Commentary Conducive To Books Glimpse

In one moment,
it is over.

In one moment
it is gone.

The morning grows
thin, grey
and our lives—
how they were—
have vanished.

Our lives have
changed
when I walk in
on Lizzie
my sister

holding a shotgun.

Twelve year old girl Hope's life is turned upside down when her older sister Lizzie becomes an elective mute and is institutionalized after trying to kill herself.

With raw and haunting writing reminiscent of Ellen Hopkins and Elizabeth Scott, Carol Lynch Williams is a promising new YA voice.

Commentary Epithetical Books Glimpse
Glimpse tells the story of a girl dealing with her sister's attempted suicide and choice to stop speaking, using poetry and lyrics to get the messages across.

"Glimpse," by Carol Lynch Williams, may be threatening to some teens because of its first appearance - it is nearly 500 pages in length and the cover is entirely uninviting. However, if you can entice a teen into really examining and reading the cover, actually opening the book, and reading the very first page - he or she will be hooked.In the fashion of Ellen Hopkins or Cathy Ostlere or Patricia McCormick, Carol Lynch Williams has written a novel in verse with terrific teen appeal! It is long,

The Chapman sisters live with their mom, who supports them through prostitution. The girls dont like their moms *chosen* profession (nor do they like her clients), but they mostly dont think about it. Then, Hopes older sister Lizzie tries to kill herself Hope finds her holding a gun and contemplating it sadly. Shes taken to the hospital before she can actually do any harm to herself and spends the next several months there without opening up much to staff about what precipitated her suicide

This was a quick read since it was written in verse.I figured out early on, around page 150 or so what Lizzie's secret was. I wasn't expecting this book to be about their mom being a prostitute and what she forced Lizzie to do. I'm so glad Hope chose to tell on her mom and stick up for her sister.This was a quick heartbreaking read.

This book in verse is very well written, but deeply upsetting. I gave it four instead of five stars because I felt it was a bit too much; it's pure misery. I'm not a fan of "trigger warnings," but I do think this book may be too disturbing for child sexual abuse victims.

I was quite surprised when I flipped through this book to see it's all written in poetry style. And, honestly, I groaned. I'm not a big fan of poetry. I think my main problem with it is that I believe in the rules that go with our use of English  grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. They all serve a purpose. As such, it can be hard for me to operate outside these rules. Not for lack of trying, just it slows me down SIGNIFICANTLY. Usually. While written as poetry, this book flows like a typical

As an English major I had my fair share of classes who's required reading lists included quite a good amount of work written in verse. I admit that I never really enjoyed it much. It could have been for any number of reasons, I may have been too immature to grasp the beauty of it, it could have been because it was simply required, or maybe because it was the fact that I had a time deadline that I needed to stick to, but either way I stayed away from it after graduation. Maybe I just don't have a
