's a YA book about a teenage boy, tyler, who is in trouble. Just like most teens, he's trying to fit in. It starts off with him on probation for spray painting graffiti on the school. He figured he'd be considered a hero for this. So now he's doing community service by taring the school roof and digging holes for a landscaping business in between visits to his parole officer.He's got the hots for a girl out of his league. She just happens to be the daughter of Tyler's father's boss and her brother has been bullying Tyler all through school. But due to all the strenuous labor Tyler has been forced to do, he's bulked up.The girl becomes interested in Tyler and they go to a big party. She gets waisted and tries to seduce Tyler who decides to do the proper thing and not take advantage of her. She blows him off and disappears for a long time. Tyler drives her and her brother home because they are too drunk to walk.Long story short, Tyler gets in trouble for taking pictures of her in various stages of dress.Tyler has issues with his father as well, but I'll leave the rest for you guys to find out.
