Triangles

Triangles by Ellen Hopkins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


At first I thought I wasn't going to like this book. I opened to the first page and thought, " I don't want to read of book of poems." That is what it looks like when you open it like it is going to be a book of poetry, even though you made have read or heard what it is about you will be a little confused by the layout. At least I was. Once I started reading it though I couldn't put it didn't. I can't really say what hooked me, because I didn't really sympathize with any of the women in the story. I guess it must have been all of the drama in their lives and the lives of their families, and believe me there was plenty all the way around.

All I can really say is to just give the book a try and see if it is your cup of tea.
I read a lot of reviews that said this book was really sexually graphic, but I guess my idea of graphic sex and theirs are really different, because I didn't see that at all. I believe that I read somewhere that the author usually writes young adult and this is her first foray into this type of book. Well, you really wouldn't know it by reading this, and yes their is sex mentioned, but so graphic that it would make anyone blush.

It's basically just the lives of these women, who all need some self healing and prayer. Looking for someone is else to validate them instead of realizing that they are wonderful just the way the are, with or without the men in their lives.
